Does Your Face Affect Your Personality?
Since the dawn of my existence I have been pelted with comments like “What’s wrong, bad day?” or “You looked tired.” Although I have a nice smile in the picture above my mouth normally sits in a small pouty frown, and with those eyes to match it, most people assume that I’m depressed even when absolutely nothing has happened to get me down.
I’ve had people tell me that my eyes make me look very thoughtful, tired, kind, sad, and from less tactful people…high…
Naturally because of my appearance I tend to attract calm, sad, and lonely people. People tell me I seem empathetic and like to tell me their life stories because they say I seem like I’d be good at listening to them.
So you may be wondering what I am really like under the heavy eyes. Shocking, or not, I am a sad, thoughtful, empathetic person…but is that because that is just naturally me, or is that because that’s how everyone has expected me to be because of my appearance, and I was just raised believing I was a certain way?
Does you’re face tell story? Do people judge you before even knowing you just by your natural facial expression? Do you think it affects your personality?
