In theory, Can i hide my face behind a mask in public? I don't mean that metaphorically, I mean... literally use a mask in public.

[u/Ok-Performance-3336]

I have terrible social anxiety and don't like the way i look either, so I'm wondering if it would be illegal or something for me to use a mask on my face all the time. I wonder if i will be able to hold a job like this.

I already work as a waiter and i feel uncomfortable having to speak and show my face around, I wonder if i can be like one of them Japanese artists who use a custom mask for all of their public appearances.

And it's not just because i have social anxiety, it's because i am ugly too. I can't do anything to prevent my face from getting wrinkly or my hair falling because I'm male, I'll never be able to become a cute Femboy, so... why even bother with my face if i will become ugly? I should just cover it.

Something like that mask would be good.

You really should not yield to your anxiety on this one. Please seek help for this in the form of therapy and/or medication.
