oh yeah, i was wandering around the flea market when someone came up to me (not masked) and asked "hey dude, why are you still wearing a mask? you got cancer or something?" and i've had a story in my head for a while that i concocted for the purpose of getting someone with an anti-mask vibe off my back, which went something like
"i've had covid 3 times (most likely false)1 and each time i had no symptoms at all so i thought i was good, but then i visited my mom shortly after i was "sick" that doesn't see anyone else (false)2 and later she got covid, and she told me she can't hear as well out of one ear afterwards (half-false)3 and i felt guilty about that, so i just mask everywhere now to not get anyone else sick (true)4 because i don't know if i'm an asymptomatic carrier for covid or something (i'm probably not)5"
and he went "oh, well good for you, i just don't see anyone wearing a mask anymore" and walked away. can't tell if i lied successfully or if this dude didn't want to call my bluff lol

i've never tested positive for covid, i've been in the same living space as 3 separate people that tested positive in 3 separate instances and isolated myself and masked the entire time indoors and still never felt sick / tested negative
-
she lives in the middle of nowhere by herself but still goes out to visit her parents when they need help and to do errands
-
this did happen, but to my bf after being on a flight for christmas which he recovered from after a few months (longer than it sounds)
-
i try to mask in all public indoor spaces regardless of occupancy and in sufficiently crowded outdoor spaces, i feel anxious otherwise
-
even if i am an asymptomatic carrier i don't wanna push my luck and find out
