I think "confused" is too broad for this expression.
He looks like he just asked someone what a joke means because he doesn't get it, and they refused to tell him. It's almost a face of frustration stemming from confusion.
@ptz@nostupidquestions Oh no. I don't think I default to the Tucker Carlson confused face, but I'm a little worried that I might. I just signed on to a Teams meeting and my CEO immediately asked me why I looked confused.
It happens to me (I notice it on the webcam preview) when I'm not wearing my glasses. I guess I squint without realizing it, and that seems to give me that look. I've since started wearing my glasses when I'm on video calls lol.
My coworkers say that I've got resting murder face. When I'm just zoning out not paying attention to anything, I apparently look like I'm actively searching for something rusty to stab you with.
