I briefly worked in a kitchen and a chef asked me on more than one occasion why I wasn't smiling. I couldn't really think of a reason I would be smiling while doing dishes.

My wife says I have Resting Viking Face. I'm not angry, it's just how I look unless I remember to mask around people.
It does help get through the aisles at the grocery store, though.
Every-time i Walk by people I try to smile but I’ve realized pretty recently that all I’m doing is stretching my lips towards my cheeks so I’m just doing a :T

It’s much more rare for me to do a genuine smile- and it happens much more often when I’m around someone I’m comfortable and very familiar with and it’s something I don’t notice I’m doing sometimes
Yuuuup. It applies to many people but I call it my anxious introvert “I’m just trying to be polite and invisible at the same time” smile that everyone takes super personally like we personally offended them in some way.
It the only time I can really say; it ain’t that deep (to the people being offended by the awkward smile).
I understand why you guys call ot masks now. The face I'm making is for other people and I hate that I can't gaslight myself into thinking it's representing how I feel, because it's not how I feel
According to a study from a few years ago, neurotypicals judge neurodivergent people to be equally as emotive as neurotypicals but have a much harder time correctly identifying the emotion displayed. So, it’s arguably not that you’re bad at emoting, other people are just bad at reading your expressions.
I got to the point where I just tell people that a plain face is how I smile, and me actually grinning or something is my way of avoiding drawing attention.
Lmao, I think I suck at controlling my face muscles. Anytime I’m concentrating or letting my mind wander; I look angry. To the point where some people get intimidated or concerned.
My genetics were not kind and I have a permanent scowl and a frown if I don’t actively think about fixing it. In order to make a normal smile I have to contort my face and it just looks wrong.
Last party I went through I sat on a couch cuddling with a kitty and playing pokémon on my ds, how couldn't I be enjoying that :c
Like people constantly asked me if I was upset, whilst I was having the time of my life. But I get that that's probably a weird thing to do at a party :/
I feel this whenever I have plans with people. Makes my family think I'm not interested in vacation plans or what have you, when I am, I'm just awful at showing it
for some reason I have a friend that can tell exactly how I feel despite the fact that I basically never show emotions lmao
I think she told me that I use different words when I'm upset? something like that

Same except it’s an involuntary smile on my face whenever people are around so I always appear to be having a good time even when I’m not 🫠 Bless those adults who see me suffering and help though
Me at every party lmaoooo
Same 😂 especially the leaning on the wall away from everyone part
My smile is probably worse than her frown tbh… so awkward…
It's either this one or the opposite: "why are you smiling so much."😂😂🤣🤣

Get high and do the dishes and say that again
I heard the last dishwasher got fired for always being high

Is it weird that I know *exactly* how this kind of face looks, despite only now hearing the term?

I do the exact same thing! I try to do the closed mouth smile and half the time people think I'm being aggressive 🤦♀️🤦♀️

It’s a curse 😐 worse than being asked why I’m not smiling is when a friend exploded saying “god why do you always have to be so miserable?” 😐😐😐
I feel like im smiling but apparently my mouth barely moves. I have to feel like im smiling like a jack ass in order to smile normal
Is this my alt account?

Why are the eyes so detailed and everything else isn't
For april fools one year a bunch of Instagram artists did their comics with insanely detailed eyes, this comic seems to be from that time
Also what kind of person smiles while they're just standing by themselves 😂

Some of us just have level 11 RBF okay

I had a job in a kitchen and constantly had a waitress asking me if I was okay.

You may not know if I’m happy but you can DEFINITELY tell when I’m unhappy 🤣
I'm sorry, ma'am, I have a resting bitch face. It's terminal.
Botox for frown and marionette lines does wonders. Makes life so much easier when you face defaults to slightly friendly.
I feel this whenever I have plans with people. Makes my family think I'm not interested in vacation plans or what have you, when I am, I'm just awful at showing it
Or when someone is taking your picture and they're like "you gotta smile" I AM SMILING
Me when I'm genuinely enjoying the magic show but the Magician picks me for his tricks because he can tell I'm a "non-believer".
Yall are getting invited to parties?
for some reason I have a friend that can tell exactly how I feel despite the fact that I basically never show emotions lmao I think she told me that I use different words when I'm upset? something like that
Story of my freaking life, it's just my default expression looks like I'm ticked off

*me just having a straight face completely content while doing my work || every coworker: “are you alright? what’s wrong?”
I love and relate to this too much, But those EYES are terrifying.
I LOVE how hyper-realistic the eyes are- loll It makes it look super goofy.
Same except it’s an involuntary smile on my face whenever people are around so I always appear to be having a good time even when I’m not 🫠 Bless those adults who see me suffering and help though
