Right now I have Covid for the first time. I feel almost ashamed of the fact that I’m sick, even though I got it from school (inevitable) and I tested positive before I even got symptoms. This image is a good description of how I feel. Isolated, ashamed, alone, with others blaming me for things out of my control.

I know what you mean! I haven't gotten it yet, and now that more and more time passes by I've thought about how silly I'd feel if I got it now finally after all this time! But! When you think about it.... you made it so far without catching it! And it actually makes more sense to catch it now! People (including ourselves) are less careful now, comfortable not thinking about germs spreading again (which is just human nature). Anyway I second what @sundancer16 said about people needing to mind their own business and not blame you. [I know this post is over a week old, so I do hope you're feeling a bit better by now, but I also know covid is strange so in case you're still feeling low... I hope you feel better soon!!]
This is an absolute work of art. I'm so sorry you have Covid. That's no fun. There is absolutely no need to feel ashamed. Everyone I know has gotten it at some point, even everyone I know who is vaccinated got it. I've gotten it twice myself. It's inevitable so embrace it and relax and enjoy some alone time. It's no fun to be isolated though. People need to mind their own business and not blame you. Jeez. People are so immature.
