Aibu to wonder why this helped and get someone to guess 🤔

Has anyone else noticed this? I normally have major resting bitch face and have been told by various people I have a very serious and dont talk to me look.
Despite my attempts to ease my face and give off im friendly vibes most people dont come near me. ( I have honestly thought about a she's friendly badge to put on lol)

Over the past week things have changed. People now ask me questions and even try and have small talk ( today at bus stop) Just a general friendly vibe I get from people all over.

I have made one change
Can anyone guess what?

You’ve been wearing a mouth guard when you sleep?

Smiled?

Smile

Handed in your notice / got a better job /pay rise

I had headphones on while listening to a book. That's it honestly

Had amazing sex

Apart from botox and HRT I have done all the above and it didn't make a difference.

Was it a funny book?

Oooooooookaaayyy...

The one day was a sophie kinsella one, but the other one was Darren Mcgarvey, so yes and no. I wonder why it makes me more friendly looking 🤔

For me, wearing headphones means I don't want people to talk to me.

what an odd post

This was the worst game ever.

I used to take a book into the sauna after gym and swim....that was like moth to a flame for people wanting to talk (not about the book). Sat there without book, bored ...no-one spoke. People are peculiar OP

Congratulations!

But people not wanting to talk to me is one of the best things about getting older. Please don't give in so easily OP! Read a miserable book and scowl.

You stopped wearing sunglasses all the time everywhere??

If I have my headphones in and I'm standing on a platform of 20 other people - none of whom are wearing headphones - I can guarantee that I will be chosen as the person to ask for directions/what time the next train is coming/where the next train is headed.

WHYYYY?

I reckon you were distracted/relaxed by the audiobook and your whole demeanour was more relaxed/approachable as a result.

Left your husband

You were smiling

😂

Have the people trying to talk to you been men? It’s not uncommon for men to try to disturb women who are just minding their own business.

That’s my theory too

You have a dog. Dogs are fab. Not only at home but out and about everyone talks to you!!!
