Mask smiling

Wearing masks might help me improve communication skills. Not that I am lacking them, but when in many situations I would normally not say anything but smile to show that I am a friendly person and not unhappy to see others. Now the mask covers my face but I keep smiling and people don’t see. That makes me talk to the neighbors at the elevator, tell them that I like their dog(otherwise I look at the dog with a smile), and ask random people how they are.

There is, however, a great advantage of wearing a mask which I would like to bring to the attention- it allows to laugh at weirdos. All my emotions are always reflected on my face, and I cannot hold laughter.
