How to stop coming across moody?

[Moody12]

Can I have advice please. I don’t know if it’s true but I’m assuming it is and want to change it. Personality wise I’m very sensitive, kind and caring. I cry over things I see on tv and read in newspapers. I would do anything for my family and friends. I have in the past been too naive and been taken advantage of which I think has led me to know in my 40’s apoesr moody. DH said when I talk to people I seem moody, how can I change this? How can I be less moody

Are you feeling moody or irritable when you’re talking to people?

@FigsOfFury I don’t feel irritated. Maybe I’m worrying about things and it looks like I’m moody

Do you have deep frown lines? Makes you look moody even if you’re not.

My DP is like this. His tone of voice/facial expressions, everything screams moody and I’ll say “what’s wrong?” and he’ll always say “nothing, why?”.
And I’m like… your face looks like thunder that’s why 😂

Is it just your DH saying it or others as well?
What does he mean by moody - sad, changeable, prickly, sensitiive?

Who's your audience, eg people who know you know, just met etc

If it's people you already know, mention something up front to show them ithr way you appear and how you feel is two different things, eg say you've just heard the phrase "resting bitch face" and think that explains why pp keep telling you to smile more and you haven't known why.

Smiling more in general, especially at the beginning of the meet up, will give the impression that you're happy although not too much or you could look a bit unhinged 😁

Try and smile more and use open body language if this is something you feel you need to change. Or if you have good friends and good relationships with family maybe just keep being you.

Does he mean grumpy? Just trying to work it out.

There’s no chance he’s trying to undermine your confidence is there?

If not, I agree with trying to smile and think about what you say, does he mean you complain about things and seem miserable or that you seem like you don’t want to talk to them?
