I'm not sure whether this should go here or in work, but if it needs moving, please do!
I had some training at work today and one of the things that came up is body language and facial expressions. The trainer noticed that I have this kind of "thinking" face which, basically, makes people actually worry about me and whether I'm ok (it's my depression face, but I wasn't about to tell her that). And now that she's mentioned it and kind of hinted that it's something I need to work on because it might put people off from approaching me / work negatively against me and also recently lots of people keep asking if I'm okay because my face isn't it's usual self I'm really worried.
So I need to work on a kind of 'work' or 'happy' face - because when I smile I'm "a completely different person". So when should I present this smiley face? What can I do to present myself better in a room full of colleagues?

" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "
