Sometimes I just don’t want to look at faces. Sometimes not even my own— I have to force myself to meet my own eyes. In public it’s either no eye contact or just a furtive glance. At work I catch myself accidentally drifting my eyes somewhere else like the floor or a random tool bag.

I know we’re all put together differently but this seems to be something a lot of people now have.

Yeah I don't like how strangers want to hold my gaze. Or the things that they think they can read from me by looking at my face. The advent of getting to wear masks in public has been great for me
