I am super sensitive to facial expressions so sometimes it’s less about “I can’t tell what your facial expression means” and more about “I can’t tell if your facial expression + your words have a different meaning” if they don’t match in my head. Like if you don’t look happy with me but you sound happy with me, I’m going to think you’re upset. Which is why I LOVE expressive people.
