This was the exact thought I spent the last few minutes trying and failing to put into words.

Any time I'm around coworkers, I'm being judged. That's how social interaction works. In this case, that judgment will affect whether or not I continue to have my job. I cannot relax and enjoy myself when my ability to buy food and pay rent is at stake.

Not to misuse a term but it essentially feels like continued masking, it takes mental effort and is absolutely not relaxing.
