I actually felt that I would get it this whole time and wasn't surprised at all by my positive diagnosis. Surprised it's taken until now to contract it.
I wish it were easier to get an anti-body test cause I wanna know if I had it yet, but mostly out of curiosity

From someone that has validated these things, the antibody testing is not necessarily what the media makes it out to be, like its a sure thing that you will certainly know that you have previously been exposed. Most of the antibody testing is looking for responses to the spike protein and the nucleocapside protein where they may be the well known responses but also pretty much the neutralizing antibodies. Which then you are asking two different questions, were you exposed vs do you have immunity? However the current antibody testing doesn't necessarily answer either of those questions definitively, only a positive response in the test means yes to both questions, a negative response doesn't actually mean no to either question.
