I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said

I guess I missed this one. I'm a bit OCD but I love finding work arounds.

It took me awhile to figure out that Just Be Yourself™ is normie speak for telling you to just relax.

Also, telling me to relax is like telling a tree to do pushups.

I agree but we know they don't really mean it.

I don't think that's totally accurate. I think it's more that they don't know how a mask works, and they think that you're deliberately being fake to fit in.

If masking wasn't a thing, it would probably be decent advice. Problem is 99% of us have no idea we're masking until way later, if ever.

With the cracks around the hole it looks like the circle just forced himself through or made the hole
