It’s confusing how “masking” means both:
- wearing a piece of cloth on your face to protect yourself and others against illness
- contorting your personality to fit uncomfortable and seemingly random social norms leaving you constantly exhausted and unsure who you even are
And given the people I follow, I see both forms of “masking” mentioned a lot, and it always takes a moment to stop and decipher whether I agree on if it’s good or bad to do it forever, because it really, really depends on which one they mean.
