Hi grymt
I think it's important to work out where that anger comes from so you can do something about it.
Are you open to the idea of counselling/therapy?
Wearing a mask as protection, difficulty in really communicating, and a kind of mental standoffedness is something I think a lot of us can identify with too.
I didn't have much counselling but I had enough to identity the issues and give me a kickstart.
