I have to say, I think the use of 'mask' is at the root of that discomfort,
because of the assumption of a false face. I wonder if 'faces' might be more
accurate. As Lee noted, we have different faces for work and
home...additionally, we have different fraces for friend, lover, parent...are
any of them less than sincere?

Thanks, sajida, what do you think about masks? My thoughts until now
have been about how we use masks as self expression, either forming
personas with ego, or expressing what is repressed by stepping outside
our comfort zone with the aid of a (like rebel) persona. But gabby
brings up a new perspective. When others judge there to be a mask,
does it mean there is one? Communication is a two way street, and
understanding isn't always achieved. Can folks seem to be masked
because understanding isn't reached in the communication?
