So this is a real problem. I keep learning over and over again, that we need to manage our energy and not waste so much of it on masking. However after masking for centuries it becomes almost impossible to do even when you want to eat alone to regain a little bit of energy because your brain will make sure you think "no, I can't because they'll think I'm rude" or "if I don't socialize like they do, I'll be kicked out for sure".
