My sister is autistic and while she ofc hated quarantine, she really liked wearing a mask bc it made her feel safer in public and less like she had to pretend to be neurotypical
I'm autistic, and I still wear mine at work when I leave my desk. I have crappy lungs and cannot afford to get it a third time, but also I love literally masking rather than pasting fake expressions on my face.
@@katedustinrzonca9992sure you are. The amount of people who claim to be "autistic" or even the funnier bullshit of "oh I'm on the spectrum". But yes suuuuure ..but yeah it just shows the masks are bullshit and are being used as a excuse to wear them. Forced to wear a face? No you arnt just don't go somewhere then if you have to be a certain way that you oh so hate.
The way that woman asked her to wait for the next elevator, is a great example of a small portoin of people that treated medical staff during the epidemic. People may not have seen it, but it happened and it is still felt.
I’m just a labrat, not a frontline worker, but I actually had people stop me and say thanks or ask for advice when I was wearing my scrubs. I think the terrible people are greatly outnumbered by the good ones.
@@laurenopferman7278nope the ignorance continues until today, I had tonsillectomy and I am wearing my mask to avoid getting sick. These pricks started coughing when they saw me wearing the mask and called me a pussy. Is just funny to me because it causes zero inconvenience to them, I’m just protecting myself. I guess when you are ignorant and disrespectful nothing makes sense.
Shes being a massive bitch bc shes neurotypical and has never even had a single synapse fire that told her "what is that person feeling" when looking at a face until now. When thats my entire day every day for the rest of my freaking life. My WHOLE LIFE will be me overworking my brain to try and make sure i understand people who refuse to try and understand me and it SUCKS. I despise people who treat autistic people like monsters or aliens simply bc they dont want to ASK US WHAT WE MEAN BY THE THING WE SAID. WE'RE HAPPY TO EXPLAIN, BUT NO ONE WILL ALLOW US. I hate the society we built around such a narrow view of wellness and conditional acceptance.
On the flip side she could have offered the lift to the doctor first Everyone knew how swarmed and overworked they were during that time If i was that scared, I would have gotten off the elevator and offered that doctor to get on first to let her get wherever she needed to go first
@toomucheverythingatonce4859 entitled & self centered? The lady literally asking a DOCTOR to take the next elevator instead of idk wearing a fucking mask so they can both go where they need to. Not only that, you're not entitled to an elevator without people in it because it's a public space. Entitled is not wearing a mask, then treating people like that.
@@MicahMcD-x5yIt must be exhausting researching down the back of the internet to find deliberate disinformation and lies to support your 'theory' all day
Him being happy isnt about the sickness he just is enjoying the expressions being hidden. Being upset isnt going to chsnge outcomes. Its best to find happiness in the worst times
Shawn was just excited that for once people can understand how he’s feeling, it’s tough to read expressions when you’re autistic, but I understand how that went over their heads
But eventually the masks will come off and the rest of society will be able to go back to reading social cues and tonality/inflections of voice communication... and he will still have the same issues.
@@Editz_MeeI realize it’s a TV show. But it doesn’t take Freud to see that individual was a self absorbed typical Karen who couldn’t be bothered with a mask (lipstick and hairdo you know) but expects everyone else to go out of their way to accommodate her whims and self aggrandizement.
@LeigonX because during the height of covid you weren't allowed to go into a hospital without a mask. That is a weird question. The hospitals were overwhelmed & so were the doctors and nurses. The masks added a layer of protection.
The pandemic was horrible for people, but the measures taken were fantastic for my autistic self. So many events I didn't have to attend. No need to give in to the hug-terrorists. Literally masking instead of pasting on fake expressions. I am still a little mad that I was made for quarantining but had to work onsite other than when I had covid.
It was the first month of being at home that I found out that something was finally Oke with me. I started the process of testing and mental help. Turns out I have adhd and Autism. At 30 I finally got the diagnosis
The pandemic had some advantages in that regard, we're probably the ones who had the least trouble with those rules. It was so freeing to for once not have to spend all that energy on behaving like society expects us to.
I hate her comment too. But in the story she was in the bad stage bcause lost her mom and guy she loved in tragic way. And then dealing with pandemic. I think both her and shaun are annoying here. If i was in the room, -i can understand his excitement-, but still annoyed with shaun comment because feeling exhausted, confused and scared at that time.
@@issythekitty13 That in no way justifies the way I treat Shown Above all, knowing that he is neurodivergent and he is just excited because everyone can understand something from his perspective.
@@MisterJai no, it's not two wrongs because she IS disgusting for doing something like that, also this is a fictional character, not a real person. I'm sure you thought you were doing something but you really weren't.. just makes you sound like an idiot. what she did was wrong and was disgusting, it's not "making a right" it's calling out disgusting behavior thanks.
I totally feel for Sean though, I love being able to hide behind the mask. I don’t know if my mouth is hanging open or if I was yawning, or I got bored and started biting my lips, nobody would know 😂
Man these episodes definitely get to me. Personally I had to have surgery right when Covid started to break out here, December 2019. You could feel the energy of the hospital. The sick and lonely people, the scared people(I was one of those, not being able to have anyone by my side before surgery), and all the people dying without their loved ones by their side. I’m glad things have gotten a Little better, but we’re definitely gonna take a long time to recover if we ever do.
I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer , June 2019 & it got crazy after that. I had several surgeries where I was dropped off at the front door by myself !! Then someone was called to pick me up a few days later!!!! One of the surgeries, a freak snow storm happened, when it was time to go home. I was wheeled outside and left to wait for family to pick me up!! I didn't have a sweater or coat, they didn't even leave me a blanket!! But they made sure I had a mask on! After another surgery, ready to go home, the nurse threw a fit because I wouldn't wear a mask!! I was tested 3 days before surgery for COVID!! I was tested again for COVID when I was dropped off!! Both times negative, then later in the day, right before surgery, I was tested again!!! I told the nurse that I had been tested 3 times & all were negative, what was she worried about?????? I also went through chemo on my own!! COVID robbed me of 2 years I will never get back. The worst part, I will never get those 2 years back!!! And now they're admitting the mask & social distancing weren't any good in preventing COVID!!!! I had over 25 family and friends die in the past few years since COVID started!!! My mom, sister, brother, 2 brother in laws, & many friends. We weren't allowed to visit my Downs sister, in the hospital because she had COVID, she died alone!!! The others at least could get limited phone calls. I am so very lucky to be alive!! The plannedemic's effects on health care killed more than COVID did!!!!!
If you're so cocky you think you won't get sick if you don't wear a mask the why so scared of a doctor? The fact that people like this were everywhere during the pandemic is so disgusting
To be fair people just gave up. Winter 2023 was the 2nd biggest c0vid wave since the panini started but nobody cared. The beginning of 2024, 2000 people d1ed per week for 3 months straight. Its easy to hate on people who were antimasks then, how about right now?
