When people tell me to smile, it's so creepy
I just got to work, I'm very tired from yesterday as I had double the work due to the Victoria day holiday. I don't have my work badge on but I'm dressed pretty nicely. One of the patients walks by in the hallway and is like "smile", I just ignore it and then he keeps saying it then he says it again, smiles and looks at me.
I don't think he meant harm by this but please stop saying this shit. It's uncomfortable and yesterday, I had a bad day. I just woke up and I'm already in a bad mood. Had issues sleeping due to neighbors being super loud, my mom let them grow crops and they will scream talk in the backyard causing me to lose sleep. Just for context, I have severe social anxiety, I already hate being judged and looked at. I'm usually not in a good mood, I was on my phone wearing my headphones just trying to relax. You don't know what others are thinking or feeling.
Also, I go to church every week with my mom because she doesn't have anyone else to go with. This one priest is weird and he will tell you to smile. He will be like "do me a favor and smile". He says the same thing to my cousin and wtf is there to smile about. It's just so creepy to say to another person.
