I have gotten told that I am shy and that ig i have a resting bitch face? (I don't naturally smile)

Which I mean i can see that, but I am talkative and non-judgemental in reality.

I feel like resting bitch face doesn't sound right, but i also don't know how else to describe it.

resting bitch face sounds so rude

It does, it's not because anyone has said that specific sentence either to me, which is why it feels wrong. I was also gonna use cold, but i don't think that's the right word either.

“That I’m Russian”
Simple and to the point
and not something you’ve repeated before

idk i've experienced people talk russian to me randomly in norway, and in france and spain people asked me if i was russian and it's like ??? no??? wtf so idk

People mistake me to be Hispanic

also people have been assuming I'm a lesbian since I was 12, so there's that

Actual studies actually show that near sighted people on average is more intelligent than the rest of the population, so there's some truth to it. It can be discussed whether near sightedness is a symptom of being clever (due to reading many books) or whether there's any correlation at all of course.

i think it's more the latter than anything based on what the optician i saw in february said, like if you sit in front of a computer a lot and read a lot, it could over time fuck your eyes up

I'd guess the former, considering that was the reason for most near sighted people back in ye olden days
like, sure, other people got troubled vision as well, but if they weren't scholars or such, it didn't matter to be able to see perfectly well and they often didn't have the means
so we associate glasses with rich and thus educated people
but damaging your eyes due to improper reading techniques at a young age is actually damaging if you already have a genetic predisposition to poor vision
but considering near-sighted ness is in oversimplified and short the fact that your eye is "too big" for correct light refraction, I kinda struggle to see how eye size is linked intelligence
oh, but maybe it's also because people with poor vision usually don't do wild things, especially kids with glasses often get told to rather read than climb trees because glasses are expensive
I feel like there is more reasons like this behind it rather than actual intellectual difference

i'm not extremely near sighted, but i have that other thing, but when i've thought about it for a while i think the glasses i had as a child did the same kind of correction as my current glasses so the problem was found early but i was just like lol! glasses! nO!

That's true ! Whenever I visit an optician and tell them what I do they usually say "oh, that makes sense" when they adjust my contact lense strength with quite a lot.

Yeah. I don't know what is the reason behind it, but it also makes sense if there's something cultural behind it (children with glasses being more careful and doing less wild activities)

It's just what the eye doctor told me when I got glasses and he said I should've gotten them 4 years earlier and my mom didn't understand how they hadn't caught it, because my grades were very good.
