    Gosh, yes, it’s annoying. I’d be constantly getting people telling me to cheer up. Once a lady on the bus to school gave me a looooong pep talk about how I’m so pretty and if anyone picks on me it’s because they’re jealous, and I was like, whaaa? I can only assume I looked really sad, but I was probably just thinking about a video game or Formula 1 😅

    As I got older, my resting sad face turned to resting angry face. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Also I have to say, strangers telling you to cheer up can just eff right off, especially when they follow it up with “it’s not that bad”. They can naff right off with that, how presumptive to think they know what’s going on in my life.
