Besides having a tic people have mentioned certain looks I give them but not specifically what it is. I have never seen the looks in the mirror but I am guessing I am glaring angrily at them at times and my eyes also look in weird manners into peoples eyes. When I sense I am looking at people this way(they often looked scared) I look away and try to adjust my eyes by closing them and trying to look with a softer look. It doesn't always work. I wonder what is causing this. I don't know if it is another OCD thing but don't know how to classify this one. I don't intentionally do it and don't want to scare people. I don't seem to do it to everyone. It happens a lot and way more than the tic does. I don't know the answer to this. I feel like a big meany. Any ideas about this?

My sons used to tell me that I looked angry a lot when we were talking, which I wasn't. (well, of course there were certain times when I was). Think it is just what my face does when I am concentrating/focusing on what someone was saying. lol, I guess you could try crossing your eyes or something whenever someone looks scared...be interesting to see what their reaction to that would be.

Try chewing gum. I have a habit of silently mouthing my thoughts and am terrified of doing this in public. I always keep gum on hand just in case.

I have a similar problem.
My family and I have laughingly come to refer to it as 'Resting ****** Face'.
I can be totally Zenned out, at peace with the world, and apparently still look like I am actively seeking someone to murder.

I am currently working on smiling more, and making less eye contact. I am a very intense person by nature, and tend to make aggressive levels of eye contact without realizing it. I discovered both of these while taking an 'Interpersonal skills' course for work.

You might consider making a study of body language, your own and others.
Best of luck, I know how frustrating this kind of problem is.
Thanks for this!

I, too, have been working on making less eye contact and do try to smile.
