I called in sick on Monday. I went back to work on Tuesday. Today, when I first walked in, a co-worker said to me, "oh, you look much better today. you're not sick anymore?"  I said, “yeah, I feel much better” and left it at that. But in my head, I was thinking "wtf?! i look more or less the same as i did yesterday. do i really look that much different from yesterday?"

And then there’s our department boss. Whenever he walks by my cube, he almost always says either "wake up! you look tired" or something to effect of "lighten up" or "cheer up" or "smile!", as if I look tired/sleepy or just sad all the time.

I know I’m not consciously trying to look the way that other people are telling me that I look. It fact, most of the time, I feel the exact opposite of how they're telling me I look. So whenever someone says things like that, it sorta doesn't make any sense to me.

But it is interesting. And weird. I don't think I have that many different facial expressions, and I think I have one default/plain expression that I more or less have all the time. I guess my facial expressions/demeanor/body language don't accurately reflect my current state. This leads me to believe that I have a good poker face (which, in my opinion, I don't have). Either my subconscious is just lazy and doesn't want to physically portray how I'm currently feeling, or it's trying to tell me something.....
