Seems reasonable to me, so when I shop, go to work, go to the gym, or visit a doctor's office, I wear the mask. It's a nuisance (steams up my eyeglasses), and I'm looking forward to the day when I can stop, but it's not something that makes me angry.
When walking outside, I don't wear the mask, and if I encounter someone walking in the opposite direction I do a quick diagonal move to maintain a bit of distance while smiling and greeting them. (Don't want them to think I don't like them.)
