Asheville and Western North Carolina at large are in crisis after Helene, please consider contributing to these local organizations and helping the people whose lives have been destroyed.
Moshing with a mask on does not sound very comfortable. Or even feasible, really.
Unless I'm sick and need to go somewhere, I'm done with them after the pandemic is over. I miss seeing faces.
Keeps my face warm during the cold, Norwegian winter. I like it. Will continue masking up in winter even after Covid.
I hate that the majority of people are going to dump them at a certain point, because as a teacher who has been hybrid since September, it sure was nice not having the usual flu/strep season that makes it's way through the building multiple times.
That, and I just love how they look. Korea has the right idea with them being a piece of fashion.

Oh man I hate wearing these things. They're uncomfortable af. Also I need to be able to spot cute faces. Everyone's all eyes right now 😥😥
With that said if I see anyone wearing one after the pandemic I'll just be like "Oh they're being hygienic". That wouldn't have been the case pre-pandemic for me.

I think adults should go full sci-fi masks.
I'm ready for the mask/helmet wearing future!
I want to be the Green Ranger 🤣

"Wearing masks for over a year" is true, but at the same time it hasn't turned in a habit as I feel I wear them very little. I'm simply avoiding going out to places where I need to wear a mask. Shopping is in and out so I have to wear it only very briefly, going for a walk will be somewhere on the countryside instead of in a busy center, no public transport whatsoever, not going to work even when I could, ...
I don't mind them other than they make me feel really warm. It combined with my thick hair results in a very hot boy.
I ended up buying a really comfortable mask that doesn't pull my ears forward, which was my main complaint with standard masks and the cloth one I was given at work. I actually like it well enough that I wouldn't mind wearing it more often, but probably wouldn't regularly if there's not any actual health risk.
It's helped keep my face warm in the winter air though, I'll give it that.

I like them and will keep wearning them during flu season just like they do in my japanese videogames.
Mixed feelings wearing a mask.
I find its more for those who are aick so they don't spread their germs while out and about. Of course its also handy for healthy people to wear them for extra protection. I haven't had a cold in over a year due to the social distancing and extra cleanliness.
I also like masks as its way easier to give people dirty looks or swear at them!

I voted other.. I don't enjoy wearing them, and will stop using them all the time when not required. But I will do so when I enter crowded areas like mass transit for the foreseeable future.
Masks are convient because they hide my dental issues. But in general I just really dislike them. I'm not a crowd person at all, but I miss seeing people smile.
I do think they should become mandatory during flu season, though, at the very least for public transport.

The only time I don't like wearing a mask is when I'm going on a run. Otherwise I'll continue wearing them regularly, especially during sick seasons. I have my atom masks for everyday wear, my orbitgear mask for shows, and hell I'd get that smart mask from razer if it ever releases too.
No interest in wearing it beyond the pandemic. I enjoy seeing facial expressions, seeing mouths move when people talk, not having my nose itch all the time, and the general discomfort in wearing it. I know it's not bad, but if I don't have to, I won't wear one when it's all said and done.
That said, I'd have no problems wearing one again when times call for it

I kinda dig them. Sometimes I feel like a god damn ninja when I'm wearing one. They're also surprisingly good at shielding your face from the elements during the winter. That said, I found them pretty uncomfortable once it got into summertime, and they are nearly unbearable to wear while exercising. Having a conversation with one on is annoying.
Also, I'm shocked at how many people I've thought were more attractive wearing a mask.

I might keep using them in winter, they're pretty nice in the cold. But other than that they'll probably be gone once this is over
YES. BRUH YES.
Like I'm in line and ppl can't fucking realize that even not in a pandemic they should give me ample space. And because it's America it feels hard to speak up cause what if the person feels aggreived by simply saying back up and is packing?
I like wearing masks for health reasons, but as a large black man, I hate how vulnerable I feel in public spaces when people can't see that I'm smiling.
I won't feel comfortable doing it if most people aren't.

Everyone is more attractive. It turns out the nose and mouth make up a large % of your attractiveness.
I hope mask-wearing becomes normalized after this. I rather enjoy not having to look at some stranger's fucked up facial hair, yellow teeth, cold sores on lips, or a stray, hanging booger sticking out their nose. Also not having to smell someone's smelly ass breath if I get too close, that's also definitely a positive. All of this applies to me as well, of course.
Maybe not everywhere but I'll definitely start wearing them more often if not all the time at work (I'm a nurse in an emergency department). Also in flu season I might start wearing it on public transport too.
Even before the pandemic, I liked the idea of wearing a reasonably sized mask that could filter out anything harmful from the air. Something smaller and more stylish than a gas mask to help protect against the air you can't avoid breathing that likely has extra chemicals in it that aren't doing any favors to health.
