I am a good looking female, I'm very shy and I don't smile much. These 3 things have really screwed up peoples perception of me.
I don't smile much, not because I'm miserable or anything.... But its mostly due to nerves. I feel uncomfortable around new people, I'm still not really sure why. But this makes me come off like I'm very stuck on myself and unfriendly which is actually far from the truth once you get to know me. I feel so rude, because sometimes people will actually look right at me and smile and I just stare and them because I'm too nervous to smile back. I know it sounds very strange, but it actually happens.
How can I fix this problem? Has anyone else experienced the same kind of thing? I used to have a lot of friends, and I was extremely confident in social situations and it just flowed through me. But now I'm having to work my way to get back up there. Any advice would be helpful, thank you :)
