Don’t want to stop wearing your mask? Psychotherapist explains | WTOP
Why the fuck are we psychoanalysing people who still want to wear masks during a pandemic because we haven’t reached herd immunity instead of analyzing the people who never wore them and threw fits every chance they got
why I still wear a mask even though I’m fully vaccinated:
1) if I do wear it, it has a 0% chance of affecting me whatsoever,
2) if I don’t wear it, I have a 6% chance of getting COVID or spreading it to someone else, not to mention all other diseases that I am not vaccinated for. Because diseases other than COVID exist and can spread to other people!
3) it’s still allergy season
4) other people don’t know I’m vaccinated and frankly most of the people immediately throwing out their masks are probably anti maskers and anti vaxxers that are going to spread the plague and I’d rather people feel safe around me than wonder whether I’m vaccinated or if I’m a republican
5) In addition to all of the above after over a year of not getting rude and invasive comments about the fact that my facial expressions aren’t proper or being called a liar when I’m not, I like my face being hidden and don’t plan to stop wearing a mask because frankly no one is entitled to see my face and I like it being covered.
6. It’s also gnat season. You ever inhale a gnat? Because I haven’t inhaled a gnat since summer of 2019, and we’re keeping it that way.
7. I’m in Brood X territory so I have to deal with two simultaneous plagues. last time around a cicada almost flew into my open mouth and I would do literally anything to prevent that from happening again
