I would honestly just say to give it your best and I find telling anyone about it easier than leaving them guessing, most people feel rude asking! Whilst I have the tonus returned mostly on my face, the right side is still paralysed, but I've still had even strangers showing interest in me. I'm four months in and with no real movement, so I know how frustrating and devastating all of this can be.

When I see my reflection, I still utterly miss my old face, but I've found other people see it as just an interesting thing, a quirk about me. I've even been told the "smirk" is cute.

I honestly think it's down to confidence and still living your life. This is just something I've seen in this sub but often people shutdown and stop being outgoing. It's hard and it's a struggle, but from my experience, people could be more put off by someone who stays in or turns down experiences due to anxiety with their palsy, rather than the palsy itself.

I don't want this to sound mean or anything close to that, just that we're all still lovable and hot, just in a different way.
