I have read various opinions about mask wearing- one is you look weak by wearing one, mostly the males feel this way. Another is you are "frightened" and
"scared" like a little bunny rabbit..I constantly see the "if you are scared then wear your mask" "if you want to hide out for the rest of your life.." etc...shaming others. I have also seen the finger pointed that if you are wearing a mask you ARE automatically SCARED and they aren't.
I also believe that vanity plays a huge part in it...especially if you are of a certain age- looking at you young adults...they don't want to cover up their beautiful faces, they need to be "attractive" to the opposite sex. I am sure if they are insecure, wearing a mask makes them feel even more insecure regarding how they might appear to others.[/QUOTE
Still wearing a mask here outside NYC. Definitely more people out and about judging by traffic heading towards and from the local greenhouse or winery. Everyone in stores wearing masks with the 6' spacing for checkout marked on the floor and arrows directing flow of people through the aisles. I'm a bit OCD about staying safe considering I have multiple risk factors.
