How long do you plan on wearing a mask for? Will it be for the rest of your life? What will change your view?

This isn’t meant to be inflammatory. There’s someone at work who wears one everyday and I’m too afraid to ask them.

    A facemask is a visible sign of casual compassion. It’s a sign that you aren’t going to let your own poor situation make anyone else’s life harder, and don’t want anyone to suffer needlessly. There are some people who don’t care about others, but they also don’t want to appear cruel, so their only recourse is to tear apart symbols of kindness and claim themselves superior for being “smarter” or “more honest”.

    That’s my understanding of the “stigma”, but I can’t judge everyone.
