a couple questions that probably only pertain to me, lots of rambling @elexia so, a genuine question, i know that tone doesn't come across in text very well at all, but please know that this is coming from a place of ignorance, not of a desire to be inflammatory, though i know it was used that way and... i suppose, for reference, i'm a states dweller, this stuff has been out of the general public's mind for a while now, barring like, boosters, at best

but, did the vaccinations not do as intended?
why i'm asking is that wearing masks or covering my face with anything makes me extremely anxious, i'm not an anti-masker or a COVID denier by any stretch, before the vaccinations were available, i wore them when i went out in public, opting to isolate the majority of the time.. but, for reference, i ended up quitting my job over that anxiety (lucky enough to still be living with my parents at the time, dunno what i'd do now...)
and like, i still do wear them when i know i'm sick, with anything, on the off chance that i can't just stay home

and, i know it seems like a lot of ramble and explanation just to be cagey about the actual question here, but like, i know the frequent reactions when questioning masking practices basically at all... i lost friends, i was basically called a murderer, and mind, that was towards the tail end when vaccines were becoming widely available
now, we're at the point here where even they probably wouldn't care anymore...

just.. i don't want to hurt anyone... but i don't want to be on edge anytime i'm in public either... how can i do that?

and i know the probable response is going to be to go kick rocks or get over it... barely even know why i spent the time writing this out..
sorry...
