Do you enjoy wearing face masks, or do you only do because you have to?

They're good Karen / zombie repellent. Not good for much else. If they're to thwart something that is actually more dangerous than Chernobyl, then why are there zero specialized bins provided for disposing of them when they wear out?

Why does Moderna (IG Farben) want to put antifreeze in our veins? The whole thing smells like a Greta Thunberg Jim Jones cult. Except, world governments are not giving you permission to refuse to join the cult. You have to drink the Kool Aid , by law! I can usually hide what I'm thinking just by not going out in public. But this "must reduce you all to only 500 million" insanity? Not worth getting used to!

Mostly because I have to since it'd getting hot now.

Over the winter though it was great! my face was so warm throughout the winter
! And I was working in a warehouse where air circulation... is... not the beat. So it was freezing. But the mask was so warm, LOVED IT.

It sucked over the summer though. Again, air circulation is terrible in a warehouse as big as the one I worked it (nearly 1,000,000 square feet.) And even though the mask doesn't really restrict you from breathing, having a piece of cloth placed over half of your face when INSIDE the warehouse was reading over 98 degrees at time, Made it much much hotter. It got so bad we several people operating heavy machines pass out. The entire facility was shut down for 2 weeks for precautions as they looked into the incidents. THANK GOD for the companies covid pay policy or else no one would have made a dime during that 2. weeks that we all desperately needed.

I'm used to wearing face masks since I work in healthcare. However, having to wear them in stores and places like the mall is annoying because I hate having to keep my beautiful face covered in public. It's also annoying because I tend to lose or forget my masks, which can cause problems when trying to get into certain places.

[ZackBan]

Honestly anyone saying they like them are either lying to themselves or just psychopaths.

Masks are torture they restrict breathing smell bad if you had lunch right before, ruin your beard (if you have one) make you unable to hear speak clearly, yank on your ears... i could go on but you get it.

If they were optional I wouldn't put them anywhere near my face. But they are mandatory where I am so I have to suffocate ever day and the covid cases keep rising so they are largly ineffective which makes wearing them that much more annoying

[pervertedjester]

I actually like it. Keeps a lock down on bad breath and people who can't contain their saliva when they speak. Aside from that there's an added benefit of my beard being protected from the elements so it's a lot thicker, softer and healthier then it's ever been.

[OlderAndWiser]

When it is cold, a face mask keeps my nose warm and that's nice. Otherwise, they are a pain in the ass.

[BeMuse]

If they serve a legitimate function I don’t have an issue wearing them while I work with biological or chemical agents. I also don’t have an issue wearing them in high dust situations. For COVID though, no that’s stupid and flies in the face of 40 years of scientific research. I haven’t worn one the entire pandemic. We never had state mask mandates here. When I have to use brick and mortar stores I do not wear a mask, and no one ever says anything to me about it. It’s more so that store employees wear them because their boss says they have to...

[broken_heart_at_48]

I hate wearing a mask but I do out of concern for others but mostly wife and daughter. My wife is already very sick and if she catches it it's most likely to be a wrap. Also I've had covid-19 twice already both times I was tested and tested positive both times. The first time was the worst flu I've ever had I lost a bunch of wait and my lungs still haven't recovered the second time I just had a headache for a couple of days which isn't normal for me plus my lungs were a little worse but I didn't think I had it I just got tested out of concern for my wife and boom I had it. It's coming up on maybe 10 months (I'm terrible with time lines) since the first time and I still have to take a break just going up the stairs at my pad cause I'm breathing but not getting any air it almost makes you panic. Anyways it's real and no joke it will kill you or your loved ones so double mask it

[WhiteSteve]

I do it out of respect and concern for others.

Related: I would be TOTALLY on board if we agreed to adopt the Asian social custom of wearing a mask in public whenever you have so much as a cold. It’s super easy to wear a mask, and it shows you have a shred of decency and actually give a shit about someone beside yourself, which seems to be a lost art in America.

[Browneye57]

ONLY because I have to. They do nothing, and the pandemic is over. There is roughly a quarter of the population that hasn't either had it and recovered, or been vaccinated. The spreading of the virus will simply die out.
All of these lock downs and masks and all the bullshit they made people do, did ABSOLUTELY nothing to stop the virus.

