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 expressionđ .
People say theyâre confused when they look at me, they find it hard to tell wether Iâm happy or sad, my facial expression is always unpredictable and makes them scared to approachđ .
Iâve tried all I can correcting this impression, but thereâs 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 âPrior 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 wasnât 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 rejectionđ
â.
I thought, is it that bad that one canât even approach me with a âgiftâ because I probably wasnât smiling at the time. that and few other times when I got to miss some little moments because of my âunpredictable moodâ.

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 thereâs 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 isnât a very good one, so Please Iâm open to tips on how to keep an approachable face from anyone here, maybe thatâll help me get betterđ.
