Masks in shops

UsrUnknown

I’m anxious about the masks being compulsory to wear in shops. I know their is exemptions and I was given a laminated card from my care team. I’m anxious about being stopped though and potentially questioned as I’m not very good in social situations. What if they don’t allow me entry even after seeing the card? I can’t bear the feeling of wearing something on my face. I’ve never wear hoods or hats either because I just don’t like how it feels. It irritates me and makes me feel very uncomfortable. I don’t like it when I can’t see people’s face either as it’s already difficult reading people and guessing their intentions without their face being covered on top of that.

Does anybody relate? Any advice?


Thanks.

  • In Lidls I walked in without a mask, did my shopping paid and left.  I was not asked and did not receive any comments.  The only others without masks were two girls who I take it were under 11.  Basically, no one was in the least bothered or confrontational although I did feel as if I was 'standing out'.  But that is a feeling I'm sure will go away as time passes.
