askye at 09:34pm on 02/11/2004Today I was chatting with some people who work in the building and one guy asked if something was wrong, I said no and a chick I chat with on a regular basis said "She never smiles, unless she's talking." And this frustrates me.
I don't frown on purpose, but when I just stand with my mouth closed I look like I'm frowning. If I had a choice I'd have one of those mouths that turns up at the corners so it looks more neutral. If I try to show a slight smile I end up feeling like I'm the Joker.
Normally I don't wear make up but are there any kind of tricks I can use to make me look happier? I know keeping my eyebrows waxed makes a difference, that seems like a small thing but evidentally it makes some kind of difference. Today was the last straw, I'm tired of looking unapproachable and people assuming I'm upset or mad all the time.

I have no solutions (other than maybe a face lift?), but if you get some, let me know.

The same things happens to me all the time. I usually tell people that I'm just a serious person.
Really, it probably comes from the Slavic genes.
