Not understanding how I feel? - Part 2; What others interpret

Goatworshiper

I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences?

Whilst at work this afternoon a coleague asked how I was and said I look miserable, whilst I was waiting for a coffee. I was just feeling normal. So I just said I was fine, bit tired and needing some caffine. The coleague is newish and doesnt know me well, he seems like a nice friendly guy.

In another job, I can remember someone saying I looked miserable and unaproachable. It seems to be a reoccuring theme.

Im now not sure if this is "anxeity" and I just don't recognise it. I just don't really understand feelings in someways.

    Oh and smilies - wasn't there another thread on that? - I don't understand them. What exactly does tongue out to one side mean?

    There are a number of interpretations (of course!) but the most common, and the one I mean when I use it is like 'tongue-in-cheek' (which in and of itself is a concept that it took me some time to understand (surely if one's tongue were in one's cheek one would bite it rather a lot!? (but I digress))) - so it's like 'only joking', or 'not seriously'.

    (But, don't ask me why it means that! I just know it does.)
