Non verbal language and Men telling me to smile
What kind of non-verbal language do you have? Do you look confident, proud, or do you have what we could define as a "beaten dog" look?
This term was given to me by my middle school classmates, during years of intense bullying and being targeted.
Once on the school bus, I was waiting for it to leave while looking out the window, and the driver said, "Nooo, don't start crying." I was simply minding my own business.
At a music festival years ago, I was with a guy, and another guy in his 20s walked past us and told me to give him a smile.
Last year, I walked into a bar and heard the bartender say, "Come on, give me a smile." Out of frustration, I left them a negative review on Google.
A few days ago, I walked into a pizzeria I frequent often, and one of the people there asked me, "Are you sad?"
I am a woman in my 30s and this shit makes my blood boil. I'm a people pleaser and insicure to react. What should i do? Why are men like this?
