I still do. It makes me feel more comfortable. There’s another kid in my class that does as well but other than that, I don’t see many people wearing them. I’ve heard some people compare it to how some people wear sunglasses all the time to help boost confidence. 

I like being able to hide my mouth. It’s helps when I accidentally mumble because no one can hear. It’s helps when I lipsinc lyrics or mouth words to myself. It helps when I know I don’t have to fake a smile when I’m anxious. It also hides some of my biggest insecurities. 

I mean there are sometimes where it makes me more anxious in some places though. I live in a more conservative town and area and I can feel people judging me. But idk, I feel like the pros outweigh the cons for me.

I’ve decided I probably shouldn’t make myself uncomfortable for other people, so I’m gonna keep wearing it for awhile. I’m gonna work on my confidence, but I’m gonna wear stop wearing it until I’m fully comfortable.
