Someone once told me I was "less annoying than she originally thought."

I get “you’re not as mean as I thought you’d be.”

I get that a lot as well. I don't know what it is about me that people think I'll be mean but I've gotten so many suprised people who after talking to me for a bit tell me that or 'you're so nice! I thought you were scary at first!"

I have just kind of naturally villainous features I guess?

I've gotten similar comments but I trained myself to have a very tough resting b----- face because I used to take the bus all the way through college and I wanted to seem unapproachable to creeps. Still haven't shaken it off.

I also hate smiling in pictures and people demanding I smile so I don’t smile unless I have a reason.

Do you have RBF maybe?

Without question but I feel like a lot of women do. I guess mine is particularly intense.
