I wear a mask whenever I have to go out, mostly for groceries and other necessities. I don’t mind wearing masks and don’t find them too uncomfortable to wear. I actually currently wear two mask (one disposable mask and a cloth mask over that). I will continue wearing masks even after I’m fully vaccinated. No I don’t usually put a mask on my character in new horizons, but I believe I did once or twice in the beginning of the pandemic when traveling to other people’s island.
Your stance on wearing masks?

Ok but like wearing a mask when visiting other people's island is such a super cute concept, I love it. <3

gonna watch it burn! ♡
I've been wearing them before they became mandatory. In Japan, if I recall correctly, they wear masks whenever they feel ill or unwell. My parents always thought it was weird that I did this, but then when they became mandatory, I started to wear them whenever I go out... Sometimes even at family gatherings or small parties with close friends. I think masks are pretty cool, you can get creative with them now. They have all sorts of designs and you can even make your own!
That's a shame. My dad and my brother uses these for face masks.
This is becuase it is being found that many neck gaiters are ineffective at stopping the spread of Covid-19.
I figured this was the reason. They’re still allowed in most stores from what I’ve seen. It’s when you get into attending events and traveling when they are said to not be approved face masks.

l only wear my at public places where there's people and when its required. If l'm at a place with other people and l don't have to wear it because we're all far apart then l wouldn't wear it. Also when l'm outside then l don't wear it when l'm not in a crowd.
I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this way, but regardless of if someone wears a mask or not, it doesn’t bother me one bit. If someone wants to walk around with a mask, who am I to judge them? If someone doesn’t want to wear a mask, I’m not going to treat them like they’re less of a person because of it. I just feel it’s wrong to force opinions on other people. And I know that someone is going to say that it’s not an opinion if it puts someone’s health at risk, but that’s not really the point. This whole thing has pretty much turned into an “I’m right, you’re wrong debate” on both sides and it’s dividing everyone.
I feel the same way. Besides, I feel that getting vaccinated is far more important than wearing masks in public. Far more important.
I'm going to disagree here because it absolutely bothers me when I see somebody not wearing a mask. The fact is that by choosing not to wear a mask the person is deciding that their personal comfort is more important than the health of those around them or that they're smarter than the literal scientists and doctors telling us wearing a mask is needed. That is not the kind of person I want to interact with or be friends with because they're making a dangerous decision on the basis of their own comfort and that bothers me greatly. You can't ignore the fact that not wearing a mask is putting other people's health at risk because that's the entire reason why it's problematic to not wear one. By not wearing one they're putting their own health at risk, other peoples health at risk, and if they or somebody else gets sick as a result of their personal decision to not wear a mask they're now affecting our already overwhelmed healthcare system.
If wearing a mask was a completely personal choice more in line with say, choosing to dye your hair fun colours, getting a bunch of tattoos, or having tons of piercings, - ie: something that only effects you then I would agree. There are tons of people who negatively judge another person on the basis of their fashion, hair style, piercings, tattoos, etc. and that's wrong of them. The person isn't hurting anybody by expressing themselves that way (so long as their tattoos or clothes aren't offensive obviously) and judging them negatively for that is wrong, in my opinion. But wearing a mask or dyeing your hair pink are nowhere near the same thing.
This may sound weird I actually like wearing a mask. I have really bad social anxiety and it makes me feel like people can't see me when I'm wearing one which makes me feel less anxious, like I'm hidden, so I feel more confident. So I wear one whenever I leave my apartment. It's also required to wear one when in the common areas (anywhere outside your apartment) of my apartment complex so I have a bunch of them right next to my door on the counter and always grab one to put on even when I'm just checking my mail downstairs
Yes, I agree. When I’m working at a place that requires them, it honestly really helped me understand who I actually was. My teeth weren’t the greatest (I’ll be honest, they were terrible) and I felt that had everything to do with my social anxiety. It turns out that I’m actually not shy and I do engage with people when I’m not worried about being judged for my teeth. I’m in the process of getting implants and I’m glad this whole thing helped me realize that I am actually comfortable around groups of people and I will engage in conversation. I think it also helped a lot of people cope with their anxieties.
Yes, I wear a mask because the government in my country is inefficient and ignorant, plus our hospitals are at around 100% capacity with lacking medical supplies. The predicted vaccination for the regular people in my country is around 2023. We are having a health crisis.
It's absolutely inexcusable for anyone here to not wear their masks. (Unless some medical condition prevents them from wearing their masks, but people who can wear their masks should. No excuses. Personal preference here is selfish and just putting everyone else at risk.)

I think wearing a mask is really important. If the rules are to wear one, just wear it.
Where I’m from has been like a safe place during this pandemic so wearing masks has never been a rule. We have no active cases and haven’t had any pretty much all year so no one wears masks here. The only place that masks are required are some medical practices and I’m happy to wear one there.
If I travel out of state where masks are mandatory I would wear one. It fogs my glasses but I can deal with that if it means protecting myself.

I know this comment is a bit old, but I just now saw it and I just want to say what a great point you have.
Vaccines are the key factor to ending this pandemic. Face masks and social may reduce the spread, but it isn't enough to to cause a significant decline in cases. This past year has taught us that.
I know these vaccines are new, and I know that there have been reports of (rare) problems, and I know that a lot of people are concerned about the side effects. I completely understand that. We all are. But we cannot let that deter us from doing what is right. Like you said, the sooner we all get vaccinated, the sooner these restrictions will end and the sooner non-essential things will open back up (thus returning to normality).
It's easy for us young and healthy people to say "I am young, I have a strong immune system, and I have no underlying conditions that put me at risk for severe symptoms." -- but these people need to remember that this isn't just about themselves. It's about protecting others as well, it's about slowing the spread a considerable amount, it's about coming out of this pandemic.
I am not gonna sit here and try to FORCE anyone to get it, but I do want you guys to at least understand the importance of vaccination.
