It’s not the worst, but certainly not a pleasant experience at least in summer or winter. In summer your face gets all sweaty and disgusting and in winter I get a runny nose and the mask gets disgusting. If it’s not really necessary I’d rather don’t wear it.
It’s funny. I didn’t understand these sorts of complaints until I remembered I have a beard. There is always something on my face and I’m just used to it.
I’m inconsistently bearded/shaved and I also don’t care about wearing a mask. I can wear an N95 or equivalent all day doing manual labour. I get that some people have breathing difficulties, etc, but for those who don’t… never really understood the objection. You forget it’s on after five minutes.
I’ve not stopped masking since the start of Covid. I’ll put one on before going into a shop and frequently only remember to take it off when I get home. Medical masks are even less of a bother.
I do hate the masks with elasticated ear loops, though. They hurt. I don’t know whose bright idea that was but they need promoting to a position where they can’t cause any more damage.
Yes, I get strange looks. But I can convey with my eyes that I think they’re a Muppet for not wearing a mask, so I don’t get many actual comments.
covid or no covid, its not the worse thing to wear masks and stay safe!

Ngl I kind of liked having a mask in the winter here in Canada. Never had to actually bring out a scarf

But if you’re bearded, N95’s don’t work
They may be slightly less effective, but they absolutely still work.
So it’s an inconvenience you would rather not put up with and let some old coot die.
I hope you also don’t drive a car since it’s just for your convenience and kills people
