Hi Doctor,
I am from India.Name is Anandhu krishna,21 yrs male.I am generally a very social person and is very active in college.But the problem is i cannot smile for sometime,I just freeze infront of people. Especially new,or long time no see friends or people.Sometimes or maybe with some comfortable people i dont feel this but on other occassions i get very nervous.I cannot smile consistently,cant even fake one.My cheek feels tensed and immovable and i look like either shrewd or nervous or serious to the other person or group of people , i am talking to. This is increasing lately and i am very desperate for a solution. I tried out facing this fear, i participate in social occassions and activities, always try to meet new people but this aint going away. It clings back as i cannot predict when is this going to happen or to control it.sometimes i am very controlled,calm and confident but spmetimes like this,very pathetic.
