I’ll feel like I am doing some cartoon shit with my face, but then look in the mirror and it’s not at all doing what it feels like I’m doing.
Edit: the expression
The first days when we were allowed to not wear masks
I miss having a mask on all day at work because now I have to make an effort to hide my sarcastic faces again
That never happens to me because I’m too autistic to be aware of my own facial expressions. I didn’t even realize until a friend I made at 20 or 21 told me I could go into theater because I was so expressive with my face. That gave me a bit of a mini existential crisis. My face has been loudly communicating things to everyone all this time without my knowledge or consent? Wtf
Yeah, faces do that. I asked mine to stop but it didn’t listen. So inconsiderate.
Try Botox
I’m kinda like this, but I swing from being very readable, to having a poker face that even a professional poker player wouldn’t be able to crack. It’s not at all voluntary and seems to depend on the environment. If I’m super focused on something, I end up with a poker face frozen in a particular expression. It also seems like my face isn’t readable when I’m uncomfortable or annoyed (or maybe people can read it but don’t give a fuck about how they’re making me feel), but otherwise my face tends to be very readable.
Me when my brain waits until family dinner to tell me the funniest joke I’ve ever heard, but only I understand it
Usually the moment after greeting a passerby with a faked smile, my face goes straight to depressed sour-lemon mode, which I then quickly straighten up to a less worrying expression. Just in case other people pass by. Don’t want to ruin anyone’s day.
