Sitting at home yesterday, my relatives on skype began the awkward conversation of marriage and the ''right type of woman'' i should marry (FYI my parents are Asian). They were asking whether i liked white british women (they obviously want me marry an Asian), and i was like "no of course not" while in my head i was saying "no, because i like boys instead". After a fairly long conversation, i realized i was becoming a little upset, and could have been crying on the inside until i realized that my face was completely straight with a smile on. Turns out i have an excellent poker face. My friends have picked up on it actually while playing poker and said that it is sometimes difficult to read my emotions. Have i been so wrapped up in hiding my true feelings from everyone that i have become an expert at it? All these lies i guess have required a poker face. Funnily enough i am proud of my ability to do so. Does anyone else find they have become exceedingly good at lying? Any fellow poke faces out there?
Lucky you! Whenever I'm asked a question about women I get super awkward but it seems like nobody notices? I have a terrible poker face. Have you ever played the card game Cheat (or Bullshit)? Every time I lie I end up laughing my face off.. :/ Oh and hi-5 to also being a 20 year-old gay male Asian!
LOL at that!! I know the feeling so well. I avoid any kind of situations that would actually require me to lie, so I can't say I'm expert in it. What I usually do is not tell the truth instead. And yes, I have a poker face. You can hardly tell any emotions from it. Though, unlike you, I usually don't have a smile on. My friends got used to it eventually and now they joke about it. Like, if they are hanging in a pub and I come in, they will say "Hey, Joe and his famous smile are here!" or something along the lines. Now, my family is a different story. They know I don't smile without a good reason but they still ask me if everything's ok everytime they see me. It can be annoying.
I guess you probably think you are more awkward than you actually are, or they may just think you are too shy to talk about such things? My friends think i am so they dont ask too often. yeah i've played it. In a fun situation i'm not that straight faced, but when its required... haha thanks. Thankfully i live in London rather than Pakistan :s
