I think it’s probably psychological but I find wearing one for any length of time restricts my breathing and I always end up having to use my inhaler. Technically I’m exempt under Scottish guidelines from having to wear one in most places but am I strawberry float wandering around maskless.

I hate wearing one and try to be as quick as possible in shops so I can take it off.

The same, I really don’t like wearing one especially when I’m carrying heavy parcels into the post office, it really does affect my breathing, I also don’t tend to speak particularly loudly so it makes me feel that I need to speak at a higher volume that would be normal for me and I don’t like how it covers me so if I smile or something people can’t see (I forget this and tend to smile anyway)

But after saying all that then if it really will help in stopping the spread of a possibly deadly virus then I obviously don’t mind and will continue to follow the rules as I have done from the start,

I hate how it stops you from seeing true facial reactions. I too smile a lot in interactions with people to shows thanks or appreciation.

I have to wear a mask all day at work so I've just got used to them.
They fog my glasses at times and can be a pain in hot weather but they're not as bad as I feared they'd be.

The reusable one i use now is not too bad at all, i just loop the elastic around the back of my head rather than around my ears as it's more comfortable that way.

Also, it doesn't fog up my glasses, and i'm able to pull it up and down as and when i need to (such as in town when i head in and out of the shops).

Definitely. I feel a bit self-conscious at work because there's only 3 of us that are wearing masks, but overall I really like wearing a mask, I feel more at ease social interactions

Gotta say I like wearing the masks and don't understand the big deal people make of it.

As a result of the lack of social distancing between avatars in this thread, Vermi the lion has masked up.

Jim Corr is an anti-masker, and Jedward are having none of it.

Reading through Jim Corr's twitter posts.... He is a very unpleasant man.

:lol:

Jim Corr (the man Corr!) Is one of the worst guitarists to ever be in a successful band. His solos are hilariously bad, whoever mixed their albums actually turns him down when he does them.
