Do you feel like an absolute d**k in a mask?

[NC4NW123]

Whether you agree with them or not... do you?

@Aridane Thanks! I don’t have great skin but I do quite like my eyes so really the mask is an improvement!!

Nope, I don't mind them at all. I've got some quite nice ones too with washable cases, so I always have a nice clean one available and they smell good ha.

I wish we had normalised wearing masks when it's flu season/when you've got a cold years ago, always made me feel a bit ill to see people coughing and sneezing everywhere on the train/in work! Hopefully this might make people more aware of their grotty germs hahaha.

But of course that's probably just my brainwashed, subjugated self talking ;)

(side note: I'm genuinely fascinated by the anti-maskers who say we're being brainwashed and controlled and all the rest. What the fuck would the government want with us all in masks? What point would there be?)

I hate them. Have to wear them round the office and feel ridiculous. As long as they are not mandatory anymore I’m burning them. I hate not seeing faces and not hearing what people are saying. Also I am fatty but my face is quite pretty. I’m having to hide my best feature so my fat arse is more obvious now.

As soon as they are not mandatory I’m burning them, definitely complying now.

No. My mouth feels a bit hot when the weather's warm, but I don't feel like a dick. I don't think anyone wearing one is a dick either (except the people who wear them with their nose hanging out... I mean what's even the point..?)

It was also great last week when I had a cold sore and nobody had to look at the great weeping blister on my lower lip

Yes, I feel like an idiot. I’m saving a fortune by not going anywhere I have to wear them unless I absolutely have to 🙄. I’ve ramen to shopping in Iceland as hardly anyone wears one 😂

@msflibble - the men who swagger around with mask bElbow nose literally look like they have a little dick protruding above their mask

I like that it hides my big nose and i only need to wear mascara instead of full make-up

No, why would I?

Don't mind at all. And it's the equivalent of 200gbp fine if I'm caught not wearing one (required in all public areas).
It's amazing how the threat of a big fine makes mask wearing tolerable even in 40 degree heat.

I've got used to mine and don't feel silly any more. I have however this week had some delivered that have a clear window in them as I know more people than we realise use lip-reading but I do feel silly in those at the moment, I have not worn them out of the house yet.

@Aridane

That is exactly how I have been seeing it, @msflibble!!!!!

Thank you

@OddBoots - do they steam up?

They haven't in the short time I tried them on in the house but they might if it was colder outside and/or if I was walking and breathing more heavily.

Are you supposed to do one of those smear and rinse things with washing up liquid like for scuba masks?

Nah. I work in a care home so well used to it!

No. I might feel silly if absolutely nobody else was wearing one.

I quite like it as I don't have to bother about the state of the bottom half of my face, long live the mask!

I do. I have a thyroid thing that makes it hard to regulate my temperature. So I'm red-faced and sweaty.

I don’t feel like a dick but I hate wearing one with a passion. I,m quite quietly spoken and find that I’m having to repeat what I’m saying a lot, speaking louder doesn’t come naturally and the mask seems to muffle whatever I say and I feel like I’m interacting less which makes me feel rude. I’m avoiding going out apart from essentials (which isn’t a bad thing).

Also, I just think it’s really sad looking around and seeing everyone in masks. It’s a constant reminder of the crappy situation we’re in.

No I wear one , I've got used to it now for shopping . Did not enjoy having to wear it the whole time at Warner brother studios yesterday , it was so hot and stuffy . Puts me of going out .

Felt like a ninja in mine yesterday, dressed all in black with a black mask

Might try one of those recommended for specs though, fed up of damp eyes!

I quite like wearing mine as I don't have to worry about what I'm doing with my mouth (I have an awkward smile).
