Acting strong and being annoyed and arrogant are two different things
If you learn to differ between them yourself you're good
Of course, human communication skills are also important to realise and know, you don't expect people to know what's on your mind always if you aren't exactly good at it, so sometimes you cannot blame people. It's not anyone's fault, but one or both the sides has to have to learn human behaviour and communication skills, as it is extremely important in life, impressions, actions, expressive patterns and expressions.
You don't LOOK strong if you showed annoyance at everything, strength can be presented in many different emotions and skills, such as determination, skills, calculating, sympathizing abilities, creativity, anger management (important), coping abilities (physically or mentally), courage, caution, positivity...etc but most importantly being able to get up after you fall.
Now now I seem to have got a little of topic
But you have to know
If dealing with people bothers you then maybe you can work to learn how to present yourself in a more clear better way that suits you people won't misunderstand you with. I mean can you blame them too? They aren't in your brain and the people who aren't close to you won't have REASONS to start to figure you out.
Do not expect the other party to change for you. Life just never worked that way.
Anyways I just want to say, being annoyed or showing annoyance towards everything or coming off as a little aggressive won't exactly resemble strength it'd actually show people that you are over defensive and intolerant or maybe ever arrogant. It isn't your fault remember. But if you want a better change, you have to work on that.
There WILL be people however who would understand you just the way you are, those are great as well lol.
hope that helped^^
And stay strong [wink] just present it the better way
Stay positive. This life is a challenge after all! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

OMG thanks for the lengthy advices! Yes people who understand do exist. I look annoyed but I am not even in the slightest annoyed just delayed reaction because I tend to daydream/thinking of my reaction. My strong personality is due to me being too outspoken and too much leadership in my blood lol and combine those ahshsgsyeg my loved ones said that my thinking face looks like I am annoyed when I was just thinking.
I hope you getting better with your depression!

Awwwwwww first thanks for the little statement at the end there
It sure made my day.
And yeah I just think lengthy responses are more uh.. heartfelt when I write them? And like, I love details.
And btw, I'm so relieved you already met those people who understand you. See? There's hope!^^
Hmmmm so it's a matter of a face reaction, that's.. oh gosh that's so cute! ahahaha ><
I can't help but find your situation a little ironic or, it's just something cute to be misunderstood for.
You mentioned something about outspoken and leadership.. first of all, can you think of how exactly they misunderstand you and like how often did you parties interact?
How they reacted or like the "results" of that happening?
Could it be they mistake your strong leadership trait for being controlling or pushy? What do you think?
(Now remember I'm just a stranger so I have little information)
How is it affecting you? Are you okay? (Important question)
This might be silly, but if it's severely affecting your life, ever tried to look for solutions on how to react to situations? They COULD be helpful. Nevertheless, if I were you and it is really making the majority of people uncomfortable maybe training yourself would work your expression I mean, or maybe I would have just randomly blurted it out if I sense discomfort on the other person I'm conversing with, like "just to be clear, I accidentally give an annoyed face when I'm thinking so sorry in advance XD" like the weirdo I am. I'd like to stay clear.
It's probably no, but have you ever thought of ways to make it better? If you DO have any we can discuss them out when we can uk! ^^
Lol make use of this comment section XD

ohmygoodness. Before i answer you, i just wanna say you are such a good soul and to be able to give me this long caring questions and asking me the MOST IMPORTANT questions is so warming!! I LOVE YOU!! No one ever asked me this questions.
Yes!! Tbh, people thot I was overbearing, pushy and controlling to the point of fearing me They act all goody in front of me but they talked behind my back saying things abt my personality. It was in high school tho. But it affected me more and more as I went thru university. I become reclusive and more anxious as I met with meeaner peopleeeee
Those personality traits I mentioned earlier is gone. I just left with my annoyed thinking face now so I avoid interacting with people sometimes. I know my story is taking a complete 180 but that’s how it is. From annoyed face + strong personality (kind of) into reclusive and anxious 26 years old

I appear arrogant and too confident in myself everytime apparently while I very doubt myself a lot in fact. I'm not confident in my abilities and I know that there are too many people better than me. It's just that I won't show it to others because this is what I think unnecessary to show. That's a weakness after all. Who wants to show their weakness?
But since I'm like that, I pity those who are judged because of their "arrogant" personnality. Most of the time, they doesn't trust other and their "arrogance" is just a shield to their weak mindset. So I like those spoiled kids. While no one likes them.
Now people should learn how to see only positive points in the others. x')
Btw the fl here is absolutely amazing. I like lazy geniuses. They are really funny and impressive.
Hate to sound hateful but I dislike her personality
She's somewhat annoyed by everything
