The instinct to conform is a powerful survival tool given to you by your ancestors. Those that did conform got to stick with the clan and the protection that it offered. Those that did not conform were outcast and had to fend for themselves. 1/x
In most cases, being an outcast was a death sentence, and those that were outcast had their genes weeded out of existence. This meant that the gene to "fit in" and "conform" propagated and was successful in surviving. 2/x
This is the reason it feels difficult to mask when no one else is. Masking solo takes true courage because its counter-instinctive to stand out in a crowd. Standing out has always been dangerous to survival. 3/x
It truly is a great achievement to have the logical mind overcome the instinctive. It takes courage to mask solo. Be brave. Overcome your urge to conform. #maskup 4/4
