Does wearing a mask make anyone else braver in doing things?

I like wearing a mask because I can wear or do things without embarrassment. I purchased thongs, lube, and a vibrator at W. and wasn't afraid of being seen. Does wearing a mask make anyone else braver in doing things?

Ummm.. I'm not really sure about braveness, maybe it's a confidence.

Tom, I think you need to check local laws. You don’t want to attract the boys in blue

Getting older has done that for me… I care less and less about what the cashier may think when I shop for femme or other things for myself.

Oooh I’d love to step out of my closet wearing a 😷 . Passing and blending would seem so much less challenging. I live in such a small town. No mask would give me anonymity.

I wouldn't say “brave” in doing things, but anonymity certainly helps. The first time one does something new it's scary. Say you want to buy a bra. You're scared the clerk will think you're a pervert cross dresser right? Even if she can't do anything about it, you're embarrassed at what she is thinking and that she might see you in the street later and tell her companion, “I sold that guy a bra today! I wonder if he's wearing it.”

Wear a mask; she can't see your red face or recognize you. Want to go out dressed? Go to some city and wear a mask so they don't know you.

Speaking of brave things. the weirdest feeling I have had in years was walking into my bank last year wearing a mask!

Never even thought of this one. Where i live virtually all bank operations are done over the internet or else via machines in the (small) bank office. The only time we see actual real people working in a bank ace to face anymore is for taking out a loan or making investments.

Otherwise it's all done without human interaction. Which is why bank robberies are so rare. Soon Hollywood will have to think up other scenarios for action thrillers.

Lol yes. Going shopping for my feminine products like tampons and Kotex pads and other things. Wearing a mask has made it easier. Funny my wife told me awhile ago she said I’m very lucky. lol

@ agracier Here in the USA there's a lot of face to face banking. Not everyone has an ATM card. Especially there are huge numbers of “undocumented” (that's the polite term for illegal) immigrants who don't want paper trails, and have no computer skills. I needed a large amount of cash for a transaction, so I had to go in.

For the most part I never really thought about this aspect of wearing a mask. At the age of 62 I really couldn't care less about what people think about what I buy or how I live my life. There was one time though I was very grateful for wearing a mask. I have a partial denture I wear and about 6 months ago it had to be worked on and I had to do without it for 3 days. That is the one thing that would make me very self conscious and most likely I would have taken those 3 days off from work if I didn't have to wear a mask.

I wouldn't say it has for me, but I see how it could for some. I do think wearing a mask has been interesting from the standpoint that it has long been a major fetish for m to see a girl in a medically-required mask, but has never been a fetish to actually wear one. And that remains true, but it's still interesting feeling that same physical feeling of any number of pretty girls I've seen during covid, either in real life or, say, on Instagram or elsewhere. It's just extra perspective, I guess. I get to wondering if any of them has found mask wearing to be a fetish for them.

Interesting posts, had not thought about it. However, back in my heyday years of buying enema bags; the fear, embarrassment, and humiliation of being seen doing so was actually an addictive thrill that drove me to do so.

My feeling is the anonymity of the mask gives one the confidence and that in-turns allows you to be more open and shameless. I believe that sense of bravery you are asking about comes as a result of getting out and doing those things you crave to do in the open. Congrats! go for it!

I feel more confident now when wearing a mask in social circumstances. It hides half of a face I have never liked on myself … ha ha. And in the summer when wearing sunglasses it gives even more anonymity and a feeling of rakishness, a sort of devil-may-care, I am a masked bandit feeling.

I lost too many of my front teeth when 12 due to a stupid football accident. Afterwards I went through one set of prostheses after another which were always falling loose at the most inopportune circumstances. That made me extremely conscious and shy about smiling or talking or opening my mouth. So now, even though things have been fixed for a long time, the residual shyness about my teeth and mouth is far far less when wearing a mask.

And there is often something alluring and mysterious about seeing young ladies in a mask. It can look very attractive.

Especially if that is all that they are wearing.

Ahem, true enough. But that is not how things are outside … ha ha.

I do however see participants in vids wearing masks often enough. There is something attractive about it.

I myself personally do not find anything attractive or “sexy” about masks on people. I certainly don't feel any braver when I have to wear one myself either. Just my honest opinions.

I don't like wearing a mask as my glasses get steamed up. I do wear them in public places (Seattle) as it's required. I've turned to the internet for most of my shopping except for food. I can get most anything there without embarrassment and I don't have to drive – gas prices are too high - Thankyou Mr. President.

MikeNH has it right… At the age of 62 I really couldn't care less about what people think

I think it's something like the 20/40/60 rule: at 20 you worry about what everyone thinks about you, at 40 you decide you don't care what people think about you and at 60 you realize that no one was ever thinking about you to begin with.

I've become indifferent to wearing a mask. It's just a habit now and it doesn't add any feeling of anonymity.
