It isn't a big deal to wear a mask all the time. I wear one in my workshop when alone all day. I semi-regret donating all my N95 masks last spring - I still cannot get good replacements and I'm allergic to sawdust.
There is no harm in wearing a mask when you don't need to. there is harm in messing up some borderline cases. So just get used to it on your face and forget about it.

Yeah, no, every time I see specious reasoning like this it just makes me resent having to wear a muzzle more. I'll still do it when it makes sense, but I can't understand why anyone wouldn't hate doing it.

I hear this from a lot of people, so it must be real, but I honestly do not get it. If the masks fits well you forget it is even on.

Do you, like, not exercise or something? Do you walk really slowly, so you don't need a lot of air? Are your lungs just dryer than most people's? Do you never wear glasses, sun or optical?

Industrial supply shops tend to have valved disposable respirators, and cartridge respirators in stock, especially in NIOSH ratings other than N95. The Honeywell cartridge respirators are awesome for dealing with sawdust.
