Hi. When I walk past people (and sometimes talk with), I usually have a blank face expression. How do you make a normal one?

lightly practice in front of a mirror. casually, without overdoing.

instead of trying hard, try diagonally, this kind of thing. :D

allow it to stay subtle and real, instead of projecting too much like a poor actor

I have a grouchy facial expression, apparently.

Me too - especially when I'm deep in thought. I feel relaxed and happy while thinking really deeply about something but I look really grumpy according to others (who frequently ask me if I'm all right).

@ W91T - the only solution I've come up with which seems to work reliably is to remember to smile just a little when visible to others. It feels kind of odd at first but it really changes the way people respond in all sorts of situations. I've made it a personal rule now and I feel that it's really helpful.

Thank you for answering! I am also told that I sometimes have an angry face. I'm going to try your advice.
