I was made aware today that I have a "very expressive face" and that these expressions are interpreted in wild and imaginative ways by people who take them extremely personally. Now, as a person who goes out of their way to never to make eye contact and often hides their face in various scarves, hoods and high collars to avoid being perceived at all, this is alarming news. Highly distressing, actually. People are really out there projecting their own insecurities onto other people's eyebrows. "You look at me like I'm stupid" Or maybe I'm just anxious and confused because you're mad at me?? You can't just imagine what my face is saying and accuse me of thinking mean things. My face wasn't talking to you! Stop looking at it! Fuck!!
I love text based communication.
