“It’s so embarrassing that you still mask in crowded indoor spaces.”

It’s pretty wild to think about how people are literally using peer pressure to get others to risk catching a virus linked to dozens of long-term complications

This anti-mask bull is honestly so 80s.
“I don’t want to wear one, it feels better without” didn’t fly back then and it shouldn’t fly now.
Both times, I don’t f ck with people like that.

@DrPsyBuffy I've never had a chance to use it myself because I just don't go to crowded indoor spaces, but I feel like a good response to this is to deadpan look in their eyes and say "I know more than you."

@DrPsyBuffy With my most unhinged voice, “Whaddya kidding me? There’re cameras everywhere! You want your face and location recorded in some gubmint database?!?!”

What’s actually embarrassing is when people think they need to spew unsolicited healthcare opinions.

And I just got treated for cancer. You’re goddamned right, I’m wearing a mask.

Or, “It’s so embarrassing how you’re too stupid/ignorant/gullible to take simple precautions to prevent long Covid &/or organ damage.”

@DrPsyBuffy Me: "It's so disappointing that you think my life is less important than your temporary discomfort, sweetie."

Will they ever be brought to realise that they 'are the assholes'?

@Tooden In 20 years when their friends have died to young and they have COPD maybe. They act kind of like smokers 30 years ago. @DrPsyBuffy

@DrPsyBuffy embarrassing to whom, really?

Anyone saying that to me is pretty much guaranteed to embarrass themselves right out of my presence.

@DrPsyBuffy People actually say that?

If a stranger said that to me, I'd not care. If an acquaintance said that to me, I'd have more time for what matters in my life.

The attempts at shaming/bullying people into weakening their personal safety to buy into the fiction pushed by our gaslighting society is wild.

@DrPsyBuffy "I've given in to peer pressure, you should too, then I won't feel embarrassed that you have more mental fortitude than e."

That shit doesn't work on me.
I revel in it. I hope my masking makes them really uncomfortable.
