One thing people always misunderstand about me

in Ladies of Hive • last year

I actually do have lots of misunderstandings from people about things I do and why I do them, but I think the craziest or mostly mentioned is about my facial expression😅.

People say they’re confused when they look at me, they find it hard to tell wether I’m happy or sad, my facial expression is always unpredictable and makes them scared to approach😅.

I’ve tried all I can correcting this impression, but there’s nothing more to do so I let them do their judgments and take it whichever way they chose.
Now, this has saved me from a lot of unnecessary scenes and has as well made me miss some opportunities too.

I had an encounter with a friend sometime, he said “Prior to this day, I had bought you a present,but when I got to where you stood, I quickly read the expression on your face and it wasn’t a good one. I was scared if you were having a bad day or you just needed your time so I decided to keep my gift to myself to avoid rejection😅”.
I thought, is it that bad that one can’t even approach me with a “gift” because I probably wasn’t smiling at the time. that and few other times when I got to miss some little moments because of my “unpredictable mood”.

It actually get to me though but seems nothing changes. In as much as I do not want to scare people away from me, I as well can not just put up a smile when there’s no reason to do so, I guess how I feel inside me is just automatically seen no matter how I try not to express it.

I understand this isn’t a very good one, so Please I’m open to tips on how to keep an approachable face from anyone here, maybe that’ll help me get better😌.

It does happen sometimes that people can misunderstand us from our facial look, but it's not someone's fault because everyone will not have a smiling face Just like @piusjnr88 said. Its left for us to try getting closer to people before we judge them. Thanks for sharing @piusjnr88. Enjoy your day.

Right, we shouldn’t be judged from our facial expressions. Try putting up a conversation to be sure of the mood😌. Thank you @sunshine29 Nice having you here too☺️

te entiendo, yo soy muy expresiva y a veces ni cuenta me doy de que cara estoy poniendo 😅 no te sientas mal de ser como eres 😘 saludos💛
