I don't know about that. I tend to avoid social situations.

The start of the covid era was bliss. No people anywhere. But then things got way worse when our personal space was shrunk from comfortable 4 meters to suffocating 2 meters according to the covid guidelines.

I don't know about german word but there is a Finnish phrase:

"No niin"

The meaning of the phrase changes greatly depending on the context and how you emphasize the words.
