| I don't really. It takes a lot to make me laugh. I've been told that my neutral face looks like I'm really mad. I find it extremely hard to smile when I'm getting my picture taken. I seriously can't smile unles it's genuine. The only time I find it easy to express myself and have an expressive face is when I'm drunk or high. I'm serious, my best photos are of me when I'm drunk. I can sometimes take web cam photos of me and look half decent but I have to be alone and focused. |

Nah, I've pretty much got the just the one expression. It's been pointed out by a couple people that they can read my mood from my body; hands shake and back goes painfully stiff when I'm upset or anxious, rock back and forth and mess with my hair when I'm lost in thought (stimming? never been 100% clear about what constitutes that), use my hands a lot when I'm happy. But I've got the same blank/neutral look on my face the whole time.
People often try to read my emotional state from my face. It's annoying when they get it wrong. Aggravating when I tell them how I'm really feeling and they refuse to believe me. |

I can make the craziest of faces. And I'm pretty awesome when my friends are with me.
I actually had a very interesting moment today. Today was a new trimester for school and I walked into my English class, unable to look at anyone and I just sat down very quickly by the door. When I'm in a situation like that, my face is normally blank but with a look of utter terror in my eyes. I was then approached for an introduction activity. Still staring blankly and talking monotone.
But then a friend came over that I didn't see was there, and suddenly I burst with expression!
I think it can be a very conditional thing. Like me. I'm only ever expressive when around friends and my immediate family. |

I can make a lot of weird and silly faces, i have a lot of expressions even to the point that its super easy to read my mood by just looking at my face, so i don't think you're unusual, i mean every person is different right :D?
Well have a nice day :o |

I often think that I'm giving people a big smile but then they say "SMILE!" and I wonder what's going wrong

| Yes, but the expressions on my face have nothing to do with what I am feeling inside. But most of the time my face is impassive with a bored and lost look. |

I'm usually pretty readable, but I have the same facial expression when I'm tired and sad. Sometimes I mimic people's expressions without realizing it when I'm very tired  |

| Wow, I'm surprised by the poll results. I put sometimes because it's only when I drop my defences around people I know well that I find myself smiling or frowning or generally reacting in an "organic" way, if that makes sense. The rest of the time I feel like I'm forcing fake expressions. |

| I thought my facial expressions were normal until a girl I worked with said "I could watch you talking all day, all the weird faces you make! " Now I'm quite self conscious about it and try and be aware of it! |

I am typically stone faced expressionless, and I am occasionally told to smile even though I'm happy on the inside. I could absolutely detest the presence of a person and they would never know it because I'm not really sure how to show it.
I have learned to emulate others and over exaggerate many of my facial expressions because it helps other people understand me better. Anybody else develop any coping skills like this? |

| Much of the time I have a facial expression quite similar to my avatar. I have been told by one person that I have "a Hannibal Lecter stare" (an impudent assertion!), but never having watched that movie, I don't know. |
