No one's forcing you to not wear a mask, do it anyway
It's incredibly difficult to communicate with hard of hearing old people when they can't see your face 😖 Otherwise I'd wear a mask forever.
(I'm a nurse. Or as I like to put it: I shout at old people for a living lol.)
Lol, I'm an ED CNA. I yell at old people too. But you can always pull it down for what you need, then back up!
Oh hey, fam! Yeah nah, fuck ED. If I were in ED, I'd be in an N95 for the rest of existence cause people are gross lol. I work cardiac stepdown like a spoiled biotch.
I used to work up on an ortho/neuro floor and then they changed it to some kind of nursing home type situation, I said fuck that and got myself down to the ED. I fucking love it. People are gross, but at least it's never boring
We all wear masks , Wendy ... metaphorically speaking
Me when my brain waits until family dinner to tell me the funniest joke I've ever heard, but only I understand it
What's worse is when it happens in the middle of someone else having a tense conversation
“You’re laughing. I was talking about my miscarriage and you’re laughing.”
As a man who is constantly working short films and comics to make yea a lot of the internal jokes in my head are pretty long winded to explain because now I'm going to have to explain the entire lore of the in species and explain what a cancer former is to explain why it's funny for someone to use a cancer former on a thein to give it pink skin so yea do you have 2 days straight to listen to me ramble on explaining this incredibly random joke that just popped into my head
That never happens to me because I'm too autistic to be aware of my own facial expressions. I didn't even realize until a friend I made at 20 or 21 told me I could go into theater because I was so expressive with my face. That gave me a bit of a mini existential crisis. My face has been loudly communicating things to everyone all this time without my knowledge or consent? Wtf
Yeah, faces do that. I asked mine to stop but it didn't listen. So inconsiderate.

I'll feel like I am doing some cartoon shit with my face, but then look in the mirror and it's not at all doing what it feels like I'm doing.
Edit: the expression
As an autistic person, all the time
I accidentally full on speak my intetnal conversations out loud sometimes. Usually they make zero sense unless you're me. Obviously I try my best to not do that in public, and it's almost always just a whisper, but I wonder how many strangers have thought I'm weird as hell.
I do that too sometimes, but I don't think anyone's ever heard me yet
I hope no one's ever heard me lol
I think That’s a trait of a creative mind. I guess not everyone does that. In fact there’s a small amount of people who have no voice in their head at all. Anaduralia. A form of aphantasia.
you could use the ability to help you solve problems creatively where you just let your mind go about an issue you have. Sometimes the conversation turns up something you can try out
I just play it off like I'm on the phone.
Yeah, this is super common for me "Sorry, I didn't mean to express my actual reaction to what you just said to me" lol
I get the joke, but no.
I try not to be that oppressed.
How do I do it?
I dont turn the cam on at the work meeting.
bro only sees other real humans on his linux box
The first days when we were allowed to not wear masks
I have no idea what my face is doing most of the time, who cares.
In zoom meetings my face is louder then words
I was just thinking about all the times I desperately held back rolling my eyes during Zoom meetings.
Usually the moment after greeting a passerby with a faked smile, my face goes straight to depressed sour-lemon mode, which I then quickly straighten up to a less worrying expression. Just in case other people pass by. Don't want to ruin anyone's day.
when yer maladaptive(ly) daydreaming
I get called out by one friend often. It disgust me that people can't express their emotions facially without ridicule
I am such a fan (recently) of the charismatic voice because she makes Disney characters seem subdued.
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
My face is always a total lack of comment.
