"These Masks Are Uncomfortable"

A much as we dislike discomfort, it's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself.  Discomfort is a warning that calls for action.  When your leg is half numb, half pins-and-needles, you might think it's time to change position and get some blood circulating in that limb.  The empty sensation in your growling stomach could be saying you need food right away.  Teeth lodged in your butt cheek and blood soaking into your pants may indicate that you've sat on the cat and should get up immediately.  Shortness of breath, dizziness, mausea, lightheadedness, bacterial pneumonia, headaches, nasal lesions, impaired cognition, hypoxia, facial rash, skin breakdown, sinus congestion, lowered blood oxygen levels, chronic coughing, increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, fainting, weakened immune system, screaming at strangers, or unreasonable rage at the sight of another person's nose or lips could be telling you to quit smothering yourself.
Now don't you go all Jeremy Renner on me.  You do you.  If wearing your face naked makes you uncomfortable, cover that sucker.  If the muzzle causes you discomfort, then rip that bad boy off.
