Somebody’s resting face is not a review of you.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Faces at rest do all sorts of things that have nothing to do with the person in front of them. Tiredness, concentration, a sore back and the plain architecture of a face can all read as disapproval. If you are already unsure of yourself you will take that expression personally and build a story on it. The face was not about you.

Gather evidence before concluding anything this week. Did they speak to you normally, did they answer your message, did they look like that at everybody? If an expression is the only evidence you have, let it go and stop reading faces as scorecards.
