It might be a reference to people who wear two faces.
But first we must understand why the masks are there.
For many, masks are the protective barrier we put up to deal with an essential human insecurity: that we are not enough as we are.
The extent to which we are insecure varies, some people have intact selves, others need constant external validation; but anyone who claims they don’t have self-doubt is deceiving themselves, even if unconsciously. Knowing that we are all in the same boat helps.
Sometimes we confuse our masks with who we are. Separating the image of who we think we should be from who we want to be can be difficult, it means recognising that we did not grow up in a vacuum.
I think we all do to a point. One you wear at work, one you wear as a parent. One when you are out with friends. So long as it'a all you and who you are.
It's when you are two completely different people , then you have to worry.
