So I'm coming to the conclusion I probably have ADHD potentially some autistic traits.
My boss did the smile thing when I was at work.
I was happy chatty engaged with others and polite.
I must ve had a resting bitch face.
Is it ok to tell someone to smile or point to your own smile.?
I'm sure they realise I am neurodiverse

The phrase was originally bitchy resting face. Resting bitch face makes no sense imho.

Anyway, I have one of these and apparently even when I think I’m being smiley and approachable, I still look a bit pissed off.Grin

I can't imagine being bothered by other people's facial expressions. I simply don't care, and am baffled that it affects others.
