Gosh, yes, it’s annoying. I’d be constantly getting people telling me to cheer up. Once a lady on the bus to school gave me a looooong pep talk about how I’m so pretty and if anyone picks on me it’s because they’re jealous, and I was like, whaaa? I can only assume I looked really sad, but I was probably just thinking about a video game or Formula 1 😅
As I got older, my resting sad face turned to resting angry face. 🤷🏽♀️
Also I have to say, strangers telling you to cheer up can just eff right off, especially when they follow it up with “it’s not that bad”. They can naff right off with that, how presumptive to think they know what’s going on in my life.
When I have to do something with my hands that requires dexterity, but it’s impossible to see with my eyes, I close my eyes, slightly open my mouth, and bare my teeth. I can feel myself doing it.
I’ve wondered what people think of me when I’m making that face- need to ask my coworkers.
If someone tells my wife to smile more she has perfected the most psychotic looking grin to give in return. Wish I could do that. I usually scowl even harder.

What is hard is when someone asks me a question that requires a decent amount of thought. I can either maintain my face or think. I can’t do both.
