1. People always think you're pissed off.
2. Everybody assumes that you hate them when they first meet you.
3. People don't always know how to initiate a conversation with you and tend to give up trying pretty quickly because they think you couldn't care less about their opinions, anyway.
4. There are moments when you could've sworn you were smiling, but nope...everyone just seems to think you're pissed off at them.
5. And you're sick and tired of everyone telling you to smile for the damn camera.
6. You hate it when people ask you if something's wrong or tell you there's nothing to be upset about.
7. You avoid making eye contact with strangers because you're worried that your gaze is too ~intense~ for them.
8. You exhibit superhuman strength in meetings just trying to keep a smile plastered on your face.
9. Your happiness is not the first thing people notice about you.
10. When you're quiet, people think you're secretly cursing them.
11. And sunglasses just make you look like you're throwing MAJOR shade.
12. You know full well that if you were cast in a film, you'd play the villain.
13. People tend not to make a lot of jokes when you're around because they're terrified of your reaction:
14. For as long as you can remember, your face has been more...serious...than other people's.
15. And of course you laugh — you're human. But you don't go around exposing your teeth for just any old reason.
16. Only your true friends and family know when you're really happy or angry.
17. For the rest of the world, it's impossible to differentiate between the two.
18. You've often had to clarify that what you said was "just a joke" because people just don't get it from your face.
19. Some very judgmental people won't even take the time to get to know you, but will simply hate you at first sight.
20. The flip side? Fewer people bothering you in public.
21. And people always think twice before asking you for a favor.
22. But even though most people think you're sending them straight to hell just by the look on your face...
23. ...those who know you know that deep down you're gracious and kind, and know how to have a damn good time.
