    I think they fear the social consequences (hence masks), ie. What happens when people they know find out what they do? Surely not everyone they know thinks what they’re doing is good.

      Not wanting people you know to find out what you do because their behavior will change when they know it is kind of the definition of shame.

        They don’t feel bad or humiliated, though. Not everyone who wants to get away with something is ashamed of it.
