【No. 0751】Mask Dependence
Jan 7, 2017 11:03
Nowadays in Japan, the number of mask dependence increases.
They are always wearing dummy masks -- it is not hygienic reasons such as a prevention of a cold.
For example, the actual reasons are something like the following:
・To hide the face with no makeup
・To hide complexes about their faces
・To avoid talking with people
・To avoid people's gaze
・To avoid showing emotions
According to a survey, especially young women tend to be mask dependence.
I think that there is a social problem contributing to fact that the number of mask dependence increases for psychological reasons.

マスク依存症
最近日本では、マスク依存症の人が増えているようです。
彼らは、風邪の予防など衛生上の理由とは異なる目的で、常にマスクを着用しています。
例えば、以下のような目的です。
・化粧をしていないことや、髭を剃っていないことを隠すため
・顔のコンプレックスを隠すため
・誰とも話したくないため
・人の視線を感じにくくするため
・感情を読み取られないようにするため
特に若い女性ほど、マスク依存症の人が多い傾向にあるようです。
心理的な理由で常にマスクをつける人が増えている背景には、社会的な問題が隠れている気がします。

Oh, sorry. I might use Japanese English.
When Japanese people say "コンプレックス" (complex), it usually means "an inferiority complex" or "a sense of inferiority".
If someone said "私は顔にコンプレックスがある" (I have a sense of inferiority about my face), it would imply that he/her doesn't like his/her own face.

It's interesting. Actually, we sometimes wear mask to keep warm and moisture in winter. However, no doubt there is no need for that in Singapore.
