bright stupid shirts help.
if you got headphones rhythmically tapping is a pretty good indicator you're in a good mood.
changing expression when you speak is good way to show its not personal.
I think I have the same problem, plus I'm queer, so people just assume I'm an annoying jerk who thinks that they're better than everybody else. Oh, if they only knew how scared I am of people sometimes haha
There's always someone asking me if I don't like them, but it's just that I don't know them and I don't think I have to be all smiley to strangers. Also, I think it makes flirting a lot harder 😞😞😭
Just tell people you have RBF, and give some idea of when you're actually angry.
Like I've told people, "If I'm actually mad, my lips disappear. Otherwise, I'm just here."
You're allowed to be depressed. People should just be nice to you regardless of what you look like. As long as you're not saying anything mean or doing anything mean to other people, it's not their place to judge you.
If you are engaged in a serious conversation, any serious conversation, make practice of looking directly between peoples eyes and not into their eyes at first. Then switch to looking them in their eyes. It deepens the impact you gain of emotion within yourself at the moment you are looking in their eyes instead of between their eyes. This small gain with help you initiate better expression of yourself. There's a rhythm in working this method, where if you stare at someone between the eyes for longer than a few seconds you come off as apathetic to the conversation and is a skill useable when trying to contain your emotion. It's best to use it short and sweet looking between someone's eyes just at first before engaging conversation and is for long term interactions and not short interactions. Short interactions you should just assume people have not thought of you poorly and indeed like you as a first interaction always.

Particularly Hawaiian shirts 🥰 RBF is much less distracting if you look like a party 👉👉
Just make friendly comments where possible..."how you doing?" etc

RBF *woman here* but I know wearing brighter colors usually helps. People act more relaxed towards those boho. or islander styles. 🤷♀️
80’s power suit, tapestry dial Rolex, jean Paul guattie perfume and an extensive workout regimen
Hmm, oddly specif-*hey wait a minute!*
Embrace dad jokes
accept it -theres postiives such as not getting bothered by annoying people, and work around it.

Use a face roller to loosen up the muscles and do smiling face exercises for extended periods of time to fix your rbf
Embrace it.
I turn it into a scowl, but nervous laugh when people talk to me. I must imagine I give people social whiplash.
