Is it just me, or does anyone else get a bad vibe from someone’s face and just know they’re not a good person?

This has been happening to me since I was young, and even now, if I don’t like their face, I always find out they’ll do something bad. Anyone else?

Diagnosed autistic here.
Regularly I'm being told that I look like I'm glum / angry / smirking / flirty / threatening whatever. Whilst I can experience all of those emotions the people making the observations are almost always feeding the wrong cipher into the Enigma machine... And getting a wildly incorrect answer. They're almost invariably, quite incapable of accepting that they got it wrong.
Every equal to the metaphorical guy who sees a woman in a short skirt, then reads a whole load of things into that about her character and intent. It gets tiring.

@Philth Very good point. 'Reading faces' is not a 'gift'...it's the application of previous experience in the belief that all cultures and people respond in fixed ways already encountered.
