How do you make yourself look happy?

[BlahUgh]

Sometimes people tell me that I look like I'm sulking, mad or sad when I'm out in public, but I'm usually not actually mad or sad about anything, its just the way my face looks sometimes. I have a feeling this is negatively impacting how others percieve me and react to me (especially girls). Just the other day this cashier asked me what was wrong, and said that I looked sad, which was a little bit of a shock to me since I wasn't thinking about anything sad at the time.

Yeah it sucks it happens to me aswell i think some peoples neutral faces just look sad, not on purpose its just the way you where born. You can try and keep a smile or slight grin on you face for the day, but when i try this my face gets sore after awhile and i go back to my neutral face. I dont think theres is anyway to overcome this other than trying to atleast speak in a good mood, like when your speaking to the cashier.

uh, "think of something that makes you happy" would be the obvious answer to that one. think of a time in your life where you felt on top of the world, 10ft tall and bulletproof.

also, the cashier may have been trying to start some smalltalk, could have been an IOI you just missed out on. never know.