Yes yes yes I am not in the medical sector but I educated myself on masks and I was wearing my mask all the time Knows for a scientific fact that it does not limit your breathing Only for people to ask sheepishly Is that little piece of cloth going really to protect you
During Corona one of the things I hated the most was the fact that so many people did not even know how to wear the masks and a lot of people didn't even want to bother, but here the police crackdown on anyone they caught not wearing a mask and that was very helpful, I still carry masks even though I am told that I am probably non susceptible at all to Corona something to do with my jeans... But that didn't stop me from getting vaccinated even though it was dangerous for me to do so because I could not not be an example to a lot of younger people who were scared of getting the shot. I could really go all Jewish mother on them and embarrassed the hell out of them and say well if an old lady who is as many problems as I have can get vaccinated and I haven't grown funny-looking ears and fangs and a tail then you can be pretty certain that the vaccine isn't going to do anything to you... What are you afraid of, and it did work even if it made me sick to get the shot I only found out later I shouldn't have had the shot because I have certain medical issues that make me less susceptible to Corona but to the vaccine it can make me violently ill... By the way it did because I have certain medical issues that say that I'm not even supposed to have the shot, sometimes you have to take the bullet in order to save other people who are too frightened to do things, the soft people. At one point it got so bad here the medical staff at the hospitals did not have enough masks for themselves much less for their patients who could use it and for those who work there and I had to supply from my own stash which is the top of the line in the math department the n45 I think they're calledand give a couple of the doctors who didn't have any masks some mass in fact I left the whole packet of them and they asked but if how is it that you have and we don't and I said well where I live they overstocked and people went a little nuts and started buying up everything so I made sure to get these packets before they were all gone just in case people like you would need them. You're welcome. Then I walked away. She's a medical professional who is doing the job of saving lives during a time of crisis she should not have had to wait for the elevator she should have walked right in the lady if she didn't like it could get the hell out of there and she wasn't even wearing a mask here she would have been written up and given a ticket.
I’m sorry but what issues did you have that made you less susceptible to covid? This is the first time I’ve heard of something that would give an advantage against Covid.
@@Faiyaz1500 blood type and They think it’s something in my jeans. But they’ve never bothered to get back to me and tell me what. although people who are from a certain area in the Middle East or descendent from a certain area in the Middle East seem to also carry an immunity to it because the Middle Eastern version of corona gives him a semi immunity to corona I don’t know if I believe them, but considering how many times they have.”lost” my gene samples you know the blood for analysis and or so they claim I have to wonder… I do know that I had a reaction to the vaccine a severe reaction that is usually only found in juvenile diabetics under the age of 16. I am nowhere near 16 I could have a 16 year-old grandchild. I’m not 16 they’ve left me, knowing that I can not be inoculated anymore that I should never have been inoculated, but they haven’t told me why I can’t will never get corona. That doesn’t mean I act like an ahole and don’t wear a mask or gloves now we don’t but back then I was always the one with mask. Alcohol spray still carry the alcohol spray because these days people are just they’ve gone back to their old icky selves and I like keeping my hands clean. this will say that I edited it. I didn’t edit. I just wanted to add something. I can’t edit. I use voice to text because my hands don’t work properly. Technically, I am an incomplete quadriplegic and they don’t have any answers to how I’m able to walk either or what my body some of the things, my body has done to correct the problem, they call it a miracle. I don’t know if I would call it that miracle isn’t just walking. It is being able to walk and function without pain and that’s something I have never had to be without pain like I said I’ve never gotten a straight answer from them the people who are supposed to know medical professionals are supposed to know, why I seem to have an immunity to it and why my body reacts violently to the inoculations. One speculation is that my body is rejecting the inoculation which is a possibility, considering it an inoculation with RNA and that’s not too similar from what happens to people who are undergoing bone marrow transplant sometimes they have a reaction to the bone marrow. They literally rejected. The doctor asked me why I put myself through that and I said when you have young people who have the option of getting inoculated and giving this country 100% inoculation rate so that corona doesn’t have foothold and you know full well that they tend to look at you as whether it’s their grandmother or their mother it doesn’t really matter, but they look at you as if broken old lady can have it and she doesn’t grow fangs a tail and ears then it can’t be too bad and believe me I was sick for days because of the inoculation I have to be the inoculation site became swollen and inflamed, and they had to mark that all down that apparently my body rejected the inoculation, but I did get the special stamp on my identification card so that I could sit at café or what not you couldn’t even sit at a café of Corona or go out unless you’ve been inoculated that is how it was, and then I talk to these people and put on a big smile and try to pretend that everything was OK when I wanted to throw up among other things so that these young whippersnappers who are super healthy and you know they’re not broken down like Me would go and get themselves inoculated so the country would have a nearly hundred percent inoculation rate and it worked. They got themselves inoculated and they looked at me as well if she that broke old lady, had it done and she seems OK then we can. Maybe that was a whole lot of people but it was enough. The doctor told me after that reaction on the first shot that I should not have the boosters and I told her well now they’re using a different type of inoculation. It’s a different company that’s doing the boosters. Maybe I’ll have a different reaction like I said Dr was not keen still had the booster had a reaction almost twice as severe as the first one and that’s when the doctor came to the conclusion that I probably have an immunity to it and I went they never told me what the answer was only that I seen to have an immunity they think it might be caused by the faulty gene, but they’re not certain and they wanted Meat three times to give DNA. I’m only gave them twice when you tell somebody that you can’t find the results because they can’t find your blood. It has disappeared. Once you can believe that there’s a screw up somewhere somebody lost it. Twice you get suspicious and when the same thing happens to the blood test results to one of your kids, they can’t find it. You know there’s something very, very wrong. So I hope this kind of answers what you asked they’re doing research that much. I know they were asking for people who either were caretakers of people who had corona and didn’t seem to get it as well as people who had corona because they’re trying to do some sort of analysis of the two I have no idea what they found out but I do know that they were doing research here and I do know that my blood test specifically my blood samples disappeared and not just mine but one of my kids as well.
I have severe social anxiety so whenever I went out I didn't have to worry about what people thought of me or what their expressions were. It made me feel slightly more comfortable to be around others.
I’m a pharmacy tech, worked in a pharmacy and different testing facilities during covid. I have ASD and ADHD, so it was wonderful that people weren’t telling me to smile ( while being stressed af) or hitting on me while being concentrated at work. Also helped me concentrate better, because I was not wasting energy to understand facial expressions. Also sorry for any mistakes, english isn’t my native language.
