I feel like everyone already knows the term mask fishing. Its basically someone "purposely" wearing masks to hide what they really look like in order to gain something or benefit themselves in some way. I've encountered this term last year due to it being a trend on different social media platforms and as a person who always wear mask all the time even with the Covid-19 pandemic gone, I thought maybe I am mask fishing. However in my case, there is really no benefit and I am not actually wearing the mask to fool people into thinking I'm pretty it's more of "wearing the mask because I am so insecure" kind of thing. Although, I do take my mask off when I eat outside but one major thing that I ALWAYS notice is the people's reactions. People act so kind when I have my mask on, even opening the doors for me or smiling at me or greeting me and I am reluctant to admit it but most of these people who act this way are men. However when I take my mask off, their disappointed looks, ughhh, if I could only melt. Its as if I am a hideous creature on Earth. So yes, I AM NOW MORE INSECURE, THANK YOU! But it also provided me an insight that based on society's standards of beauty, I AM UGLY, and yes it hurts but it is the truth. No matter how I convince myself and encourage myself that I am pretty, it just doesn't really help. But its okay, I have already accepted that fact, the one thing I cannot expect is the way people act or tell me as if I am mask fishing when no, I AM NOT! Is it really my fault that they have already have an expected the structure of my face? Am I the one to blame for them thinking that I am pretty? NO! They are the ones creating that stupid fantasies in their heads so why should I be the one here suffering? I am just honestly so tired of all this nonsense of a situation......
