You are in Women, Men, Aging . People tell me I show no emotion. I'm afraid it's hurting my career and social life.
Emotional expression comes naturally to most people.
When you frown or smile, raise or lower your voice, gesture, or look somebody in the eye, you help people understand you. If you don't express yourself in these ways, people will feel less connected to you. And, yes, that can hurt your career and social life. Start by making a videotape of yourself chatting with a friend. Watch the tape and note where a well-placed smile or exclamation might help.
