facial tension?!

[blue]

I constantly worry about how my face looks:: It sounds so vile I know , and very embaressing just wondered if anyone else gets this

The more I worry the worse I look, so i constantly worry about looking worried and the more I do that the more my jaw aches and my forehead aches and the muscles around my mouth ache and when i look in the mirror i look terrible.....I battle with this alot and it really brings me down::::

I worry about this constantly. I either look totally blank or it appears like I'm giving someone the "uglies" even when it's completely unintentional(I try to recreate the facial expressions in a mirror at my first convenience afterwards...hahaha). It's the worst when I turn to look at someone at an angle or unexpected or sudden eye contact.

Any luck with this? I was thinking facial exercises might be the way to go, like what actors do to warm up.

yes,me neither,i always worry about how i look,i always look in mirror or other things when i walk by,lol,and the more i worry,the worse i think i look.when there's people around me,i usually try to hide my face with hood or hat,otherwise i feel so uncomfortable,start sweating,even if they doesnt pay attention to me.

I stutter, so I'm always thinking about how my face looks when I talk.
