Are you giving off a negative vibe without you meaning it? Have you always been told to smile when deep inside you are fine? Are people around you hesitant to approach because they think you are always mad? If you answer "yes" to all these questions, you are very likely afflicted with what has become known as the "angry resting face" (ARF).
ARF is what it says on the label: The person looks hostile (or registers total lack of interest) when his or her face is at rest. Even when thinking happy thoughts, people afflicted with ARF don't convey appropriate emotions and remain poker-faced, potentially offending strangers, ruining first impressions, and killing an atmosphere.
ARF may not appear a concern serious enough to merit treatment from an
aesthetic laser clinic, but on closer inspection, ARF can be a significant disadvantage in forming social relationships that are dependent on conveying emotions through body language and facial expressions. In the dating scene, for example, when interest is signalled by a flirtatious grin, a person with ARF will likely ward off potential mates instead of attracting them. Stories abound about wedding proposals gone awry because the one proposed to registered a facial expression of contempt and not the expected joy associated with the occasion. Conflict can arise when a customer service agent does not look friendly when attending to customer's needs. Potential employers may be turned off by a ruined first impression all because the candidate did not appear friendly during the interview.
It would take a bit of retraining to overcome ARF, and in severe cases a little help from
medical clinic in Singapore to remove angry-looking lines, but the effort is rewarded by genuine smiles from everyone concerned. If your ARF has lost you friends or potential mates, it's time you do something about it with these suggestions.
Practice face yoga or face PilatesWorking out your facial muscles to make it easier for you to turn up the corners of your mouth or to open your eyes wider will not necessarily reverse ARF, but it will make you mindful of the muscles you have that are capable of making you welcoming to others.
Keep constant reminders of things that make you happyNow that you are more conscious to make a smile every time you feel good, keep close at hand tools that will remind you of the things that you are thankful for or are making you happy. A smartphone can be that handy tool that will regularly remind you of things worth smiling about.
Consider filling unwanted lines with injectablesIn laser clinics in Singapore, filler treatment is popular for wrinkles, but they can also be used to relax facial tension. People who suffer from ARF usually have furrowed brows or scowl lines that they are not aware of making.
Dermal fillers like Botox or Juvederm can relax these muscles and turn that frown upside down or keep that forehead from looking angry even after just one treatment. The results are soft and naturally beautiful, and can make the person appear less threatening if not outright friendly.
