Mask Optional and Social Anxiety
So my friends and I had agreed that we were going to continue to wear out masks even when mask are optional at my school. Majority of people therefore will be not wearing masks and I am fine with being the only one not wearing one in all my classes except English. The issue is that nobody in my English class knows me bc they are all juniors and I am a senior and they don’t know what I look like either. I already feel isolated and left out and it’s the one class in which wearing a mask would cause me a lot of anxiety probably to the point of panic attacks. Would I be a bad person if I wore it during anytime except for English class?
