Do you ever feel like your facial expressions don't match your emotions?

I often wonder if my face if communicating what I am trying to say with my mouth. Other times when I am just sitting still people will ask me if I'm bored when I'm perfectly content. I wonder if my facial expressions are betraying me.





Do you ever get this or wonder about what your facial expressions are saying to other people or am I just over analyzing?Do you ever feel like your facial expressions don't match your emotions?
you know i feel like that sometimes when i'm asked if i'm mad when i'm perfectly in good condition. My theory is that your phsycally tired but in mind your wide awake. Like how you can't sleep sometimes but you want to your so tired trying to sleep for hours and hours so you have to read a book or something to get mind worked out. So your not alone.Do you ever feel like your facial expressions don't match your emotions?
Alot. Some people think I am miserable when in fact I am feeling fine. It happened more when I was younger.
I understand that perfectly. Sometimes I try to act like a care or that something doesn't bother me and I am wondering if the person can tell otherwise.
It happens, and can really mess up your social life. Try having conversations with yourself in the mirror for a few minutes every day. That should recalibrate your facial expressions in no time.
i get it all the time, when im just sitting minding my own business my friends say i LOOK mean lol! but what am i to do, if i sit there smiling the whole day people will think im crazy lol!
nope
I'm always happy with a smile so ... no.





Trying using Smilex brand products to get a grin again and again.
yes, most of the time. Sometimes i dont even know how to react to some news so i try to make up a facial expression.


Apparently i am a very talkative person, so when im not speaking 'something is wrong'!


Also i usually day dream so people are always ask what i m thinking about!

YES!!! That happens to me all the time. People ask me if I am bored/sad simply b/c I'm quiet and day dreaming or something...
My face RARELY matches my emotions. I'm a psychologist, and as a psychologist, I learned to 'separate' my emotions from my facial expression, because there are times when what I 'feel' is the opposite of what I 'need to do' ... so while my face may be serious, I could be laughing inside, or crying ... but that 'serious' face is WHAT COUNTS with the person I'm talking with.
Yes! I used to be on the dance team in high school and after a long workout we would stop and listen to the lectures of the captains and band leaders and someone would always ask what's wrong. I couldn't figure out why unitil finally someone just said ';Are you ok? You look mad!';





It turns out that sometimes when I am at rest, my face turns into a mad expression. Weird.
i tend to just chill and people ask me the same kind of questions... like are you bored or is something wrong
Yep. I guess I'm always ';brooding'; even when I'm feeling fine. It makes for early lines in the forehead, as I'm learning.
I get that often. People think I am unhappy or mad all the time. But it is not that at all. I will be happy and feel happy, but I never saw the point in smiling. I feel as if it is just merely a reaction that our bodies have been taught to do - such as a dog wagging it's tail. I hate how we have to shape our actions to a standard set by society.





Then again, I could also be over analyzing
Haha i feel this all the time! Everyone says 2 me smile when my face is normal but im happy :\
yea, ppl. some times think im mad when im actually like, happy. LOL
actually i have the opposite problem.my face gives my mood away right away.i can't hide my feelings if i wanted to.
All the time!!! Thats why many people think I am mad when I am not or sad or bored or watev. It gets so annoying. And one day I tried to just smile all day and let me tell u a fake smile all day is more annoying than all the questioning!
OMG! Yes! Everyone should! It is a strange emotion and feeling! Justlike NOW! LOL
Yes yes yes! All the tI'me. I feel like I'm covering up for something even if im not intentionally trying to.
