wonders if i can get a doctors note attributing my lack of expression to my 2022 headbonk

I’d say “wear a mask,” but… honestly, I work in a pharmacy, where it is currently required for all customer facing employees to wear masks but I’m still the only one who reliably does, and I face the exact same problem. I can be smiling like the bubbliest social butterfly, but they can’t see it through my mask and so I keep getting complaints that I….stress people out by being overly anxious all the time? Because apparently “friendly smile with mouth covered by N95” = “resting panic face”?

(I don’t even know. I don’t think I believe in this supposed Neurotypical ability to read emotions in people’s eyes without needing to see the mouth, they are damn liars)
