It takes way too much energy out of me and effort to make my emotions appear on my face so I choose not to but I thinkk that people hate me for it (especially other women) bc I prob seem bitchy. They point it out a lot too. I’m not mean I just can’t do it

I also feel like this is the case with Americans in general bc in other countries this is much more acceptable (coming off as more reserved)

Im autistic and do this and it helps to just say your emotions. If you catch a vibe that someone may be offput by your facial expressions just saying why can help ease their nerves. But it also isnt ur job to manage others emotions

I may be happy inside but I have to make a conscious effort to smile hard enough to please people in America but in other countries they don’t seem to care

Hii yess I also come across very monotone and people always mention this about me. Men and women react different but it seems that women dislike it more than men do based on my experiences. I cannot connect w women very well sadly. I also believe I might be autistic except I probably masked in my childhood. I have many autistic traits however it can also be something else so I’m not completely sure. I have to look into getting a proper diagnosis soon. I would love to hear about your experiences

its so hard to connect to ppl esp in person for me bc of the fact im so monotone idk if i can say if one specific gender dislikes it more simply bc guys just never talk to me willingly most of the time bc im not as pretty and the guys in my middle school/high school never talked to girls theyre not sexually attracted to.. i think i masked a lot as a child like you too and it was def easier for me since i was always quiet and considered a gifted child so adults didnt rlly pay attention to me
