I don't get this. Even when I have new, comfortable work boots I still want to take them off at the end of the day.
But you weren't putting in 8-10 hour days with workboots on as a child, probably.
There's also nothing rewarding about wearing a mask except for the empty bullshit "social points" you get for showing the world that you care about their grandparents. Taking off my boots after a hard day is almost like a reward, a moment that I cherish every day, sometimes letting out an audible "Ahhhh, that's better". Any mask I had, if I was forced to wear one, is long gone by the time my boots are coming off.
me neither, and the child is good looking and totally outgoing too, so I was just shocked. probably has smth to do with self-image, who knows, but I think OP got that correct.
