    A mask is like socks and underwear for me: I feel weird if I don’t have it on, especially when wandering about.

      Yeah it does not have that much of a natural feel to me but its never been much of an imposition. The most difficult thing is I have glasses and live in a place that has winters so like my glasses can get fogged although my scarf does that to. I actually have an idea for next year on that. You know though it is kinda wierd though because now I kinda relate unmasked as kinda private and intimate. Like it feels a bit lewd to be walking around without one. Maybe like walking around without a shirt as a guy. So maybe more impolite than lewd.

        For my part, I no longer have to figure out what face I should wear when around people. As someone with autism, adjusting to humanity can be troubling.

          its kinda nice to because you see someone else with one and you give a little nod or such. I sorta miss hanging in a subculture and in a way this provides that nice little thing.
