I was in a great mood a couple months ago, around December and I went to the store. I live in the midwest but the area I live in is fairly good about everyone masking up and being respectful.
So here I was in the store, smiling at everyone because I'm in such a good mood. I have my headphones in I'm picking up my fancy cheese and beer and other misc. items. I'm noticing more people looking at me, but I'm being a smiley happy person so maybe theyre just picking up on that. I remember one guy just looking at me with a happy expression.
I get to the check out and I look in my purse. And I see my mask. I audibly say oh shit and fling that on my face. I was so embarrassed I made my partner go to the store for two weeks after. I was thinking they were all on my same happy vibe but they were looking at me like I was the idiot.
I still get red thinking about it, honestly made me feel so bad. Silly mistake but yeah I do not want to look like someone who doesn't think this is real.

The fear of looking like an anti-masker overrides my fear of the virus itself

It's sad. Trunp could have made an absolute fortune selling MAGA branded red masks.
