This mask does not have to be physical, but can be an emotional one built up around an individual to hide their true thoughts and emotions. As a person who tends to bottle up their emotions, I have a mask that generally disguises my depression and sadness, and I don't like to have it slip out of place. It is a security mechanism that gives me an assurance that my sadness will not ruin someone else's day, because that would be rude. For others, it's assurance of getting away with the murder of their spouse's lover. There's a variety of other uses of course but I believe those are the most common uses.
