People are generally incredibly bad at reading others' emotions anyway; if masks push us far enough towards actually realizing that fact, maybe it's on the whole a good thing.

If it doesn't matter, don't worry about it--and if it does matter, just ask! You don't need to be able to guess someone's emotions from their face for society to function.
