Welcome to the Forums.

Regarding the things you are wanting to learn about I would suggest trying the search function - its good

Hi Atticus, welcome. You could read some threads here about masking. I would say, think carefully about where and when you may want to stop masking, as masking will have had a function for you, and doesn't have to be dropped all at once.

I actually wouldn't want to stop masking, it's a way of getting by and often I don't feel there's a viable alternative. But everyone is different, and it may suit you to drop the mask when you feel it appropriate.

I hope you enjoy it here and find it supportive.

Welcome! There are lots of interesting views on masking and when to take it of and why (or not, and why). This is a great place for community and support and information.