In middle school (circa 2015-16 ish) I was severely depressed and self harmed consistently. Because of this, I wore long sleeves and sweatshirts, no matter the weather. When I started getting better and my scars started healing, I switched to t-shirts. I remember the anxiety I felt wearing something that exposed my arms, it was so uncomfortable, so scary. I felt this same way when mask mandates were lifted. I’d been wearing a mask so routinely, it had become so normal, so comfortable, that going out without it for the first time felt like a couldn’t breathe. I will never understand why some people were so against them
I am so very glad you survived & are getting better. The masks helped you to hide, while masks made it next to impossible for me to breathe comfortably! Masks should have been a personal choice!! I hated masks, social distancing, no gatherings!! I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. My life & treatment were put on hold. I also had 2 large tumors on my neck. I couldn't breathe!!!!! Masks made me feel like I was suffocating! It was horrible! I am so lucky to be alive because I couldn't get proper treatment. Masks have been proven to be ineffective. Masks should have been a personal choice. Many of my 25 family & friends might still be alive if this plannedemic was handled in a professional manner!
I liked wearing a mask because I didn’t have to worry about accidentally giving people a mean look when i zoned out or got distracted or when i made weird faces to myself
"Can you take the next elevator please?" "Lady I don't have the time or energy for your bullshit. Put on a mask, or YOU can take the next elevator, either way I'm getting on this one."
Having actually worked in the height of the pandemic (12 hour shifts, 4 days per week) in the mass testing centres, the amount of times I had to tell people to wear their masks (patients specifically) was a joke… Worked there from Jan 2021 - March 2022 (was set up again 2 months later in a much smaller capacity to keep an eye on healthcare staff in the country and was up and running for an additional 18 months before closing again)… EDIT: Although I will admit at work I was a nightmare for one of my seniors when it came to health and safety… when during times of high sample turnover, I was sometimes (maybe 15% of the time) asked to help remove them from the bags for processing (my job was to just run the samples but sometimes we got more than we could process). Given the fact I couldn’t see *hit through the Goggles when removing samples from bags (scratched to *hit meaning barcode reading proved difficult/impossible and wearing them IMO made my job 3x harder/more dangerous (samples codes on bag and tube had to be the same, otherwise someone could get another patient’s results), I just kept not wearing them hoping no-one would notice. I got a reputation for not doing proper H&S… 😐
After hearing your story, I find your choice of avatar very appropriate. You may have heard of the alegory that teachers have done to convey the importance of hurtful things to children, where the teacher grabs a piece of paper, crumples it up, and tries to spread it out again, the message being no matter how hard you try, you cannot undo the damage that was done. I find your choice of channel character very meaningful, in the sense that while damaging things have happened in your past, you have done your best to straighten yourself out again. It's always a continuous process, but the important part to remember is that it's not your fault your paper was crumbled, and that sometimes you may need help to straighten out again. I'm proud of you to be where you are after experiencing such things, we never stop our journeys of healing. You've done well for yourself so far, good luck out there.
Shaun not understanding that most emotions are actually shown in their eyes feels very accurate lol It's a lot easier to tell how someone feels based on their mouth smile/frown, but the eyes are were most emotion is expressed and it's more complex
They both could’ve definitely expressed themselves better but that’s the complexity of human relationships we’re all built with differences that don’t guarantee harmony without effort.
If the unmasked lady felt so entitled to ask people not to take the elevator because SHE refused to follow the rules then take the stairs so other people like Dr's can help other sick people faster
I mean, i feel comfortable when people's faces are covered. I feel better when my own is (though masks in summer was smothering, I'm not good with heat to start with). Shaun is happy not dealing with things he's uncomfortable dealing with, not death. Same as me and lockdown, the complete lack of people, empty stores, silence on the streets, was _heaven._
I can read peoples facial expressions/ emotions through just their eyes. The whole mask thing wasn't an issue for me during covid. Most people can read emotion through just eyes...
I understand with medical stuff nowadays, in most cases, it’s hit or miss, conditions make a life close to no chance of being saved to an easy save regardless of how deadly of the thing one may have, with little in-between, but that’s exactly why they need to learn to fight this exhaustion. If it influences them this much on a regular level, what’s to say this can’t make them more likely to have a mistake? Also, when it comes to those problems that can’t be solved immediately, if you feel like your job is solely to solve problems instead of easing them when it’s not yet possible to cure, your just going to be sitting there, letting yourself be drained, when that energy is important to being safe yourself, and for your patients. It may not be necessary, but it can be an important skill to have with many practicalities in and out the hospital, endure.
Listen, Covid was fucking hard on a lot of people. My work said masks and face shields are to be worn. It was exhausting and hard and scary. But i was happy for people who were happy about masks. Not needing to mask (in the neuro spicy way), not needing to read social cues, not needing to smile ALL the time when we don't feel like it... Mind you... Neil DeMarco brought up a point i didn't think of. And it made me try (still trying) to learn ASL. Be happy for people who are happy, strive to do better for those who are struggling.
When are all of these hospital shows good to do a whole show on how they were completely wrong about covid and and how the American medical association is completely controlled by the pharmaceutical industry?
The one thing I loved about having to wear a mask was that I felt it was an equaliser. I can’t read facial expressions, so when there are none and people have to communicate with words more often I could understand others better. Nobody had the advantage, autistic or neurotypical.
The people saying “i can’t tell if somebody’s happy” really can’t read the eyes? The actors are pretty good in these scenes. Eyes showing full exhaustion and the actor of Shaun showing the happiness.
I’m neurodivergent and yes I absolutely knew what Shaun meant. Of course I hated Covid, quarantine, and lockdowns but I felt like I didn’t have to pretend in public with my mask on. I didn’t have to smile every time someone looked at me, or mask who I am. It felt safe and comfortable. I don’t know how to describe it…masks helped me unmask. 😅
If I were in that situation I would be like sorry I’m happy because I have a hard time telling peoples feelings and now this is an opportunity for people to See what it’s like to be autistic and it makes me happy
I wear masks when I'm sick or going to severely crowded areas/hospitals. When I was working as a cashier I had people come up with an aditude saying I didn't need to wear a mask because the pandemic was over. Its funny when that cockiness disappears when you tell them as you're losing your voice, that you're sick.
I have a coworker who has a script of "2020? Throw it away!" And a lot of others they relate to the pandemic. Even when he says this with a huge smile on his face (because we are following the script with him) he knows that it was a bad time and people died.
Me and most my coworkers are on the spectrum and were talking just after the mask enforcement was lifted. We all agreed that we enjoyed not having to express feelings visually except via eyebrows. Added bonus of during the winter, it helped keep my face warm and didn't really fog my glasses if put on right.
i remember the covid days. it was a scary days for us healthcare workers in the work field but also outside the work. when people see us walking in our uniform they're avoiding us. some healthcare workers even received bad words and even some was sprayed acid in their faces🤧
Honestly, I relate to Shaun here! I being Autistic enjoyed the Masks~ `Cause it put everyone into the same experience I have had to deal with all my life. Meanwhile, for me, it was the same issues as normal, so I was perfectly fine!
