And if you have asthma, don’t worry, just take a deep breath :)
Not depression, but …
I have a friend with a bit of “resting bitch face”. Someone screamed at her from across the street to “smile and be happy, it’s a great day!”
She was like, I was happy …
that’s just sexism. no one tells men to be happy when they walk around looking like someone shat in their cereal
I am a man. I also have resting b1tch face. I get told to “smile” or “cheer up” on a weekly basis
Then they’re hitting on you. They want to see that pretty smile of yours.
Uh not correct. Tall angry looking dudes get told all the time to ‘smile’.
Of course, it’s also aimed at women for sexist reason, I got told to smile so many times as an angry looking dude. Then I’m walking around with my daughter and this full on 30 something grown ass adult man tells her to smile. I could have rage fisted him into the fucking sun at midnight, The pure burning hate that flooded my viens at that moment decreased my life span by 3 years. I could have poured it down his entire being. Instead I told him she’ll do whatever she wants with her face, and he can fuck off.
I’d rather have a right hook to the face, thanks
Right up there with the people who ignore me, leave me alone or exclude me when I’m down. I’m depressed because I’m being excluded and feel isolated, jackasses.
“Just show up and do the thing, you’re always welcome!” (Ever tried just showing up when you’ve been removed from being told where the weekly thing even is and no one answers when asked?)
The amount of oblivious hypocrisy I’ve run into while navigating the deep blue is astounding.
I think it helps to give people the benefit of the doubt instead of jumping to accusations of hypocrisy. And if it really keeps happening, you know you won’t fit with that group anyways so best to move on.
This way you deal with the actions you don’t like people doing in a way that doesn’t cause a negative mindset.
Although I will admit, its not like its the easiest thing to just find a new friend group in general so it could get tiring for sure.
