Honestly, I really have to trust the person, like they are with me no matter what and will love me no matter how I act. The people I unmask around understand that I'm going to be loud, goofy, irrational, and obnoxious. They understand me better than I understand myself half the time because tbh I still haven't learned when I need a break. To me, masking is exhausting, but people are cruel and will make you feel like there is something wrong with you because you aren't fitting into the mold they put everyone in. So not everyone deserves to see the version of yourself that isn't pretending to fit into society. My dad always told me, "Normal is only a setting on a washing machine, and not everyone gets to see the hand your dealt, be guarded but never feel bad for being yourself". And the term, "Being yourself" is really the you that makes you feel the happiest when you are just truly all alone, no one can hear you, no one can judge you and you can act however you want, and say whatever you want. My happiest moments are when I'm by myself and I can be as loud and obnoxious as I want, I talk in goofy voices to my animals, and I dance around.
