I've met people who are fine with, and seem to understand the reason for wearing a mask... but then in practice it's "it makes it harder to breathe", "my glasses fog up", "I don't feel like they understand me without seeing my mouth"... well, covering your mouth while ~~spitting~~ speaking is a big part of the reason to wear a mask... but they'll wear the mask all right outside, then come inside and move it down to their chin to speak 🤦
Wait until you meet someone who removes their mask to cough.
A mask does make it harder to breath. I have ashma and I can only use certain masks and they have to be pretty fresh. Absolutely they make glasses fog especially so if you do not have certain coatings. Well and a good mask which is hard to find. For me some 3M masks fit well enough and are also designed so they do not seem to cause fogging as much. As far as understanding. Some people are very visual and less auditory. My wife is. So yes some people understand language better seeing the face. Say nothing about lip readers.
This is all true from my experience to some extent though it feels overblown at times and may well be. None of this prevents me from using a mask when needed for example.
