> It really bothers me when people at work tell me to smile, and they give you that old cliche how it takes more muscles to smile than to frown. I used to tell them that I didn't have a smile to give them, but now I say that I'm giving my face a workout.

People would tell me that, as they were dumping on me. Probably because I was a minority and utnumbere 1000 to 1.I can't smile with my eyes. If Itry to smile with my mouth, i look very creepy in combo with my mean, angry, tense, eyes. You seem like you are on the right track. The eyes are the key I think. Windows to the soul and all that jazz. I hate being flypaper for abusive assholes. I'm 35, and it still happens. I hate humanity.
