I've actually been taking advantage of this works great lol
I realized that with a mask on, no one can see the big smile on my face. How else am I going to rub my happiness in depressed people's faces?
And it covers resting bitch face. People treat me so much nicer now!
Don't look anyone in the eye if you don't have to.
Can't make everyone happy, can't make everyone like you.
You'll just drive yourself mad !
I hate making eye contact but I find it's somewhat easier when the other person is wearing a mask. I don't know why.
The mask works like an equalizer.
I have noticed that girls look at me more during this pandemic. I'm convinced it's because I'm more attractive with my face hidden.
I never force or fake a smile. Its empowering honestly.
Not having to full-on smile at work anymore is genuinely a positive. Just give a lil eye squint and people get the gist nowadays
Growing up I never understood how adults could always be so fake to each other... now as an adult, after trying to not be fake for 10 years, I've found that being fake - is wayyyyy easier than making any kind of friction.
For me, there's a happy medium in being polite with people to avoid friction, without being fake and pretending you're friends.
I'll go with friction. Maintaining a lie takes way more energy.
I just pretend people I don't like don't exist. But only if I genuinely dislike them.
It helps that I keep to myself typically, so those people just assume I'm not sociable and don't come to me im the first place. But among friends, I can get wild.
Me irl
Or just for women, too.
Face coverings are depressing for happy people who want others to see them smile. So win win for depressed people.
Damn I didn't think about that
I enjoy making faces at strangers as I walk past. lol! They have no idea! I practice in the mirror so I know it's not recognizable! Haha!
Yeah i love it its been great in that regard
I am not depressed and I love it for that same reason
For anxious people, it makes us a lot more comfortable knowing half our face is hidden. I'm the type of person who always thinks about how other people see me, I've rarely felt that much at peace at school, in the street or in shops lol
Yet I still find myself doing it out of pure habit
Literally the best thing to come out of this pandemic for me personally has been not having to worry about people asking me if I'm ok or why I don't smile more
A true smile is in the eyes not the mouth
As a cashier, I think about this all the time.
You can totally tell when someone smiles under the mask though.
Why would I ever force a smile.
And it makes hiding your face easier.
How convenient.
On the flip side though, I like to smile at people so wearing the mask can be depressing. I like people to know when I'm happy. Or that, at the very least, I'm a nice person.
Yes!
I don't care either way, I'm confortable to walk around looking how I feel.
I now don't look like a total a-hole for avoiding people, instead I'm thanked! I love it
I keep catching myself smiling at people because that's what I've been trained to do as a woman.
And then you realise your upper-face doesn't shift at all when you smile so you just look like a creep checking people out.
Definitly not me
Saaaame
I find myself not smiling as much with the mask nonsense
Except people who pay attention can see the sadness in your eyes
"Oh dont worry, I'm not sad, just tired"
This is literally what I say to my mom every single time I see her and she asks why I seem "quiet"
I just say I don't feel good
They're also good for lip syncing the lyrics to whatever song is on in stores without embarrassment.
or if you have anxiety, maybe not for everyone but for me, covering my face helps with my anxiety for some reason.
Me too
It's not like forced smiles actually convince people of much. They're typically just too polite to point it out
But I've spent years perfecting my fake smile and I just involuntarily do it under my mask anyways
Yup, i actually really like masks for this reason. i can hide my blank emotionless resting bitch face and just talk normal and be percieved as normal
Right! It's like you're invisible.
Actually, I love talking to myself. Out loud. Helps me work through issues at work or whatever. Having a mask on is great because I can do it the entire time I'm grocery shopping and no one can tell.
yeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSASS
YES! Also the public is protected from my resting bitch face lol
Was walking to the pharmacy to pick up my anti depressants a couple of days ago. Fully crying, but with a mask on and a hood (it was also raining), no one questioned me.
I honestly love wearing a mask for that kind of reasons.
It's so nice to not have a face in public.
Honestly, I could wear the mask from now on. I am home most of the time so I don't usually have to wear it for long lengths of time. I am not a social person and it helps prevent interactions with other people. I also can move my lips to sing to myself while in the store without people thinking I am weird. I can just nod my head and maybe say hi if I see someone I know.
I'm not depressed, but I relate to this so much.
Retail workers too, although most if not all are depressed.
I try to tell this to my mom but she goes on about how "bIlL gAtEs Is EnSlAvInG uS"
This is totally unrelated, and forgive me I am unaware...why do so many people think that bill gates has anything to do with this, or vaccines or any such thing in general?
It's the fuzziest of thinking. People see a terrifying problem. They see experts offering a solution to the problem. They correlate the two. The experts are the problem.
Trump understands this kind of thinking. He won't be the solution because it will associate him with the problem. And he encourages blaming experts to further distance himself.
idk, all I know is my mom and her 15,000 strong Facebook group believe that he is one of the "heads of the Antichrist" along with Anthony Fauci and Kamala Harris. Those people are nuts, man
