confounded face
confounded face meaning
Scrunched, X-shaped eyes and a zigzag mouth — frustration and exasperation rendered physically. It is the face of something not working, an argument you cannot win, or a mistake you keep repeating. It carries a strong note of self-directed annoyance, so it is often used to complain about your own behaviour rather than anyone else's.

It carries a strong note of self-directed annoyance, so it is often used to complain about your own behaviour rather than anyone else's. It is more agitated than disappointment and less explosive than anger.
