Other people, including my family, have told me I looked angry when I was just in thought about something and whenever they thought I should be angry.
Mine mum still does this "whenever they think I should be angry" stuff. I find it very odd sometimes that they figure my default emotion is anger. In fact, it can be very frustrating to have someone make assumptions about me like that, because then I have to worry if I'm really portraying anger unintentionally or if they are imagining it.
I know for sure - until 6 months ago I would have said 100% that they were imagining it - that I often SOUND angry even if I'm not, even if I'm nowhere near angry. I know this, because on at least three occasions in the last 6 months people who had no reason to BS me have pointed this out to me.
It seems to happen more often when I start describing past events that confused the hell out of me (and still do).
Aspies in Confusion = Portray Anger? Time for you all to approach your families and friends and do field tests!
