What Causes Involuntary Emotional Expression Disorder?
Hi Why do I smile or smirk at inappropriate times? Like for instance I was talking to my mom about how upset I was about failing a test and a smirk started forming as if I was trying to deceive her, and I was not. It also happens during serious conversations. Why does this happen?
