Sounds a lot like “I’ll never fly THIS airline again”.....

There’s always Greyhound.

Greyhound has economy plus for $36 between Austin and Dallas. Free WiFi, power outlets, and comfy oversized seats. It’s spectacular..
When you commute you gotta do what you gotta do.

It isn’t all about you, a mask is an appreciated courtesy to others protecting them from you. Requiring masks is one of the simplest things that can be done to restore confidence in the public. Confidence is what is needed to bring passengers back, and if they know their seat mate will be expected to take basic commonsense simple precautions then more people will have greater confidence in the safety of flying.

FWIW...Here's the issue I have with the mask. I have no underlying health issues, but when I wear a mask walking around a grocery store or the local Home Depot I begin to often feel lightheaded. I need to remove it for some time to feel normal. One can only imagine what it feels like at a cabin altitude of 7000'.

Are you wearing a tight mask made out of plastic? Does it have a tennis ball or sock inside your mouth? Sorry dude, but if you get lightheaded walking around the store wearing a 'normal' mask then you probably DO have some underlying health issue. It could also be a little claustrophobia or anxiety.
