I'm not even sure what underwear has to do with anything... Though, I do know people who go commando...

"I can't wear a mask because it struggles to cover my large nose"

Apply argument to underwear

It's a penis joke

Now having been explained, the joke is not funny

Oh. You just let the penis slip out. Easier to grab that way, anyway...

This guy really said something this dumb.

Not to mention he made a joke about lethal cases of police brutality, the kind of shit that would get most people suspended.

Underwear? It's usually an excuse to not wear something else >_>

Do you have a picture of what this looks like? Because that sort of sounds like what I've been doing. But mine still constantly fog up...

I can't seem to find one doing a search. Just put your mask as high on your face as you can and then place your glasses about 1/4 inch down from the top of your mask, on the outside, thereby creating a seal of sorts. Your glasses should only be touching the mask and not your nose skin. This works just fine for me but I have a habit of wearing my glasses lower on my nose than most people do.

Pretty much, just go full librarian with your glasses and you'll at least be a bit better off, if not actually fine.

Then that means theres literally nothing I can do as I dont control my subconscious. So, the end result is I still cant breath well while wearing the masks...

Eh, yes and no. You won't be able to just say "I don't actually feel this way" and stop having troubles, but you may be able to train yourself out of that response by consciously making yourself breathe normally whenever you notice you're breathing heavily and reminding yourself that there's no reason to feel like you aren't getting enough air. It's not perfect, and it'll take time, but you should eventually get more comfortable with it.

Yeah. That sounds like what I was doing to go into stores. And I think it was still fogging up my glasses. I tried to put them on the mask, and push them down as far as I could while still being able to see out of them with my eyes. I can try again on Monday, but I'm pretty sure I was doing that...

Hasn't worked for the past 8+ months, so I don't see it working anytime soon... I'll just keep hoping we can live without the mask soo so I can go back to breathing...
