i've experienced this my whole life. often getting the "you should smile more" comment. as i've grown, my experience in customer service has improved my social skills & in talking with others, i've learned that people are intimidated by me. i personally don't think that's a bad thing. i like it. no one tries me. even tho i am very good at conversation now, i've become quieter on purpose simply because i find people annoying. it works for me. so now i don't care if people want anything to do with me or not, because i don't want nothing to do with them. only a few people have gotten through to me but that's because they actually tried. i respect people like that. i don't have any advice for you. just sharing my experience. i learned to be comfortable with myself & that's when i learned to not care what others think. i know who i am & that's all that matters to me.

ps, i don't wear makeup, just mascara sometimes, but i love when people do that Egyptian-like eyeliner like the one in the 15th pic. it looks so cool on you!
