How do I look more approachable?

I want more chances to get to know people I guess or to look more approachable because I'm a shy/quiet person and people like to assume I'm moody when that's just my face idk I would just like some tips. 😂

This is a tough one. I struggle with this as well. Always been told I look like a B*tch. Lol! Do you have anybody who could introduce you to people?

maskedjinn, There's nothing better than a warm smile in breaking the ice with others.

If you could manage a "Hello" that would be step two. Good Luck, take small steps until you feel comfortable xx

Just smile and look amused

Smiling always breaks the ice! Maybe wearing something fun with playful colors would be welcoming🤗

Get a professional hair cut. Shop in a fashionable but inexpensive store and find a current fashion that also expresses your inner self well.

Get a public facing job like customer service that will require you to interact with many many people daily.

But, if you're an introvert that likely won't change, and why should it. Seek jobs and social activities that cater to more shy, thoughtful and introverted people. Do activities ad follow websites, etc. that nurture the real you, shy introverted and gentle, and you may suddenly find yourself in a room full of like minded people.

I don’t think you need to have a smile on your face all day. Your face would probably cramp up before morning ended. But catch someone’s eyes, give a smile, and either give a nod or say hello or how are you. It doesn’t take much. Simplicity can go a long way.

Yes, I can understand that. My daughter says I have a "resting bitch" face! 😀 It's probably just because I'm a bit scared of people. I try to smile n say goodmorning to most of my Neighbours. Some will answer n then I mention the Weather. Sometimes it starts a conversation n even the odd friendship. There are always those people who just give you a dirty look. But, that's life. Good luck. 😊🌻👍

How about when you're out & about put a smile on your face? I hope this is of some help for you. Love, peace, light, joy & hugs!