"I'm not going to wear a mask but I'm going to be a hypocrite and ask you to take the next elevator when I'm not taking steps to protect anyone around me". Ugh I remember the worst moments of covid. As an immunocompromised person with many chronic illnesses including an anxiety disorder...it was absolute hell 😵💫. I do not miss that.
Give Shaun a damn break. Just because you’re all miserable doesn’t mean he should be too. I suffer from crippling social anxiety often bordering on agoraphobia. When quarantine happened I finally felt free for the first time in my life. I didn’t have to make excuses to avoid going outside because no one expected me to. For the first time in my life there wasn’t any pressure for ME to be anxious and uncomfortable ALL THE TIME. It was practically exhilarating. My depression virtually disappeared altogether. It was probably the best year and a half of my life. I’m sorry others suffered due to the pandemic but for me it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to finally feel fucking normal. Of course neurotypical people wouldn’t fucking understand.
I felt the same way! It was more exciting trying to guess someones mood based on everything but their expression. Even trying to see if you could tell whether they were faking the look in their eyes to make you think they were smiling 😂
i’m autistic. i obviously wasn’t happy that there was a worldwide pandemic. i wasn’t happy about people getting sick and/or dying. i hated how many people were being hurt by ignorant and selfish COVID deniers, anti-vaxxers, and anti-maskers. the amount of deadly, anti-science misinformation being spread was stressful and infuriating. the pandemic changed “social rules” for a while, though. i was happy about the social rules changing. hiding your face became a positive, considerate thing to do. staying inside, socially distancing, and minimizing interactions with others became a good thing. the “normal” social rules were essentially flipped on their head. it felt like, for the first time in my life, i was benefitting from social norms, instead of suffering from them. i was praised for being cautious of crowded public places and encouraged to limit my face to face interactions with others. my behaviors, which i’d previously been reprimanded for my whole life, were no longer something others disliked me for. and wearing a mask made me feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. i didn’t have to constantly police my expressions. thanks to masks, i could, for lack of a better word, unmask. now, i’m back to being disliked for how i behave and look in public. wearing a mask is no longer the norm, so wearing one draws extra, unwanted attention (at least where i live). i’ve begun policing my expressions and stressing out over others’ expressions again.
A lot of people emote with their eyes just as much as the rest of their face so for me it didn't make reading faces any harder, but it made reading my face very difficult because I apparently do not emote with my eyes in a way that other people can see. I feel that I emote with my eyes, I can feel the movement of the muscles, but you can't fucking tell. My eyebrows are also pretty sparse, and during the pandemic I had bangs over them most of the time so basically no one could tell whether I was serious or not. To be fair I have this problem even without a mask, but it was much worse.
I hated her opinion there. Shaun is not celebrating the bad thing that are happening. To see the positive in a dire situation especially from a place of innocent will never bother me.
Nah this shit reminds of how a kid ran away from my grandma and how people parted the hallways for her at the doctors. She’s Asian. Although she said she felt like a Queen when they did that so thankfully it wasn’t a bad experience for her 😅
The same think happened to me But in my case, the woman said she had asthma and couldn’t breath when wearing a mask. So instead she made people who want to use the elevator take the stairs instead
I’m sorry I loved my mask 😅 It really makes you focus on other things like movement and environment and unless you made eye with some, ppl really didn’t bother you. And no one ever told me to smile.
On one hand it was nice not feeling obligated to make my face form certain expressions, but I also have a hard time hearing individual people in a noisy environment, so I couldn’t really talk to people at school when we finally went back.
I loved wearing masks for that reason. I worked in food service and customer services and it felt like i didnt haave to try sohard to keep up a friendly smile when talking to people. That being said it made me super self conscious when masks werent the norm anymore lol
I have ASD and I kind of reacted the same way. I detest looking people in the face, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. It was a lot easier during COVID due to the masks.
And then we found out, couple years later, the masks didn't do what they claimed. And nurses had so much free time on their hands that they choreographed dances for tiltok.
The lady in the elevator was keeping the 6 feet rule. I don't see a problem with her request. And that mask couldn't keep you from getting sick and more than a chain link fence can keep out a mosquito.
I'm autistic and do you know how nice it was to not get interrogated about why I couldn't tell how someone was feeling? I hated the reason. Every part of me hated it. But I was just happy to feel normal for once. I was treated like a normal person. Not some weirdo. I'm not a weirdo just autistic. There's nothing wrong with that.
My sister is autistic and while she ofc hated quarantine, she really liked wearing a mask bc it made her feel safer in public and less like she had to pretend to be neurotypical
I'm autistic, and I still wear mine at work when I leave my desk. I have crappy lungs and cannot afford to get it a third time, but also I love literally masking rather than pasting fake expressions on my face.

They nailed that part of autism
The way that woman asked her to wait for the next elevator, is a great example of a small portoin of people that treated medical staff during the epidemic. People may not have seen it, but it happened and it is still felt.
I feel like the 2 sides haven't stopped treating each other like this ever since.
I’m just a labrat, not a frontline worker, but I actually had people stop me and say thanks or ask for advice when I was wearing my scrubs. I think the terrible people are greatly outnumbered by the good ones.

Yuppp, I hung around 2 nurses from 2019-2021. Very close quarters and I didn’t get COVID once, I did get COVID in 2022 from my boyfriend though.
He’s just excited about the expression part specifically not that people are sick
Exactly, nobody can usually read him, but now its an equal playing field. Nobody can assume anything about anyone. They need to ask
Kinda odd she reached for that complaint

Probably didn't because the shed be stuck in the elevator with the doctor breathing germs 😒
Thats not how Karen's think.
fear? that's entitlement and being self centered.
@toomucheverythingatonce4859 entitled & self centered? The lady literally asking a DOCTOR to take the next elevator instead of idk wearing a fucking mask so they can both go where they need to. Not only that, you're not entitled to an elevator without people in it because it's a public space. Entitled is not wearing a mask, then treating people like that.
@@hippychick420Uhm they were saying about the woman not the doctor
Shaun was just excited that he didn’t have to try and read people.
"Could you please--?"
"Wear your damn mask."
That's not attitude, that's pure exhaustion talking when don't feel like hearing a Karen's bullshit. 😂
it must be exhausting having to push for tyrannical lies all day.
@@MicahMcD-x5ytyrannical lies of.. medicine?
