    I have resting angry face and shave my head, so in my case I’ve taken to wearing lots of bright, friendly colours. Magenta, chartreuse, etc.

    Then also being extra extra friendly when meeting folks for the first time. I’ve seen people’s faces in real time realising I’m not a shithead haha.

      Thank you so much! It’s of great reassurance to know I’m on the right track with the damage control!

      Honestly, wearing black has profound sentimental value to me and I kinda’… don’t really like how colours look on me (very pallid complexion with lobster-like highlights in the summer…) Do wear the occasional red T-shirt or mustard yellow top layer, but it’s mostly just flat black…

      As for my facial situation, I try to be aware of it and either offer a polite smile when I notice someone’s looking at me (especially love making silly faces at kids, I hope that doesn’t come off as creepy…), or just be friendly and open if someone chooses to interact. Genuinely like being polite.
