A lot of people can get used to it. I actually can’t sleep without it now, and I use the full face model. It’s almost comforting now. That said, some people truly cannot get used to a full face mask. If it’s an option, they do make nasal masks (only covers your nose) and nasal pillows (kind of just rests under your nose.)
I’ve heard there are even more cutting edge options out there but I never looked into them since I’m fine with what I have, but it’s definitely worth doing some research about. Quality sleep really can be life changing if it’s achievable.

If you snore badly enough, you’re not sleeping. You just close your eyes and effectively hold your breath between gasps of air.
I wasn’t breathing for 40 seconds every minute. 10+ hours of sleep and woke up dead tired.
With the CPAP I get 5-6 hours and wake up fully rested. Worth the pain of figuring out which mask didn’t make me feel like choking (it was the nasal one)
