I intentionally didn't write anything when posting this because I just wanted to post without comment and see how people like it.

It’s not a matter of appearance. It’s a matter of respect. As it turns out, being open-minded, generous, and kind to people who respect you tends to lead to good things with people who actually treat you as an equal.

I've said many times people should all try to find their authentic selves and drop masks. It's healthier, it lets you cut out the people who don't like the authentic you and focus your attention and time on the people who do. This in turn, wastes less time, because you're not actively swimming against a social tide you're not thriving in.

She tried to do that, wear a mask and swim in a circle that wasn't authentic for her and it didn't work out.

I'm honestly really glad I read Sartre during my formative years. Sartre's writing about masks and the authentic self really caused me to try and eliminate all masking and just be me. I think it's very important to be your own self judge, not to seek qualification from others because it gets super unhealthy really quickly going down that road.