@@abba9265 partially, you also have the economic, pharmaceutical, political, and all the unconstitutional mandates and "laws"
They don't work particles still get threw them
@@MicahMcD-x5yIt must be exhausting researching down the back of the internet to find deliberate disinformation and lies to support your 'theory' all day
Him being happy isnt about the sickness he just is enjoying the expressions being hidden. Being upset isnt going to chsnge outcomes. Its best to find happiness in the worst times
Shawn was just excited that for once people can understand how he’s feeling, it’s tough to read expressions when you’re autistic, but I understand how that went over their heads
But eventually the masks will come off and the rest of society will be able to go back to reading social cues and tonality/inflections of voice communication... and he will still have the same issues.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Went right over there heads that now they are getting a tiny bit of not being able to read people
She didn't have the hairstyle but that's definitely a 100% Karen
No she had the virus I think because she probably didn’t want the doctors to get the virus cuz they would get it and they will need to help people
@@Editz_MeeThat's why she should have been wearing a mask! That's what they're for.
they are getting good at disguising themselves...
@@Editz_Meethen she should've offered to get out and let the doctor take the elevator.
@@Editz_MeeI realize it’s a TV show. But it doesn’t take Freud to see that individual was a self absorbed typical Karen who couldn’t be bothered with a mask (lipstick and hairdo you know) but expects everyone else to go out of their way to accommodate her whims and self aggrandizement.
Maskless karen would have been ejected from the hospital as a visitor.
I think that's their apartment building.
Why
@@lovinavargas-carriedo2698 still, don't expect others to make you comfortable when you're not even wearing a mask.
@LeigonX because during the height of covid you weren't allowed to go into a hospital without a mask. That is a weird question. The hospitals were overwhelmed & so were the doctors and nurses. The masks added a layer of protection.
@@hippychick420They added no protection
The pandemic was horrible for people, but the measures taken were fantastic for my autistic self. So many events I didn't have to attend. No need to give in to the hug-terrorists. Literally masking instead of pasting on fake expressions. I am still a little mad that I was made for quarantining but had to work onsite other than when I had covid.
It was the first month of being at home that I found out that something was finally Oke with me. I started the process of testing and mental help. Turns out I have adhd and Autism. At 30 I finally got the diagnosis
my mom and I actually loved it
There wasn't anyone around at all (I was working overnights) and it was just peaceful in a weird way
The pandemic had some advantages in that regard, we're probably the ones who had the least trouble with those rules.
It was so freeing to for once not have to spend all that energy on behaving like society expects us to.
imagine being called disgusting for being optimistic and realizing a positive side of a terrible situation. her pessimism is disgusting
I hate her comment too. But in the story she was in the bad stage bcause lost her mom and guy she loved in tragic way. And then dealing with pandemic. I think both her and shaun are annoying here. If i was in the room, -i can understand his excitement-, but still annoyed with shaun comment because feeling exhausted, confused and scared at that time.
@@issythekitty13 that doesn't justify it in any way.

@@MisterJai no, it's not two wrongs because she IS disgusting for doing something like that, also this is a fictional character, not a real person. I'm sure you thought you were doing something but you really weren't.. just makes you sound like an idiot. what she did was wrong and was disgusting, it's not "making a right" it's calling out disgusting behavior thanks.
You can tell peoples expressions from their EYES TOO. I have VERY expressive eyebrows. 😂
😂😂😂
Same people always told me they could tell i smiled because of my eyes lol
I know but for autistic people it's even worse to have to read those and we usually feel very uncomfortable when we have to make eye contact.
Same!
@dionmoviesclips what's the name of the show?
Wear your damn mask 😷
no thanks! you wear yours and be safe!
I totally feel for Sean though, I love being able to hide behind the mask. I don’t know if my mouth is hanging open or if I was yawning, or I got bored and started biting my lips, nobody would know 😂
Man these episodes definitely get to me. Personally I had to have surgery right when Covid started to break out here, December 2019. You could feel the energy of the hospital. The sick and lonely people, the scared people(I was one of those, not being able to have anyone by my side before surgery), and all the people dying without their loved ones by their side. I’m glad things have gotten a Little better, but we’re definitely gonna take a long time to recover if we ever do.
I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer , June 2019 & it got crazy after that. I had several surgeries where I was dropped off at the front door by myself !! Then someone was called to pick me up a few days later!!!! One of the surgeries, a freak snow storm happened, when it was time to go home. I was wheeled outside and left to wait for family to pick me up!! I didn't have a sweater or coat, they didn't even leave me a blanket!! But they made sure I had a mask on! After another surgery, ready to go home, the nurse threw a fit because I wouldn't wear a mask!! I was tested 3 days before surgery for COVID!! I was tested again for COVID when I was dropped off!! Both times negative, then later in the day, right before surgery, I was tested again!!! I told the nurse that I had been tested 3 times & all were negative, what was she worried about?????? I also went through chemo on my own!! COVID robbed me of 2 years I will never get back. The worst part, I will never get those 2 years back!!! And now they're admitting the mask & social distancing weren't any good in preventing COVID!!!! I had over 25 family and friends die in the past few years since COVID started!!! My mom, sister, brother, 2 brother in laws, & many friends. We weren't allowed to visit my Downs sister, in the hospital because she had COVID, she died alone!!! The others at least could get limited phone calls. I am so very lucky to be alive!! The plannedemic's effects on health care killed more than COVID did!!!!!
If you're so cocky you think you won't get sick if you don't wear a mask the why so scared of a doctor? The fact that people like this were everywhere during the pandemic is so disgusting
To be fair people just gave up. Winter 2023 was the 2nd biggest c0vid wave since the panini started but nobody cared. The beginning of 2024, 2000 people d1ed per week for 3 months straight. Its easy to hate on people who were antimasks then, how about right now?
Yes yes yes
I am not in the medical sector but I educated myself on masks and I was wearing my mask all the time
Knows for a scientific fact that it does not limit your breathing
Only for people to ask sheepishly
Is that little piece of cloth going really to protect you
Shaun was happy because everybody had to experience something that he does all the time, so they can understand better his life and reactions
“Wear your damn mask.”
I felt that 😂
Thanks to everyone that helped us during the pandemic, thank you for your services 🙏🏼❤️💯✨👏❤️🙏🏼
Our pleasure!
