I've said #1 to a friend...I just thought he was really quirky and awesome and had a strangely good memory for odd yet interesting facts!
But then again, I've also known a student who only has one ear and it took me a year and a half to notice that he only has one ear... so.... I'm not really sure what that says about me!
I get the same "Oh, you totally don't act depressed" when I tell people that's how I'm feeling. Or if I go "I need to leave I am going to panic" I get the "But you look like you're doing fine!". It's annoying and just makes you feel like you've been thrown into a cookie cutter that you don't fit in to.
