You don't have a game face? I guess you never had to lie to cops and enemies.
That was literally my life as an early teen unfortunately so idk why you're trying to imply fam ...

The way I do it is by pretending their is an audience watching me, and the best way to get ratings is to be a likeable person. You have to learn to switch that shyt on, whether you need to think about cartoons you watched as a kid or mentally recite jokes. There are ways to soften your face without having to outright smile.

Green you are a very intelligent young man and you have a beautiful smile... I think you just have a BRF.

That's something that you can't help. I too suffer from a chronic case of BRF. Do you know how many people tell me to smile or stop thinking so hard? LOL.

You have to do what I done. Make direct eye contact and smile without smirking.

Do you make direct eye contact with the people you talk to? Just trying being more lighthearted. You seem like you might be really serious alot.
Thanks for the complement PR :hug:


But yeah I've been trying to reduce the level of seriousness I use when approaching most situations for a while .. I tend to think and contemplate alot in instances where it may not be necessary sometimes which might distract me from how my expression looks towards others ... maybe if I improve on that like you said it might help :ld:

Smile with your eyes:jawalrus: more subtle less fake/cornballish

Nah, I go with the people can't read me or tell how I feel game face.

I've been around people who I hated their guts and they aint even know it...I'm not two faced so I breezed and was only just cordial.

This is an interesting topic, I can learn alot from this thread...I've been rejected by so many jobs I've lost count..

.I've always had problems for a number of reasons...I'm not really good at playing the game....Im bad at hiding my frustrations during interviews, even when I do the fake smile thing I know the interview see the irritation in my eyes and tell im a bad actor lol.... I've gotten better tho...because im 2 for 3 in my last 3 interviews

Ive tried many things in the past, like wearing glasses before lol to appear more sophisticated and I couldn't see shyt because i don't wear glasses...everything was all close up, and I was walking into tables and chairs..stumbling... pretty funny looking back on it..I've wore suits before...trench coats....I just suck at expressing myself I think..i dont know

anyway, I cant really give advice, but my cousin who get fired from jobs and get new ones like its nothing is a master at the interview game...he said basically u have to find some that they can relate to and create a rapport...for example, if you're talking to a man and if they mention sports...u play off of that and try to create a convo about sports

if its a female, its easier, i got most of my jobs from women...ive gotten my best one from a black lady....but for women all u have to do is smile and be polite to them, unless shes a c*nt of course or a racist

as for mannerisms...i think eye contact, sitting str8, and looking attentive...basically u have to make them feel comfortable esp since your a black man...sadly we have to go the extra mile, might even have to be a little animated in a goofy sort of way....

I don't how tall u are because on TC your always kinda sitting or laying down, but if you're tall...alotta cacs see a big black man as a king kong, godzilla .. a threat basically

...its their natural perception, unless they're use to black men. u gotta manipulate them into seeing u as someone that's not going to choke them out if they step outta line lol u have to disarm their fear