During Corona one of the things I hated the most was the fact that so many people did not even know how to wear the masks and a lot of people didn't even want to bother, but here the police crackdown on anyone they caught not wearing a mask and that was very helpful, I still carry masks even though I am told that I am probably non susceptible at all to Corona something to do with my jeans... But that didn't stop me from getting vaccinated even though it was dangerous for me to do so because I could not not be an example to a lot of younger people who were scared of getting the shot. I could really go all Jewish mother on them and embarrassed the hell out of them and say well if an old lady who is as many problems as I have can get vaccinated and I haven't grown funny-looking ears and fangs and a tail then you can be pretty certain that the vaccine isn't going to do anything to you... What are you afraid of, and it did work even if it made me sick to get the shot I only found out later I shouldn't have had the shot because I have certain medical issues that make me less susceptible to Corona but to the vaccine it can make me violently ill... By the way it did because I have certain medical issues that say that I'm not even supposed to have the shot, sometimes you have to take the bullet in order to save other people who are too frightened to do things, the soft people. At one point it got so bad here the medical staff at the hospitals did not have enough masks for themselves much less for their patients who could use it and for those who work there and I had to supply from my own stash which is the top of the line in the math department the n45 I think they're calledand give a couple of the doctors who didn't have any masks some mass in fact I left the whole packet of them and they asked but if how is it that you have and we don't and I said well where I live they overstocked and people went a little nuts and started buying up everything so I made sure to get these packets before they were all gone just in case people like you would need them. You're welcome. Then I walked away.
She's a medical professional who is doing the job of saving lives during a time of crisis she should not have had to wait for the elevator she should have walked right in the lady if she didn't like it could get the hell out of there and she wasn't even wearing a mask here she would have been written up and given a ticket.
I’m sorry but what issues did you have that made you less susceptible to covid? This is the first time I’ve heard of something that would give an advantage against Covid.
@@Faiyaz1500 blood type and They think it’s something in my jeans. But they’ve never bothered to get back to me and tell me what. although people who are from a certain area in the Middle East or descendent from a certain area in the Middle East seem to also carry an immunity to it because the Middle Eastern version of corona gives him a semi immunity to corona I don’t know if I believe them, but considering how many times they have.”lost” my gene samples you know the blood for analysis and or so they claim I have to wonder… I do know that I had a reaction to the vaccine a severe reaction that is usually only found in juvenile diabetics under the age of 16. I am nowhere near 16 I could have a 16 year-old grandchild. I’m not 16 they’ve left me, knowing that I can not be inoculated anymore that I should never have been inoculated, but they haven’t told me why I can’t will never get corona. That doesn’t mean I act like an ahole and don’t wear a mask or gloves now we don’t but back then I was always the one with mask. Alcohol spray still carry the alcohol spray because these days people are just they’ve gone back to their old icky selves and I like keeping my hands clean. this will say that I edited it. I didn’t edit. I just wanted to add something. I can’t edit. I use voice to text because my hands don’t work properly. Technically, I am an incomplete quadriplegic and they don’t have any answers to how I’m able to walk either or what my body some of the things, my body has done to correct the problem, they call it a miracle. I don’t know if I would call it that miracle isn’t just walking. It is being able to walk and function without pain and that’s something I have never had to be without pain like I said I’ve never gotten a straight answer from them the people who are supposed to know medical professionals are supposed to know, why I seem to have an immunity to it and why my body reacts violently to the inoculations. One speculation is that my body is rejecting the inoculation which is a possibility, considering it an inoculation with RNA and that’s not too similar from what happens to people who are undergoing bone marrow transplant sometimes they have a reaction to the bone marrow. They literally rejected. The doctor asked me why I put myself through that and I said when you have young people who have the option of getting inoculated and giving this country 100% inoculation rate so that corona doesn’t have foothold and you know full well that they tend to look at you as whether it’s their grandmother or their mother it doesn’t really matter, but they look at you as if broken old lady can have it and she doesn’t grow fangs a tail and ears then it can’t be too bad and believe me I was sick for days because of the inoculation I have to be the inoculation site became swollen and inflamed, and they had to mark that all down that apparently my body rejected the inoculation, but I did get the special stamp on my identification card so that I could sit at café or what not you couldn’t even sit at a café of Corona or go out unless you’ve been inoculated that is how it was, and then I talk to these people and put on a big smile and try to pretend that everything was OK when I wanted to throw up among other things so that these young whippersnappers who are super healthy and you know they’re not broken down like Me would go and get themselves inoculated so the country would have a nearly hundred percent inoculation rate and it worked. They got themselves inoculated and they looked at me as well if she that broke old lady, had it done and she seems OK then we can. Maybe that was a whole lot of people but it was enough. The doctor told me after that reaction on the first shot that I should not have the boosters and I told her well now they’re using a different type of inoculation. It’s a different company that’s doing the boosters. Maybe I’ll have a different reaction like I said Dr was not keen still had the booster had a reaction almost twice as severe as the first one and that’s when the doctor came to the conclusion that I probably have an immunity to it and I went they never told me what the answer was only that I seen to have an immunity they think it might be caused by the faulty gene, but they’re not certain and they wanted Meat three times to give DNA. I’m only gave them twice when you tell somebody that you can’t find the results because they can’t find your blood. It has disappeared. Once you can believe that there’s a screw up somewhere somebody lost it. Twice you get suspicious and when the same thing happens to the blood test results to one of your kids, they can’t find it. You know there’s something very, very wrong.
So I hope this kind of answers what you asked they’re doing research that much. I know they were asking for people who either were caretakers of people who had corona and didn’t seem to get it as well as people who had corona because they’re trying to do some sort of analysis of the two I have no idea what they found out but I do know that they were doing research here and I do know that my blood test specifically my blood samples disappeared and not just mine but one of my kids as well.
Your a nut!
Reddit would eat you alive for this
This nailed part of how it was.
Also, we liked that people couldn't tell how we felt. We could make "you're stupid" faces without people knowing. 😂
I have severe social anxiety so whenever I went out I didn't have to worry about what people thought of me or what their expressions were. It made me feel slightly more comfortable to be around others.
I’m a pharmacy tech, worked in a pharmacy and different testing facilities during covid. I have ASD and ADHD, so it was wonderful that people weren’t telling me to smile ( while being stressed af) or hitting on me while being concentrated at work. Also helped me concentrate better, because I was not wasting energy to understand facial expressions.
Also sorry for any mistakes, english isn’t my native language.
You work in a hospital?'
No lady i cosplay as a nurse.
In middle school (circa 2015-16 ish) I was severely depressed and self harmed consistently. Because of this, I wore long sleeves and sweatshirts, no matter the weather. When I started getting better and my scars started healing, I switched to t-shirts. I remember the anxiety I felt wearing something that exposed my arms, it was so uncomfortable, so scary. I felt this same way when mask mandates were lifted. I’d been wearing a mask so routinely, it had become so normal, so comfortable, that going out without it for the first time felt like a couldn’t breathe. I will never understand why some people were so against them
I am so very glad you survived & are getting better. The masks helped you to hide, while masks made it next to impossible for me to breathe comfortably! Masks should have been a personal choice!! I hated masks, social distancing, no gatherings!! I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. My life & treatment were put on hold. I also had 2 large tumors on my neck. I couldn't breathe!!!!! Masks made me feel like I was suffocating! It was horrible! I am so lucky to be alive because I couldn't get proper treatment. Masks have been proven to be ineffective. Masks should have been a personal choice. Many of my 25 family & friends might still be alive if this plannedemic was handled in a professional manner!
