My facial expressions give me away all the time, so much so that people can even tell what I'm thinking, how can I rectify this?

To some this might seem very silly. I am feeling really sad about it. I have such an expressive face and eyes. Everyone (all and sundry) end up knowing what I am really thinking. I was hoping someone could help me to correct this problem. It's creating havoc in my life. Thanks for your help in advance.

Why don't you take a night class on acting to learn to impersonate characters so that you will not be so revealing.

I'm the same way- people can tell what I am feeling in an instant and it is very annoying. As the other poster wrote, try to practice in a mirror in order to work on your facial features. If you find yourself in a situation that could cause you to make a certain facial expression, try to focus or think about something pleasant or something that makes you feel content. (So that you appear to have a pleasant/neutral expression.) Otherwise if you can't work it out, just accept that you have a very expressive face. You could try out for your community theater and be in a play!

i can sympathize with your problem. I too have had this problem. I was known for showing my every feeling but I overcame it by sheer will power. I faced a situation where i had to sit under someone for 6~8 hrs per week who was intent on destroying me emotionally. During this 2 yr period of time i learned to hide behind an expressionless facade. That was 6 yrs ago, and i do hide my pain and distresses well now. Practice with a mirror as silly as it may sound, i found it very helpful. I know it can be done. Good luck! Mal
