What facial cues do you miss with masked interactions?


I can’t read faces anymore. I did not realize how much I relied on ‘face reading’ not just to make quick character judgements but also for lie detection, trust level factoring and just overall evaluation.

I don’t know if I am alone in this or if others are also struggling with masked interactions? Especially for first meetings.

I am generally not meeting anyone face to face except for family members with masks on so it hasn't been an issue.

I'd say my years of experience dating women with resting bitch face prepared me for this.

But kidding aside imo you're right, masks kinda covers a lot of social cues and our reduced face to face time with other people (i guess) kinda makes us a bit more rusty when it comes to picking up other non-verbal social cues
