People are individuals with different actuation and mannerisms. Some look funny even without smiling, some are too serious and some look sad.
Are you someone who looks serious that sometimes people are aloof even if they want to approach you?
I sometimes look at a person and feel aloof because the person is too serious and seem unapproachable. I am sometimes like that but if I finally smile people will say, "I thought you don't know how to smile."

I used to be a serious person in my teenage because I was told by someone that if I will make funny faces people will laugh at me and If i would make serious faces people will admire me.
Well, later I came to know that it is not your face but your work what people laugh at or admire!
So, now I am not a person with a serious look on my face!

I can consider myself serious when it comes to important matters in life. But in a casual or bonding moments, I make a lot of good and clean fun. I like laughing and making people laugh. It releases my worries and feels fulfilled.

I think most of the time I look lost, or focused. I don't think I look serious but I def. keep to myself. I think that its safer to keep to ones self sometimes... I do have trouble though with work since I have a hard time reading people. Some people just look way to into their thoughts for me to interrupt. Sometimes I just don't even want to talk to certain people cause they just look rude. I think it doesn't matter so much the way you look as the way you act. I say hi to customers all the time and never get a response. So I guess I go more off of that than their appearance.

I am joyful and I love to smile but my natural face mimic looks a bit sad and cold. Nothing I can do about my look, so I have to remember to do a smile more often. I might look sad because of my lips going down a bit, like this
But my eyes are full of joy and sparkles so the general effect when someone's looking at me is positive. Well, I hope it is

hello masmasika
i try to be nice and friendly to everybody when that i am out in public somewhere. but one has to be careful in today's world especially if we are out and about shopping or going back and forth to work or whatever the case may be that one might happen to be out doing, you never know what is going to happen to you these days when that you leave the house. lol you know? i am not trying to wish any bad luck upon anybody, but anything could happen at anytime. lol but i guess that i am a more serious person than a non-serious person. i do not know which kind of personality would be the best one to have. but with the way things are these days right now, one has lots to be serious about.
take care and have a beautiful evening.

I am not even a little bit serious. Sometimes I am on the shy side, but even when I am supposed to be serious I am usually not

I'm laid back yet serious about the things I am passionate about. Though, I was told once by a friend that I looked like a Samurai with my brow furrowed lol. I can't say how I took it but I think it was a compliment.
I think that there are definately times you need to be serious, but you can do so with laughter. I think about teaching and I can say that I'm serious, on task, yet I try to have a good amount of fun with the teaching.
Of course, the best like I heard recently in a movie was "Why so serious" stated by the Joker in The Dark Knight. I think he had a point. (In an odd way).

I think that I am a very serious person. I am always consentrating on something. I don't mind when people approach me though. People usually tell me to smile or ask me why I don't.
