People tell me all the time that I never seem happy or engaged, that I always look like I'm sad about something, especially at parties or in groups. The thing is, I'm rarely unhappy. Usually, I'm engaged in what is going on or observing it a lot, so my focus is on them and not on my own body or expression. My default face is kind of neutral-sad-pensive looking, so everyone perceives me as being upset. When I'm in groups, I don't feel attached to the others, so when everyone else is thrilled, I'm usually just observing them. I can't help looking this way, and I'm getting a little annoyed always explaining to people that I'm not upset or bored or angry at them when I'm not smiling.
Does anyone else have a default facial expression when they aren't explicitly feeling one way? Does it get you in trouble or cause other people to be confused, and do you have a way of explaining it or fixing it?
I just wanna thank you for making this post. I felt like I was just weird. My GF always says I look pissed off. Her mom thinks I hate her. F in story of my life
