If I'm looking at someone like I wanna kill them, then unquestionably I do not like that person. Mostly, I've been told I have a "serious" face. But that's how my face is most of the time.
Randomnity is a mod you know, and she is right above you. Infact she is the one who raised the question. Gosh Elfboy?oopsie! I'll ask the mods to move it

could you move this thread to the SP Arthouse? arrigato gozaimas!
Only if the person is someone I consider to be a despicable excuse for a human being. Luckily, I meet these kinds of people very rarely, but I've had a few recent encounters where I've wanted to stab some people in the heart.
In fact, I have a friend who is acquainted with such people and insists on inviting me out when they are around. I have had to decline these invitations because I know I'd want to fucking kill one of them over the course of the night (which is weird because, despite how I may come across on the forum, I'm actually very tolerant and, well, jolly/jokey IRL. It takes a certain type of person to make me act overtly like an asshole.)
Then again, I might actually be an ESTP, so take the shit I say with a grain of salt.
the problem with this question is some people look at a sheepdog and they look at a wolf and all they can think is "they both have sharp teeth."
really, i smile most the time. i'm typically described as having a grin, occasionally looking "cocky" (according to the people in vent), sometimes I get intense. i smile and laugh a lot.

regardless of all this, yes, i form contingencies around violence as needed, but i'm selective toward whom it's directed. you need to spend a little time planning for bad things, but you don't need to be constantly pissed off all the time or something. people like that are crazies looking for a fight (or in constant combat).

ISTPs aren't angry and desiring to kill others... they are usually just in thinking and observing mode, and as such they aren't concerned about how their face appears. I notice a similar blankness to INTJs and INTPs when they are heavily thinking.
I feel like a threat can hit me at anytime when I'm around people so I'm usually very aware of my surroundings in big social settings, my buddy tells me I look like I am willing to throw down at any moment I guess it's anger/pissed off look? who knows. Large social settings are very draining for me.
It helps to know when and how to be aware. Otherwise you'll drain yourself trying to track every detail. A part of this is making guesses on what will likely require attention and what won't.
But I always find things like large social settings and also driving in traffic that there's always something about to happen whether it's someone whos about to cut you off or not let you in or somebody giving you dirty looks at a party for whatever reason. Usually in these casses I'm the most aware of my surroundings.
Well sure, there are near constant hazards of various kinds to avoid, but how "on edge" do you really have to be to be aware of them? To deal with them?
I suppose I'm responding to the point that your friend said you look like you are ready to "throw down" at any moment. I don't know how that works for you but I'm just saying that you can maintain alertness/preparedness without verging into twitchy territory - at some point getting too stimulated can actually hurt performance. A three-pound brain can only process so much at one time.
I'm told I look scary sometimes. More often told I look really focused. I suppose people could compare the look to the stereotypical quiet hit-man or killer type person in movies. Like the scary guy in "No Country for old Men" or whatever. Not saying they are ISTP at all. Just the focused look.
