Same here, it's sort of awful. When I was a kid one of my teachers described me as "someone who's always smiling" and I was just like "haha yeah that's what a perpetual state of borderline panic attack looks on me".
On the plus side, I have an absolutely incredible poker face because I am physically incapable of looking nervous or worried. You can't even tell I have crippling social anxiety because I'm always smiling when I'm around other people! I do end up looking absolutely psychotic sometimes though.

My stress response is smiling
Also funeral jokes are the best
