I’ve always had an inability to hide my emotions from my face, so I don’t even try. When I’m not trying to make a face and my brain’s going “don’t make a face don’t make a face don’t make a face” I am 100% making a face. For good or for ill I really wear my heart on my sleeve that way, and I’ve learned to live with having my feelings be extremely transparent.
Since COVID I’ve used face masks to my advantage - strategically donning them at work not to protect myself from illness, but to hide feelings of anger, disgust, frustration, or contempt from my superiors or employees.
Side note: I played that emotional intelligence quiz and scored 14/20. I’d argue a lot of my misses we less lack of emotional intelligence and more the people in the pictures being bad actors, so don’t feel to down on your ability to read people. If it were Meryl Streep doing the emotions we’d all been 20/20.
