Recent Art and feeling...

I've been in a car ride like that... more than once.

A lot of introverts report having similar experiences.  I remember reading someone's account where they were just in a café, focusing on studies or something, and one of the workers came over and asked if they were doing okay.  (Apparently the look of concentration looked like a frown?)

Another quiet person reported someone at a party approaching them, asking if or inferring that they don't have anything going on in their mind to share.  The person approached accidentally went on a string of super-deep topics - enough to scare the person asking - and went back to being quiet.

Maybe not exactly the same, but still.  Apparently there's a tendency to assume that if someone isn't, say, chatty and grinning, then they're probably upset.  (And maybe there's nothing going on inside. -_-; )

Personally, next time someone tells me to smile, I gotta remember to do a Stepford Smile, to make a point. >.>  (Maybe sing a bit of Masks by Aviators...)

So...in this page Mebs tracks to Kria and her friend tracks to Sherri?

Thank you very much for linking that.   I'd heard 'Teeth' from Aviators, but Masks is kicking, too!

 I get this a lot in real life. People tend to avoid me, because my resting face makes me look angry. Sometimes it's a blessing.
