I have barely seen any masks in the Benelux area since summer 2022. Haven't worn one myself since spring 2022 I think.

I'll gladly wear one if asked to, but the last time I did so out of my own volition was probably a few months back.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'd rather not deal with angry anti-vaxxers in public, who are seemingly still mad that some people want to wear masks occasionally in order to protect others.

If I'm indoors with people other than immediate family, I'm wearing a mask.

I wore one when the air quality was bad from the forest fires, otherwise I don't. Don't have a problem putting one on again if Covid or some other virus got bad again. But since it is summer here, wearing a mask makes me sweat to death

Depends on where I am but generally I do. In the countryside, almost nobody bothers wearing a mask anymore.

I wear them at the doctor because they require it still. I pretty much don't wear one anywhere else. I wore one on the plane on the flight to my destination to not get sick and ruin the trip but I didn't wear one on the way home because I wasn't as concerned at ruining a week of work. (This was in early 2023.) I will probably wear one in crowded areas in the week before DragonCon (a big convention in Atlanta) to not get sick and miss it.

Due to my job as a public university employee I am still required to wear a mask to set an example to the general public. The exceptions are when exercising or when alone (no one else within 2 m radius).

I’ve been wearing them consistently since 2020 but I’ve recently moved to Oregon where cases have been some of the lowest levels in the country and I’ve been thinking I’d like to stop soon

I bring it around with me everywhere I go, just in case, and I always wear it at the doctor's office or if I'm sick. Mostly it just stays in my pocket nowadays though.

Not saying these are great. But these two always stuck with me:

“Love is the freedom to leave and the choice to stay”

“There is no talent, only work”.

I probably should now. I didn't need to much for the first couple of years of the pandemic because I basically just stayed home and only put one on when I was going to be around people.

But the issue is I can't ever seem to get a good seal and between breathing into my eyes and wearing glasses it just becomes way harder to deal with and now I'm vaccinated I don't feel as much of a thing for it.

I'll probably wear one more during cold season as I use to get one once or twice every year before the pandemic.

That said, there are still places I will wear it, like the doctor's office.

My kid still wears a mask obsessively. Her face is unevenly tanned. She wants to wear it for bike rides and literally everything aside from being at home.

I'm up to date on my COVID vaccine so I only wear a mask if I'm sick

I still wear musk most of the times.

Never, don't see the point and invited company you won't like. Who cares if people disagree with you? It's fun to be provocative lol.
