I would bet that you’re mostly right….

I think it’s people that have an emotional need that they can’t admit is emotional…

“I don’t like wearing masks, it makes me sad/uncomfortable”

And admitting that shows emotions and vulnerability. Can’t be vulnerable! I also don’t want to be the only person not wearing masks because then I’ll feel guilty and other feelings. Can’t be vulnerable!!!!!!

So they have to try and make up bullshite to try and make it SEEM logical. So they invent logic to rationalize it.

But it’s stupid because it’s a valid emotion that needs to be dealt with emotionally, but they don’t want to be talked to as if they’re being emotional….
