I have always a problem with facial expressions. When I hold facial expressions a certain way, people always think that I am angry. I never could figure this out. I always got angry whenever people thought I was angry when I held my facial expressions a certain way. Then the other person got angry, in turn it got me even angrier.
Is anyone else is having trouble with facial expressions?

Yes, so much yes! People are constantly telling me to "cheer up" this face is just my face, it doesnt mean anything! Doesnt matter how I am actually feeling it always looks the same.

I have the same issue. Folks think my regular face is a mad face. Then when I try to cheer it up a bit, people think it's a smug face.

Nowadays I look into a mirror and practice using pictures on the Internet that are tied to emotions.

My husband always tells me I look l like I'm disappoving. It's just my natural face. My mouth naturally turns down. I have to really work at remembering to smile so people don't think I'm grumpy.
