I know a 'you are a pretty thick child, ain't ya'-'look'. If it's the same 'look' (=for me I can only recognise the tone of someone's voice), then I know it well. Almost every new person I get to meet makes remarks like this. I imagine their facial expression will mirror their tone of voice.
It's not helping that I repeatedly get mistaken for a minor these days, it's insanity.


O don't worry. I used to get pi***d that everyone would ask me for ID in pubs. Then one day they didn't. I thought gee I MUST be looking old...

Then it won't matter if the entire world gives you a "you're an idiot look," because you'll know that you aren't. And, what's more important, you'll realise that that is all that matters.


Right on! If someone labels you or gives you a negative look just remember that this comes from inside of them and not you! When you don't judge and someone else judges you they are really defining theirselves and projecting this denied aspect of theirself. He or She is the idiot, not you.