I liked wearing a mask because I didn’t have to worry about accidentally giving people a mean look when i zoned out or got distracted or when i made weird faces to myself
Ironically cut the best part where the lady in the elevator was like “ thank you for your service btw “ 😂
"Can you take the next elevator please?"
"Lady I don't have the time or energy for your bullshit. Put on a mask, or YOU can take the next elevator, either way I'm getting on this one."
"Wear your damn mask." I love it.
Having actually worked in the height of the pandemic (12 hour shifts, 4 days per week) in the mass testing centres, the amount of times I had to tell people to wear their masks (patients specifically) was a joke…
Worked there from Jan 2021 - March 2022 (was set up again 2 months later in a much smaller capacity to keep an eye on healthcare staff in the country and was up and running for an additional 18 months before closing again)…
EDIT:
Although I will admit at work I was a nightmare for one of my seniors when it came to health and safety… when during times of high sample turnover, I was sometimes (maybe 15% of the time) asked to help remove them from the bags for processing (my job was to just run the samples but sometimes we got more than we could process). Given the fact I couldn’t see *hit through the Goggles when removing samples from bags (scratched to *hit meaning barcode reading proved difficult/impossible and wearing them IMO made my job 3x harder/more dangerous (samples codes on bag and tube had to be the same, otherwise someone could get another patient’s results), I just kept not wearing them hoping no-one would notice. I got a reputation for not doing proper H&S… 😐
what’s the name of this movie or show?
It's called the good doctor. I haven't seen it, but I've seen so many clips, I've learned a few of the major characters.
The Good Doctor. It's an average 3rd rate Netflix opinion piece.
After hearing your story, I find your choice of avatar very appropriate.
You may have heard of the alegory that teachers have done to convey the importance of hurtful things to children, where the teacher grabs a piece of paper, crumples it up, and tries to spread it out again, the message being no matter how hard you try, you cannot undo the damage that was done.
I find your choice of channel character very meaningful, in the sense that while damaging things have happened in your past, you have done your best to straighten yourself out again. It's always a continuous process, but the important part to remember is that it's not your fault your paper was crumbled, and that sometimes you may need help to straighten out again.
I'm proud of you to be where you are after experiencing such things, we never stop our journeys of healing. You've done well for yourself so far, good luck out there.
“wear your damn mask.”
is so funny to me
The fact that she wouldn't let her get on the elevator even though she's not wearing a mask
Shaun not understanding that most emotions are actually shown in their eyes feels very accurate lol
It's a lot easier to tell how someone feels based on their mouth smile/frown, but the eyes are were most emotion is expressed and it's more complex
They both could’ve definitely expressed themselves better but that’s the complexity of human relationships we’re all built with differences that don’t guarantee harmony without effort.
If the unmasked lady felt so entitled to ask people not to take the elevator because SHE refused to follow the rules then take the stairs so other people like Dr's can help other sick people faster
I mean, i feel comfortable when people's faces are covered. I feel better when my own is (though masks in summer was smothering, I'm not good with heat to start with).
Shaun is happy not dealing with things he's uncomfortable dealing with, not death. Same as me and lockdown, the complete lack of people, empty stores, silence on the streets, was _heaven._
I was happy because i was able to be like mother this is what i feel and feel everyday and now i dont feel alone
I can read peoples facial expressions/ emotions through just their eyes. The whole mask thing wasn't an issue for me during covid. Most people can read emotion through just eyes...
I understand with medical stuff nowadays, in most cases, it’s hit or miss, conditions make a life close to no chance of being saved to an easy save regardless of how deadly of the thing one may have, with little in-between, but that’s exactly why they need to learn to fight this exhaustion.
If it influences them this much on a regular level, what’s to say this can’t make them more likely to have a mistake? Also, when it comes to those problems that can’t be solved immediately, if you feel like your job is solely to solve problems instead of easing them when it’s not yet possible to cure, your just going to be sitting there, letting yourself be drained, when that energy is important to being safe yourself, and for your patients.
It may not be necessary, but it can be an important skill to have with many practicalities in and out the hospital, endure.
Listen, Covid was fucking hard on a lot of people. My work said masks and face shields are to be worn. It was exhausting and hard and scary. But i was happy for people who were happy about masks. Not needing to mask (in the neuro spicy way), not needing to read social cues, not needing to smile ALL the time when we don't feel like it...
Mind you... Neil DeMarco brought up a point i didn't think of. And it made me try (still trying) to learn ASL.
Be happy for people who are happy, strive to do better for those who are struggling.
Love how she shut the karen second time .
Preventative measures, that's all doctors do. They stop death for another day/week/month/year/decade but they lose in the end.
i am lovin this series!!!
When are all of these hospital shows good to do a whole show on how they were completely wrong about covid and and how the American medical association is completely controlled by the pharmaceutical industry?
The one thing I loved about having to wear a mask was that I felt it was an equaliser. I can’t read facial expressions, so when there are none and people have to communicate with words more often I could understand others better. Nobody had the advantage, autistic or neurotypical.
While he felt joy in the situation, it made me terrified because I couldn’t see peoples expressions
The people saying “i can’t tell if somebody’s happy” really can’t read the eyes? The actors are pretty good in these scenes. Eyes showing full exhaustion and the actor of Shaun showing the happiness.
I’m neurodivergent and yes I absolutely knew what Shaun meant. Of course I hated Covid, quarantine, and lockdowns but I felt like I didn’t have to pretend in public with my mask on. I didn’t have to smile every time someone looked at me, or mask who I am. It felt safe and comfortable. I don’t know how to describe it…masks helped me unmask. 😅
Dude i cant read people either- SAME 😂
If I were in that situation I would be like sorry I’m happy because I have a hard time telling peoples feelings and now this is an opportunity for people to See what it’s like to be autistic and it makes me happy
Loved wearing a mask! (every introvert ever)
I wear masks when I'm sick or going to severely crowded areas/hospitals. When I was working as a cashier I had people come up with an aditude saying I didn't need to wear a mask because the pandemic was over. Its funny when that cockiness disappears when you tell them as you're losing your voice, that you're sick.
I have a coworker who has a script of "2020? Throw it away!" And a lot of others they relate to the pandemic. Even when he says this with a huge smile on his face (because we are following the script with him) he knows that it was a bad time and people died.
Me and most my coworkers are on the spectrum and were talking just after the mask enforcement was lifted. We all agreed that we enjoyed not having to express feelings visually except via eyebrows. Added bonus of during the winter, it helped keep my face warm and didn't really fog my glasses if put on right.
i remember the covid days. it was a scary days for us healthcare workers in the work field but also outside the work. when people see us walking in our uniform they're avoiding us. some healthcare workers even received bad words and even some was sprayed acid in their faces🤧
Dude... I'm looking into nursing but what the actual fuck..
