Thanks for this. I'm in a similar position, I think. I've mostly masked and avoided much activity outside my own home (the latter mostly out of necessity rather than active choice!) since getting Covid/LC but I've definitely given in to what I feel is essentially peer ptessure on a number of occasions out of desperation to feel normal again. And then felt guilty afterwards and when, 5 days later I've still felt OK, had a rush of relief that I played roulette and didn't lose. I'm intending to at least be more conscientious about masking for social events now (I do for anything I do indoors alone- grocery shopping, doctor appointment etc) to try to make a point to others that I'm still taking Covid seriously. I have 2 young kids who go to school every day and a husband who, although not reckless about being in a lot of different indoor social spaces, does not generally see the need to mask in shops or the workplace. Our conversations about Covid quickly highlight that we have quite different perceptions of risk and I have often made the choice to stop pushing my point of view to avoid an acrimonious atmosphere at home that I worry will affect my kids. I feel quite trapped by the situation at times and at others I wilfully put my head in the sand about it because I don't want to deal with the anxiety and stress which I know will have a negative impact on my day to day wellbeing and ability to function.
