clatterbane:

Reminded by youneedacat’s personal pain scale photos, which came up again recently.

Personal 6 or 7 (where I usually default to 4), probably most people’s 8-9, plus exhaustion. First there’s “I am trying hard to hold things together in public” Face, which seems to strike a lot of people as angry—but is really an overlay of concentration over having trouble controlling your expressions and going stonefaced. Then there’s “I just got home and shed the backpack, still some things to do” Face.

People who know me can tell that something’s wrong. Not necessarily what. People who don’t? No clue what they’re thinking, but it rarely seems to involve pain. That can be a problem. No idea in hell what they do expect there.

(Plus, yay forehead eczema! :-|)

Wow yeah I do read that as pain, in you.  In fact, as a hell of a lot of pain.
