Thought this would be a good topic to have.

I was only saying to my hairdresser this morning that I don't enjoy browsing the shops anymore because I feel like I cannot breathe with having to wear a mask, It is the way now that I cannot wait to get home.

How do you feel about browsing in the shops?
 
I hate wearing face masks, I just get too hot and start sweating all the time!!!

So i'd say it kind of puts me off browsing for long periods of time in shops, well I say long periods of browsing, I just mean browsing haha!!

I hate sweating as it is, I am always the one sweating after a work out or just a walk in hot weather!!

It does my head in!!!

Hi :wave

Was that because you were getting too hot wearing the mask?

Serously I sweat in the winter so I'm a wet mess in the summer and even worse in the summer. If I sweat I just think people can see it through my clothes and I'm sure that makes me sweat more and more! Honestly I'm like the sweatiest person ever!! I don't smell but I can easily turn a light blue shirt dark!!!

I think it is an anxiety thing the sweating and wearing the mask. When I take mine off the mask is so wet with the breathing Lol I feel sorry for anyone who has breathing problems.

:hello1 [mention]boro_boy[/mention] not because I was sweating. It's like the mask puts a different perspective on looking around. It not enjoyable anymore. I don't know how to explain it. LOL :lol

I totally understand, its like when you try and let someone in front of you, its hard to tell them as you usually you you face to say, "you go before me" but the more expressionate part of your head it covered up, you you have to resotr to aggressive hand gestures haha!! I'm sure we'llm get used to these masks!! I hate them at the moment though!
 
That's true [mention]boro_boy[/mention]

It seems most of the store or restaurant employees are used to them. I suppose if they are wearing them 8 hours a day or so, they have to get used to it. ?

I don't think I could ever get used them, I'd have to wear the face visor, or just lie and say I have asthma so I don't have to wear one! Well that's if I worked in a store anyway!

I have been asking the employees if they are used to their masks, and all of them have said YES. It really surprised me...not unless they are trying to sound positive. :sunny [mention]boro_boy[/mention]

I don't think I could get used to them. I have reusable masks and disposable maks, you know the blue and white ones. The disposable masks are better by miles!!!!
 
Yes, I like the disposable masks as well. They showed on TV that if you can blow out a candle or match with your mask, it's not protecting us well enough. [mention]boro_boy[/mention]

I am going to cook now. Nice talking with you. (O:
 
Being that I am isolating I haven't been browsing the shops. However I wouldn't mind shopping I love it mask or no mask. Wouldn't stop me at all. :)
