Hi all,

I'm a pretty chill person in my actions but quite sensible in the 'inside'.

Sometimes I run into issues with my feelings which can be very apparent in my eyes / gaze. It's fine most of the time but I recently had a not-so-confortable-situation where i wished I could keep a neutral gaze in front of a stranger to avoid making things more complicated.

Do you know any technique / tips to keep a friendly / neutral posture, even when someone is exhausting you or making you angry?

Thanks!

I've heard of an acting game where one will sit with a straight face and everyone else tries to make them laugh.

Maybe find videos that trigger the emotion you wish to suppress and watch until you have no visible reaction?
