Anyone else have trouble expressing facial expressions?

[Volatile]

My face is pretty much always neutral. For years I've been isolated, so my resting face became permanent. It's also more comfortable than smiling, frowning, etc. I find moving my face to be exhausting. I'll throw in a smile or 2 when conversing with someone, but I kinda do it randomly hoping that it's an appropriate time.

My default facial expression is a chronic resting bitch face. No matter how hard I practiced to change it I can't manage it.

I'm glad you mentioned this. It's not just me then. I'm sure my face doesn't move like it used to. It's got less used to smiling so seems to really work the face muscles when I do. I make expressions in public just to try and look less miserable but it feels forced and I imagine only draws more attention

I walk around with a blank lost stare on my face constantly. My aunt says I look "haunted".

I have severe resting bitch face.

I don't know if I have this... I've a hard time smiling for pictures, though, it always looks phony. Maybe I do have this problem. I'm quite bad at reading facial expressions too.

My therapist once said I am expressionless. I've been told multiple times that I'm "robotic". Truthfully, I alternate not emoting at all to being very dramatic. I am somewhat afraid of my own facial expressions because they can trigger intrusive thoughts. how pathetic is this

yes, but it's always been like that, depression only worsened the situation
