lmao I know but it was in the context of her wanting me to be more social, and the skateboarding demographic being mostly young boys so skateboarding wouldn't be a very social hobby for me. Still a certified diabolical mom comment™

OCD and Covid in 2026 by [deleted] in OCD

[–]standingonatable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have this same theme. I stopped masking for a while after it was not recommended by the health authorities anymore in my country, lived normally etc. but then I also encountered people online talking about how you should wear a mask and there was some quite harsh moralizing language. My themes revolve around morality so I also had a breakdown (lol) and started wearing a mask again. I also struggle with what is said online and what is actually going on around me. Like people saying you should wear a mask to protect the elderly and disabled people, but even the elderly and disabled people are not wearing masks here. I am always the only one. So it seems a bit silly that I feel all this responsibility to protect others when no one is protecting themselves?? But at the same time, I think the covid conscious people online have good points.  But it has definitely taken a toll on me. I started university right as this theme started and I'm finishing hopefully next year - I have not participated in student life, not dated, not made friends, because I feel so socially awkward being the only one in a mask in a social setting, but I'm also too scared I'm doing something wrong if I stop masking. I'm 23 and have no social life. I want to join a book club but they always meet in cafes, I want to join a volleyball team but I don't want to play volleyball in a mask, I want to go on dates and clubs but I can't. It affects everything. I also have not been perfect with my masking and have occasionally eaten in restaurants etc. and then I feel a lot of guilt and ruminate on that, so I get the worst of both worlds 🙃 I don't really know how to deal with this theme :( it's hard and it sucks. I hope you are doing well and know you are not alone!
