It took me awhile to figure out that Just Be Yourself™ is normie speak for telling you to just relax.

Also, telling me to relax is like telling a tree to do pushups.

I agree but we know they don't really mean it.

I don't think that's totally accurate. I think it's more that they don't know how a mask works, and they think that you're deliberately being fake to fit in.

If masking wasn't a thing, it would probably be decent advice. Problem is 99% of us have no idea we're masking until way later, if ever.
