@ABScientist I hear you, and I'm sorry you've encountered such refusal.
I have drastically reduced my socializing. I do have people who are okay with being outside when the weather is nice, but winter can last more than half the year here, so we have a brief window.
On the other hand, I tend to have friends in other locations with whom I can only meet up with via video chat anyway, so it's already built into the rhythm of our friendship. It's not the same, but I am grateful for these long-distance relationships. Some of them don't even know that I am a regular masker otherwise.
