No it doesn't. When others see people wearing a mask now, they think your either paranoid, virtue signalling, or have an health condition and therefore hava a higher threat model.
Don't feel embarred wearing a mask. Do what you think is best for yourself, but I can tell you it does not make people "brave and to join the movement".
Yep, the world is overrun with selfish entitled assholes that don't care about anyone but themselves and their immediate family.
Or there is a minority of people who lack any meaning in their lives and when the pandemic came along, they made it their life mission to end the virus for good. Turned the pandemic into a religion of sorts.
My advice buddy is to let this all go and enjoy life. 2022 and 2023 have been great years for me and it can be for you as well. Get outside more if you do not get outside much, stop reading and watching the news and just live. Leave this "We must stop COVID" belief behind. Just like the flu, COVID is here to stay.
"stop reading" is exactly the sort of advice I'd expect to get from an antivaxxer brainlet. Maybe you should start reading.
The news is not good for mental health, all it is these days is just high quality fear porn. Its no better than Info Wars, lets be honest.
