But, in terms of socializing around people in general I guess I a really am an introvert. Also, my sensory overstimulation is helped by not being out in crowded places as much. That being said, I would take being uncomfortable around people any day if it meant this pandemic was over or improved. It's just something I am noticing about myself. Also, I have dermatitis on my wrist that I cannot get rid of with all this handwashing and hand sanitizer using because it keeps re-irritating it. Not a big deal, but it is getting annoying. My significant other is thinking of getting a dog and so I have been having fun looking at pictures of pups for adoption and sending them to him.

Have you tried washing your hands with Dawn dish soap? I know that sounds weird, and I know the soap is kinda "sticky," but when people rescue animals (e.g., ducks that get caught in oil spills), they use Dawn because it doesn't irritate their fragile skin/feathers/whatever. It's very gentle. You can also use baby wipes if you want. Baby wipes don't get rid of coronavirus germs, but if you're cooking and your hands get dirty (for example), you can just wipe them off with baby wipes. You can even use Johnson's head-to-wash baby soap. e.g.,
