Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Chalkboards. Chalkboards are the worst.

My back being touched. For some reason, It makes me flinch every time someone touches my back.

Being told to smile. Sorry, my mouth naturally turns down and I don't feel like making the effort. I'll smile when I need to. And I'm friendly and smile at strangers. But my dad is always telling me to smile, and it drives me up a wall.

Mushy textures in food. Overcooked vegetables are the worst.

I don't like being told to smile either. I have a right to be in a bad mood sometimes, why are men (it's always men) so threatened by that?

Interestingly enough, I only ever get the "smile" comments from other women, particularly older ones.

really? huh.

I feel like with women, it's possibly a generational thing? Maybe growing up in the 50s and 60s still has this "we women must always be pleasant" thing ingrained in some heads.

Yeah, it's pretty much always men in my experience as well.

I'm inclined to agree with the anon who said they felt it was a generational thing. They've had the "women have a duty to look/be pleasant and happy even when they're not" thing drummed into their heads from an early age. Also, women are more socialized to notice other peoples' emotional states and interfere, i.e. "fix" it. So it's probably something to do with how they feel you're sad and they want to help you and they believe that telling you to rearrange your facial muscles and pretend like you're happy is helpful.

Either way, fuck 'em. Do what you want with your face.

Agreed on chalkboards. And chalk, it's so dry and dusty.

I'd tell the people telling you to smile that if they want people to smile, they should do something to make people happy.

The last time someone told me to smile, I’d just come from visiting my mom in hospice board and care and I almost slam-dunked a 50-something white dude into a trash-can.
