I never really got over it, I just gave up eventually. I took precautions on everything I did for awhile. Wore masks whenever I was out, washed my hands thoroughly when I got home, didn't touch my face when I was out, even sprayed packages with disinfecting spray. Then my mother, who wore masks with only her mouth covered and not her nose, came over and hugged me and my brother. Just once, for like two seconds. Two days later, I was on the couch (where I stayed for two weeks) coughing, pained, and running a fever. I coughed blood atleast once, hit a fever of 104, and poured sweat so much I looked as if I'd fallen in a pool. I got better but my sense of smell was heavily effected and I was out of breath more easily for awhile.
After that, I just realized that all the protection in the world is pointless if everyone else is just gonna go around spitting and sneezing on anything in reach and gave up. Got covid three more times after that, each less terrible but I developed long covid and have to deal with that for however long I have it. I still keep my distance from people in stores or other places as best I can, seemingly haven't gotten it again, knock on wood, and I am slowly, very slowly, recovering from the long covid. I do still spray disinfectant on things in the house whenever someone has a sniffle and can't stay in their room, though. It makes me feel better, atleast.
