Steven Taylor, a professor and clinical psychologist at UBC, explains ‘restart anxiety’ as a form of anticipatory anxiety, where a person is anxious about an upcoming stressful event and may imagine worst-case scenarios. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
“People will be going into new ways of interacting with one another, and people will be doing things that they were previously told were dangerous,” Taylor said, like getting on a crowded bus or taking off their masks indoors. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
One long-time Toronto server and bartender began having “server dreams” in April as he realized the city was inching towards reopening. Resembling nightmares, they involve him serving overflowing tables with customers who are maskless and coughing. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/… 
People get to choose their own experience based on their level of comfort, Taylor said, and it’s acceptable to keep masks on in crowded spaces, for example, if that makes someone feel more safe.
