"but no one is using masks anymore you should stop using yours"
fuck that
Someone saying that I am "panicked" because I refuse to go out in social environments without my gasmask.
I masked when MOST OTHERS were.
Now they are mostly not.
All the more reason for me to do so
Have I taken risks? Yes. Last week. I went out to eat with my parents. Special occasion. Psyched for it.
I did not get the anxiety spike.
One moment of lowering the guard. But I am not lowering it in general
All because that person suggested me to take someone out to eat tacos.
When I had explained that I could accompany that possible date to eat, but I would not unmask.
Yeah, I take it more seriously than so many others.
All the more reason for me to do so.
It was also a bit shamey.
Fuck that.
I will mask for the rest of my fucking life.
