Why people have trouble reading neutral faces

I'm similar. I have bitchy resting face. I used to do that (raise eyebrows, etc) when I was younger. The wonderful thing about aging, is you don't really care what other people think anymore; at least not as much as you used to.

I remember the first time someone verbalized about my completely relaxed face. I was miles away, daydreaming, and one of my friends touched my shoulder and asked if I was alright. I told her yes, and asked why. She said I just looked really sad.

So apparently I have resting sad face.

I also stopped caring sometime in my 40s but my unfriendly and nervous appearance definitely has cost me a lot of opportunities in life.
