I suppose the root of this is how well you can hide your true emotions.
Wherever I go, I must look miserable because so many people seem to comment on it.
In the last job I had, I was told my my 'superior' that I had a constant scowl on my face and that I was "scaring the customers away". (I think he was joking about the latter part). Then the other day I was waiting for some take-away food and the guy serving me said "Cheer up, it might never happen", to which I replied "Do I look miserable"? He said in quite an assured way, "Yeah just a bit".
My parents are also always telling me to smile, but I often simply can't be bothered. The way I see it, if a smile doesn't come naturally then what's the point in faking it?? Obviously if you're a person in a very public/people orientated position then you have to, but I'm not.
Anyway, that was a long-winded way of asking you how your facial expressions are perceived by the people around you.
