I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said
I guess I missed this one. I'm a bit OCD but I love finding work arounds.
With the cracks around the hole it looks like the circle just forced himself through or made the hole
It took me awhile to figure out that Just Be Yourself™ is normie speak for telling you to just relax.
Also, telling me to relax is like telling a tree to do pushups.
I don't think that's totally accurate. I think it's more that they don't know how a mask works, and they think that you're deliberately being fake to fit in.
If masking wasn't a thing, it would probably be decent advice. Problem is 99% of us have no idea we're masking until way later, if ever.
I agree but we know they don't really mean it.
