If you can incorporate a wire across the bridge of your nose and upper cheeks somehow, it really does help with the glasses fogging, I find.

I hear you on the always reaching out. I'm very introverted but have a small circle of people I enjoy seeing on a regular basis. Now we can't do that informal in-person thing and they have pre-established facebook networks which they're all now living in. I am gratefully not on FB - nvm the politics of it, the vicious gossip of the local scene is enough! - but then I don't hear back when I text unless (I feel like) I nag, and then it's a very surface exchange anyway. Hopefully we'll all get better at striking a balance and finding creative ways to strengthen connections but, yeah, very awkward at the moment.

Yeah, I'm not on FB either.

I've seen the wire advice, but didn't have any suitable wire on hand. The wire bits that come with freezer bags for closing that I did try to insert weren't sturdy enough to make much of a difference. I guess I will have to dig through the odds and ends of my toolbox and assorted crafting supplies for a more comfortable DIY mask, considering this is bound to go on for a while.
