Masks

I'm a socially awkward and timid girl. I constantly fear the judgments of others and anticipate all possible negative outcomes before social events, such as embarrassment, humiliation, or rejection. Because of my social withdrawal, I believe hiding behind a new face or body can provide a shield for me to conceal the less favorable aspects of myself. I believe that, despite my shy and retiring side, I can adopt a different persona to integrate into human society with the help of a mask. It may sound contradictory, but instead of misrepresenting my true self, a mask can enable me to freely express my authentic self in social situations. Masking my identity isn't a surrender to social anxiety or a cowardly act of escapism—it's a means of self-preservation and protection from the harsh judgments of others. To me, it leads to self-empowerment rather than low self-esteem.

Having experienced racism myself, I understand how dehumanizing and repugnant it can be for a person always to be perceived as a member of a specific social category—whether it's a racial or ethnic group or nationality—rather than as an individual. Sometimes, a mask serves as a tool to break free from biases, allowing people to see me for who I truly am beyond any preconceived notions or stereotypes. By presenting a different exterior or putting on a mask, I can compel others to recognize my individuality.
