adventure in facial expressions


[Co-worker is sad about a thing that happened to them yesterday.]


[Well, I don't know them well, but yeah, I can see how that thing could be upsetting...
I'm sad that they're sad. Fuck, I probably don't look it at all! Okay, sad face, I can do it...]


[Co-worker: ...and it was so cool!
me: Wait, they're not sad. That's excited.
That... does make more sense, I guess. Well, I'm happy for them. I should smile.]


[I think this is the expression I was making. That's a smile, right? I hope they took it as a smile.
I hope smiling was the appropriate outwards reaction.]