So, all of the great minds and governments in the world couldn't stop a little virus, but they think they can prevent climate change. Such fools.

Fauci is a complete fraud. HE is a leader in the agencie that gave millions of dollars for gain-of-function virus research in Wuhan, that which was outlawed in the USA many years before. These people are crooks, should be in prison.

[DiscomfortZone]

Are you actually referring to the Covid-19 protection masks? They're uncomfortable and a nuisance, nobody could enjoy them! And yet, we wear them, those of us who aren't selfish fucks, that is. Over here me and some other volunteers like walking around main streats and forcing the morons to fix their masks so they cover mouth and nose. Those who refuse - well let's say both local police and emergency healthcare services take long enough before getting there, so we have pleanty of time to disappesr 😂😂😂 (last time this woman told us it was her right to go without a mask, so my pal broke her nose, she bled all over, was beautiful, you should have been there!!)

[Levin]

Enjoy it?

No, it's a tyranny.

I can't breathe properly, I get a tight chest. I get agitated.

It's ironic, all of the mandated advice:

Staying at home, avoiding social contact, restricting breathing, minimising sunlight, concerted and conscious fear-mongering, gas-lighting and arbitrary rules, are clearly fundamentally in opposition to good health.

Fuck them. Fuck anyone who advocates them.

[NetSapien]

The crazy thing is too many people don't understand the importance of wearing a mask, and of those the majority think it's for some selfish reason like 'protecting myself'.

I wear a mask out of courtesy. I know I'm not sick, but I do not know if I'm carrying it. So out of courtesy and care for the community, I wear a mask.

Do I enjoy it? no
Do I 'have' to? no

I choose to

[sd1223]

I wear one because I have to because of work and then also trying to do my part but at the same time it doesn’t bother me at all. They’re so many different colors, patterns, and designs you can get, so you can make it fun to wear them in that sense. Haha my old super who’s like a second mom to me and I used to buy so many at the store we work/worked at.

[hunsinger]

PROs
- fights corona
- makes me feel mysterious
- hides the occasional zit
- warms me up when it’s cold outside

CONs
- feels stuffy
- requires me to keep up it
- creates higher likelihood of a political discussion

All in all, I don’t like them, but it’s not all bad!

[JDavid25]

Only cause I have to.. And if I can get away with it with even that I would.. Especially when I'm at the gym and I get on the treadmill.. I start to sweat profusely, and it gets on the mask making it wet, and that's not a great feeling.. I'm honestly tired and I don't know why they keep those mandates up as according to the CDC mask don't even stop 2% of transmission even after 81-100 days of mandates..

[jshm2]

Both.

Before CV19 I would wear masks when I had to, such as in dusty server rooms, med labs and other particle heavy places. Didn't think much of it.

Now I have a fashionable collection of them, some even match my tie, and I wear the mask every opportunity.

[genericname85]

the only reason you see me wearing a mask is because i'm legally compulsed to do so.

for example: in germany, you can not go into a store wearing no mask. in many cases not even if you have an official doctors certificate of illness that makes wearing a mask detrimental to your personal health and life.

[Shamalien]

Stop being weak and stand up to tyranny. I won’t wear a mask, if someone denies me service I’ll stand there and argue and I usually get my way, we have the right to breath freely and anyone who thinks they can take that away from you is a FUCKING TYRANT

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

No one enjoys them , they break out peoples skin , and you can’t sneeze in to your arm and have to smell your sneezes all day. Not to mention I haven’t been able to wear my lipsticks. I’m sick of them. But I understand why we have to

[lofii]

Face masks are an affront against God.

Covering your face symbolizes deceit and corruption.

Under that mask people are mocking you cussing you out in front of your face.

Only a deviant would enjoy wearing a mask to cover their face

[AmandaYVR]

Why would anyone enjoy it? Oh, because they're a germaphobe?

I hate wearing them. It's stuffy under there. But we all have to do our parts to kill corona.

[pajamasam]

Of course it's not enjoyable. I caught it once in February and it sucked ass. I dont wver wanna catch covid again or put anyone through that. I wear mine in public to be safe and be courteous to others who also don't want to catch jt.

[HOAAH]

I some times like to wear it because I think my face is slightly ugly so a mask would mean that I don't have to show my face. In the winter it helps me to keep my face warm. I can just wear a scarf over my face and then it would feel even warmer.
