my problematic looking office mate

Well at least you changed the girl's attitude towards life for at least a few minutes of her time at work. I think the girl just made this effort to hide something from you by smiling at you. I think it would be better if she open it up to you and let it out because sometimes just keeping it to herself might not help her to at least unburden her feelings.

hi SIMPLYD, Hahhaha!there are people like that even me I look like scary for others in a way they think I am snobbish and will act violently if they will approach me happy mylotting

lol i guess sometimes people do really have a lot of problem.. or that some err..like me tend to over think stuff.. so i get this face sometimes hahahaha but lately i try my best not to worry too much and over think too much.

she might have had temporarily serious problem that undermined her. I guess you needn't have teased her. Instead, you should have approached her in the hope of finding out what caused her to look like that.

Perhaps she worries too much or more than she needs to. It's good that she has someone to remind her not to do that. Whatever problem she has, it is better off to deal with if she has less worries.

Hello SIMPLYD greetings. Different people have different personality. Sometimes, it is the environment that contributes to the behavior of an individual whether happy go lucky or lonely. But the good thing is you are there to cheer up your lonely and problematic office mate. Make it your mission if possible. Is that ok with you?

Does she ever talk to you about why she looks that way? Have you ever asked her if she needed help?

I am a very pessimistic person, and I tend to worry a lot. I think this shows in my face too. So I bet there would be a few people around me who would think that I too have a problematic face. And like your office mate, I crave for funny things or funny situations so I wouldn't be this problematic all the time.

Dina You reminded me of a lab attendant working in our lab while i was teaching in a college; he always wore an expression, as if he has lot of problems; once you ask with sympathy; he will tell stories and ask for money; i gave some times, later knew he consumed in drinks..

What might look like a problematic face to you can also be her serious face. It's the same with people who look serious or normal and others say they look as if they are in a bad mood! If you keep saying that I can assure you their mood will be bad. We don't all have the same face, expressions. Better be aware of this fact and that "forcing" a happy face can make one feel miserable sooner or later as well. I wonder why people always force others into that. Why it is so hard to accept people the way they are even if they don't look happy or have a neutral face according to the own standards.

Congratulations! Making somebody happy is a great accomplishment! Keep it up girl!

Noticing someone with that kind of looks usually had been a circle of laughed by many, for they weren't concerned with what was that person is going through.. But even it reflects from her facial looks, she still kept it to herself as she face the day during her times of work. But through your concern, thought at first you find her funny with her looks, you have thought of how to make her smile in a way that she might not get offended. Even you didn't find out her reasons, in that way, its still been a big helped to lighten her day. Good job!

She's one lucky girl to have a caring colleague like you. I do believe that we must never take into our workplace whatever personal problems that we may have, but of course sometimes, it just gets so much that we can't help but let it show in our face and actions. I'm sure she will get over it soon. And I am also sure that your good deed will not remain unnoticed.
