When I walk in the hallways at school, I always have that "tired" look. And people tell me it looks evil, like I am some boring, mean person. It's because I am always tired. I can't help but have a plain look on my face, but when I don't smile I look scary! I think that's why I can't make a lot of friends because they assume I just hate everyone.
What can I do?? I can smile but I don't want to look like a hyper and happy girl with a smile on her face 24/7. How can I look friendly without scaring people or looking weird?

But anyway, there are ways to look friendly and not tired, without smiling. Watch your posture... standing up really straight makes a lot of difference, you won't look tired, you'll look determined. Raise your eyebrows a little. Keep your mouth closed. Tilt your face up. And if that doesn't do anything, it's okay to smile a little bit... if you've ever been on stage or looked at pictures, you'll know that people have to REALLY feel like they're smiling and try hard to have people notice that they're actually smiling, it's never as noticable as you think it is.
