If you're someone who is emotionally very sensitive, this sensitivity can be an asset to form relationships. Use your sensitivity to show empathy for others. Do not suppress emotions, trying to be cool. Do not waste your sensitive nature, particularly sensitive only to yourself and your emotions. Imagine being in the shoes of the person you're talking to, and let them feel the sadness, happiness, excitement or pride that is present in the story you're telling.

If we repress all our emotions to show our face, people will feel frustrated trying to get a sense of who we really are. When we let our emotions appear on our face, sharing our joys and sorrows interlocutor, anxieties and frustrations, as well as their hope and excitement, both for us to feel less alone. Both people will feel more connected to each other.

Sometimes we worry about our facial expressions. We sense that our smile looks forced, or makes us look nervous. They may fear that we do not smile enough, or that we frown too much.

One way you can control the facial expressions is to have yourself videotaped in conversation with another person. When you examine the tape, your smile is not forced or natural? You look very serious? You are able to portray a sense of fun and carefree?

If you are unable to effectively analyze the tape alone, someone you trust to give some feedback.

If you think your facial expression, could be improved, you can practice in front of a mirror. Watch your face as you imagine yourself feeling various positive and negative emotions. Imagine hearing a very funny joke. Or win the lottery. Or receiving a compliment. The next meeting. As a gift. Having a secret.

Also imagine experiencing negative situations and watch your facial expressions in the mirror. Exaggerate them. Return to imagine the positive emotions. Are you normally this expressive? Do not let other people see the real you? Or you try to hide from everyone? Do you like the person you see in the mirror?

Your smiles and other facial expressions will be more natural and more attractive when they are relaxed rather than tense. If you get nervous when talking with others, you may want to practice body relaxation techniques until you can easily relax at will. Consciously tell all the muscles in your body to relax, even if you have to give instructions to mentally all over the body, one section at a time. When you're with other people, let your mental focus will be to enjoy the situation you are in, rather than imagining what others think of you, or worrying what you mean.

Let emotions come from deep inside you and spread your face, rather than trying to artificially produce facial expressions.
