I don't know.

As I've gotten older my patience for putting on an obvious mask has worn thin. I've gotten grumpy.

Some of that is more directly mental health related, I'm sure, and while that's certainly a mask being dropped, I kind of feel like there are a lot of them, insidiously buried in my psyche.

I liked the post from @E_Briannica but even then, I'm not even sure what "alone" means anymore.

I've always got low-level paranoia...inside, outside, closed empty room...doesn't matter.

Behaving how I behave around my pets is probably as close as I get, and I'm certain I'm still carrying a mask, even if they don't give a shit.

The pending move to France should be a real boon for finding myself and, maybe, finding out how to answer your question.
