It's annoying that my mom is always asking me what's wrong when there's nothing wrong. I just always look like I'm upset and it gets annoying when people tell me to smile.

Any fellow aspies here have a natural frown?

Yes, yes, yes! Lifelong problem. I have tried altering my eyebrow hair line, but the eye brow muscles are still visible when I frown, which I do when thinking, not just when angry. I think altering my eye brow hair line only helps a little bit, but better that than no help at all.

Yep, I have this issue as well, then again, to be honest with my life in such a ditch Its hard NOT to have a frown.

Its ironic as when I was younger it was the compete opposite. Always heard comments about me always having a cheerful face.

I've had a friend leave a comment on a picture on facebook asking if it'd kill me to smile for once. People say it takes less muscle to smile but it honestly feels like it's the other way around for me. So I really never do unless I'm laughing at something funny or if it's something like a family or vacation photo or whatever. Been trying to give small smiles at least to seem a little friendly to strangers.

I had a girl a couple years ago now who kept trying to get me to smile, when all I wanted was food.

And I had a person a week ago comment on facebook "don't you dare smile" sarcastically since I wasn't smiling in a picture.

Smiling comes very easy to me if I am genuinely happy or pleased with something. However that is seldom, and when I am thinking or concentrating I often look "Angry". This has been commented on so much in my life that I 'hide' to go think so people don't constantly bother me about it.

Yep, I have this problem too. People ask me what's wrong when I just have a neutral expression.

Oh man I frown all the time. It's due to muscular tension. (I'm tense in the upper back so I slouch too)

I have thick eyebrows so it adds to the effect. It's less an issue when I take Diazepam though.
I have been told that I was agressive when I was cool, all my life, it's unnerving to say the least.
