Is it normal to think covid restrictions shouldn't apply to me?

So I am by no means an anti-masker, COVID-19 is a really serious illness that we all need to do our part to stop the spread of. I have had family acquaintances contract COVID and they all agree that this is not a flu, it's a serious illness and they're lucky to be alive. I strongly believe that masks should be required and social distancing should be enforced. People should not be allowed to have house parties and we need to close bars. This is vital to stop the spread.

All of this being said, I don't believe these restrictions should apply to me. I strongly believe everyone else should have to wear a mask and not be allowed to party, but I don't think I should have to follow these rules. I find it really annoying to wear a mask and while I agree that others should have to wear them, I don't get why I need to.

    You offered no good reason why you shouldn't have to wear mask while everyone else has to. I expected you would actually have some sort of health problem that explains it. No you follow the same rules as everyone else, especially rules that you expect others to follow. Do you think nobody else finds it annoying as well?

    You're like "I think everyone should do it but I don't think I should do it." What do you mean??!!!

    Utterly nonsensical OP, but not surprising in a time when it's all about "Me! Me! Me!" for so many people.

    If you really do believe you have no social responsibility, I guess you also believe that everyone else should always obey traffic laws, but you should be free to drive down residential streets at 120mph, whizz right through red lights and drive on the wrong side of the road.

    No. They apply to everyone. You're not special.

      They shouldn't apply to everyone. Rich, poor, black, white. Vaccines should be optional.

        Natural selection, I suppose.

    I agree with covid restrictions but people who don't believe in the vaccine shouldn't be forced to get it or to wear masks if they don't want to. There has to be a balanced between freedoms and safety

    Why? What makes your case different from other people's, that the rules shouldn't apply to you too?

      Very true, raisin, and these vaccine and mask mandates are certainly bad rules!

    Everyone should be free to choose to wear a mask or get a vaccine.

    I don't think they should apply to me either. And fuck the vaccine. It's made to kill people.

      The virus was made to kill people. Obviously.

        Yes. They knew what they were doing. It's all part of the same plan.

          No, "they" didn't make the virus, but it does exist to harm.

          The plan? They didn't ruin the world on purpose. It's literally a self destructive plan then so what's their agenda?

    It's not uncommon for some people to feel like the rules shouldn't apply to them. Whether, or not it's normal is a different matter.

    Do whatever you want, nobody really cares about you personally either. If you live, you're a statistic, if you die, you're a statistic. Nobody will care about who you were or what you stood for though, so you might as well look out for yourself best.
