,,,sometimes smiles i get make me feel uncomfortable ...sometimes the smiles looks like they are about to laugh . Sometimes the smiles really seem threatening/ sinister. For example , When I go to the library I notice this girl smiles at me and her face is almost stuck in a smile . It makes me feel weird because I don’t know why she keeps smiling at me and .. Its hard to explain because I know smiles are suppose to be friendly gestures but I feel sometimes when certain people do them they are weird and uncomfortable…I don’t know , I know sometimes when im in public its hard for me to hide the Aspergers symptoms maybe this has to do with the smiling?..Does anyon else get feeling that smiles are not always nice , maybe uncomfortable and scary?

I found {this image of Jim Wales}, the founder of Wikipedia, rather off-putting.

Some time ago, whenever I went to Wikipedia, this picture kept popping up as part of a fund raising drive. I just wanted to hide the picture, because the face is too intense.

In fact, most pictures of Jim Wales are too intense for me. Some faces just radiate too much emotion.

I really dislike smiley face emoticons in messages, or smiley faces in notes. My first impression is always that they're artificial, but occasionally that the message is threatening. They seem to be an ornament to everything passive aggressive.

In elementary school, the mom of the girl who bullied me the most always flashed me a creepy smile whenever she saw me. I found her smile creepy because...
1. It's very wide.
2. Her eyes never crinkle, so it's a fake smile.
