In real life a lot of people probably just project onto others what they want or expect to see, especially if the person isn't showing any emotion. I've had people think all kinds of things about me because of my flat affect that were wrong.


I've had the same experience. My face has a very blank look on it most of the time, and people read all sorts of (usually wrong) things in it.

I laughed at your choice of picture to illustrate it. I've finally gotten around to watching "The Final Act" the last few days, and had finished an episode just a minute or two before i read your post.

So where are we with Brock from the Pokemon series? His eyes always seem to be shut!

Yeah, actually, I kind of can.

I can't base it on anything or point to anything. I'm sure it is based on something and I just can't identify what. It appears to me as a blind intuition.

And then I tell myself that I shouldn't trust blind intuition, that I should wait for evidence, that everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves, that I have to ask for the benefit of the doubt a lot so I should always give it to others, that it's flatly immoral (or symptomatic of paranoid schizophrenia) to "just know" someone is evil...

I've ended up getting hurt because of that reasoning more times than I care to recount.