Honestly, I relate to Shaun here!
I being Autistic enjoyed the Masks~ `Cause it put everyone into the same experience I have had to deal with all my life.
Meanwhile, for me, it was the same issues as normal, so I was perfectly fine!
Same here 😅 I’m glad someone is having similar experiences as me ❤
"I'm not going to wear a mask but I'm going to be a hypocrite and ask you to take the next elevator when I'm not taking steps to protect anyone around me". Ugh I remember the worst moments of covid. As an immunocompromised person with many chronic illnesses including an anxiety disorder...it was absolute hell 😵💫. I do not miss that.
I absolutely loved when she said “Where your damn mask”
This show is called the good doctor for anyone who is wondering ❤
Give Shaun a damn break. Just because you’re all miserable doesn’t mean he should be too. I suffer from crippling social anxiety often bordering on agoraphobia. When quarantine happened I finally felt free for the first time in my life. I didn’t have to make excuses to avoid going outside because no one expected me to. For the first time in my life there wasn’t any pressure for ME to be anxious and uncomfortable ALL THE TIME. It was practically exhilarating. My depression virtually disappeared altogether. It was probably the best year and a half of my life. I’m sorry others suffered due to the pandemic but for me it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to finally feel fucking normal. Of course neurotypical people wouldn’t fucking understand.
I felt the same way! It was more exciting trying to guess someones mood based on everything but their expression. Even trying to see if you could tell whether they were faking the look in their eyes to make you think they were smiling 😂
I loved not having to worry about what my face was doing in public
Movie name?
I think he was trying to show them what every day is like for him.
I also enjoyed not having to force a smile
i’m autistic. i obviously wasn’t happy that there was a worldwide pandemic. i wasn’t happy about people getting sick and/or dying. i hated how many people were being hurt by ignorant and selfish COVID deniers, anti-vaxxers, and anti-maskers. the amount of deadly, anti-science misinformation being spread was stressful and infuriating.
the pandemic changed “social rules” for a while, though. i was happy about the social rules changing. hiding your face became a positive, considerate thing to do. staying inside, socially distancing, and minimizing interactions with others became a good thing. the “normal” social rules were essentially flipped on their head. it felt like, for the first time in my life, i was benefitting from social norms, instead of suffering from them. i was praised for being cautious of crowded public places and encouraged to limit my face to face interactions with others. my behaviors, which i’d previously been reprimanded for my whole life, were no longer something others disliked me for.
and wearing a mask made me feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. i didn’t have to constantly police my expressions. thanks to masks, i could, for lack of a better word, unmask.
now, i’m back to being disliked for how i behave and look in public. wearing a mask is no longer the norm, so wearing one draws extra, unwanted attention (at least where i live). i’ve begun policing my expressions and stressing out over others’ expressions again.
whats the name of this movie
I understand him quite well. I had the sane feeling.
A lot of people emote with their eyes just as much as the rest of their face so for me it didn't make reading faces any harder, but it made reading my face very difficult because I apparently do not emote with my eyes in a way that other people can see. I feel that I emote with my eyes, I can feel the movement of the muscles, but you can't fucking tell. My eyebrows are also pretty sparse, and during the pandemic I had bangs over them most of the time so basically no one could tell whether I was serious or not. To be fair I have this problem even without a mask, but it was much worse.
I hated her opinion there. Shaun is not celebrating the bad thing that are happening. To see the positive in a dire situation especially from a place of innocent will never bother me.
"you work in the hospital?"
"Yes"
WTF YOU THINK THESE DAMN SCRUBS ARE FOR 😂
Why did they killed of Melendez. It was a strong story line he showed how a superior should act.
Nah this shit reminds of how a kid ran away from my grandma and how people parted the hallways for her at the doctors. She’s Asian. Although she said she felt like a Queen when they did that so thankfully it wasn’t a bad experience for her 😅
You can still read people’s emotions through their eyes and facial movements of the upper half of the face.
That person that went off on Sean was totally out of line! We have horrible days and then we have extremely rewarding days in the Hospital!
The same think happened to me
But in my case, the woman said she had asthma and couldn’t breath when wearing a mask. So instead she made people who want to use the elevator take the stairs instead
Love the last part!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I’m autistic too and the mask was something I didn’t mind. But still hated some things about covid
People should use words to describe how they're feeling more often
I hated the pandemic but loved the masks. Honestly, should have normalized masks more afterwards. Now I barely see anyone wearing them anymore
My best friend is autistic and she told me the mask part of lockdown was her absolute favorite.
I'm autistic but I can understand and empathise for both sides of the situation. I don't think the woman's pessimism is unwarrented.
I’m sorry I loved my mask 😅 It really makes you focus on other things like movement and environment and unless you made eye with some, ppl really didn’t bother you. And no one ever told me to smile.
On one hand it was nice not feeling obligated to make my face form certain expressions, but I also have a hard time hearing individual people in a noisy environment, so I couldn’t really talk to people at school when we finally went back.
I loved wearing masks for that reason. I worked in food service and customer services and it felt like i didnt haave to try sohard to keep up a friendly smile when talking to people. That being said it made me super self conscious when masks werent the norm anymore lol
Daamn, Dr Lim On Some "Wear Your Damn Mask" 😂😂😂
I have ASD and I kind of reacted the same way.
I detest looking people in the face, it makes me feel very uncomfortable.
It was a lot easier during COVID due to the masks.
Same here 😅 I’m glad someone is having similar experiences as me ❤
Yo chill, he's trying his best he can.
And then we found out, couple years later, the masks didn't do what they claimed.
And nurses had so much free time on their hands that they choreographed dances for tiltok.
I worked in a hospital during the pandemic and honestly I kinda felt the same way as Claire. It was extremely exhausting for everyone involved!😒😒😒
its so funny that the rude lady looks almost exactly like a woman i know who is the sweetest woman i have ever met
I actually kinda loved the mask-wearing life too, it didn't feel like I had to mask as much and I could stim invisibly under the mask 😅
The lady in the elevator was keeping the 6 feet rule. I don't see a problem with her request. And that mask couldn't keep you from getting sick and more than a chain link fence can keep out a mosquito.
I enjoyed that doctor tell him that Karen what she can do.
I'm autistic and do you know how nice it was to not get interrogated about why I couldn't tell how someone was feeling? I hated the reason. Every part of me hated it. But I was just happy to feel normal for once. I was treated like a normal person. Not some weirdo. I'm not a weirdo just autistic. There's nothing wrong with that.
Same here 😅 I’m glad someone is having similar experiences as me ❤
Name pls
One good thing about Covid for me: I discovered I like masks, they protect against dust, dirt, and even smells if used correctly.
