Am I the bad one for wearing a mask?

I live in Michigan with my dad and stepmother. Without asking me if I was okay with it they invited my brother, his girlfriend, my stepsister, her husband and one of their friends who is visiting over to our house as this is the first weekend that you could have up to 10 people over as long as you follow social distancing. They were over for about 6 hours.

I have asthma and am being tested for more things that could make me vulnerable so I wore a mask I made (I’m waiting for some made by people on Etsy). My dad has MS which is autoimmune so he’s high risk too.

My dad and stepmom got themselves masks from one of my aunts neighbors but left me out of that entire process so I used an old n95 I had and now this homemade one. Anyway they have masks and everyone who came over have them.

But I’m the only one who wore one and tried to follow good social distancing. Everyone else acted like nothing is going on despite talking about the pandemic and being critical of other people who don’t follow the rules.

Am I the bad one? I’m the only one who wore a mask. I know some of the people who came over haven’t been social distancing and have been traveling. I think I’m in the right, I’m trying to protect myself. I’m a bit frustrated by this whole thing because if anyone gets it, it’s likely to spread through the house with everyone getting it. If it was my place I wouldn’t have anyone over especially with high risk people living there.

I don’t know, I get confused sometimes because of how I grew up with my dad and mom and the childhood trauma I’ve lived through. I think they didn’t like me wearing a mask. Which I know doesn’t automatically make what I did wrong but my head goes there automatically still.
