Thanks so much for sharing your struggles. At least I know I’m not crazy. What I’ve experienced is lots of loving friends and family who will simply dismiss my concerns, and say things like, “No, you don’t spit when you speak.”, etc, but I know they’re just trying to spare my feelings. I wish people could just tell me the truth. I totally understand the chipping teeth issue, I went through it and ended up having them all removed. For me now, it’s been 11 years since, and 17 years since cancer diagnosis. Funny that you should say wearing a mask gave you some sort of comfort; I felt the same.
