I guess it would depend on who I get to ask the question to. That would definitely change the question I'd ask.

I looked at the layout of a garden plaza, and when I realized that I didn't get any respond for it; I asked myself: What and why I design although many persons don't believe that I am an architect?

@DinaElwy

There are so many misconceptions about how a person of a certain profession "should" look like and unfortunately sometimes even related to gender, like "Architecture is for Men" but hey, what does it count what other's think, if it's your passion?

@barncat

barncat, I think many people would join you in this question including me. It's tough and it's no fun having to stay at home all the time. I still believe though, better this way than taking risks. I find it amazing what things are offered now free of charge on the internet, for example free virtual zoo tours or even museum tours in The Louvre, Van Gogh Museum, The Vatican Museum, British Museum , Metropolitan Museum of Art. ....

Us too we are doing click and collect shopping from our local supermarket, it's safer than going in as I've got a 4 week old grandson and an 80 year old Mum and I have to stay safe for them !@barncat

I want to ask why don't I do what normal people do? Is it a choice I'm making or do I not know how or am I not capable?

@HappyDucky8

It's tough to feel like being different or not "normal" but I too have asked myself this question in the past many times and found out from friends that they are asking themselves the same question. I do not believe there is anything like for example media claims for being "normal", all people have their challenges, flaws but also strengths.

Origami is very creative and a great way to spend time whilst in isolation.
