How expressive are you? Do you have a more neutral face when speaking with others, or do your expressions change often?

 

[an illegible mess.]

as an autistic person, i find myself either not being that expressive, or giving the wrong expression without realizing. for example, i can look shocked or upset when i'm actually happy. it's kind of weird lol.

yea i used to be so bad at conveying facial expressions. got myself a mirror to train my face muscles to look appropriate the emotion i'm feeling and i think that investment has paid off a bit throughout the years. (e.g. i taught myself how to smile properly lol.)

I have a big, fleshy animated face with a broad smile. It's an honest face and emotive, strong feelings like sadness or humor, happiness or excitement tend can be read in my expression I think as plainly as the nose of my face. I'm also told my voice is calming.

I'm not very expressive myself.

I happen to have a blank/neutral resting face, which isn't fun when combined with the fact that I look down slightly as I walk, usually with my hands in my pockets. It makes people think that I'm sad. Most of the time when this happens, I am not sad.

I have resting bitch face, so I try and smile most of the time to hide it.
I don't want people misinterpreting me.

I'm not particularly expressive. I've kind of build up the habit to smile a lot which at times comes off as really out of place. This can sometimes make people not taking me seriously (e.g. suspecting me of lying when I don't) or even infuriate them when they get the feeling that I'm not taking them seriously.

It just reminds me every time how much work I still have to put into all things socially...

This. Although I am extremely inexpressive to the point where even if I think I'm smiling or something I'm probably not. It's been quite the bother for myself and others at times :')

somewhat expressive. most of the time i have a neutral face, but my most expressive state is whenever im happy bc i tend to act very excitable lol

 

[Fleurdelis]

just like my avatars on this forum, i rarely ever smile

but then there are moments when im literally dying of laughter

but smiling.. no that is cursed

I've never been very overly expressive but over the years I've trained myself to appear more expressive than I actually am. People prefer someone who's more reactive than I am naturally so I've just learned over the years how to fake it.
