My very protruding forehead make me look angry/unfriendly/aggressive. What can I do? (photos)

protforehApr 10, 2018

My relaxed face looks like I'm angry or mean, or a psychopath. I often notice people looking away quickly after they have a look at my face. It makes me feel ugly and I also feel it has a negative impact on people's perceptions of me. The pictures represent a neutral facial expression. If I make an effort and lift my eyebrows a bit it doesn't look as bad but it still looks a bit unnatural and also it makes me really anxious to have to consciously do that. Any advice?
