I pretty much only have one. I guess I have two, but that's one for when I'm with people and one for when I'm not.
Most of the time, my face is cheerful. Well, as cheerful as it can be as I have a pair of eyes that always make me look pissed off when I'm not, and I'm actually just pulling off a normal straight face when I'm not smiling. But yeah, generally it's a cheerful face, which I always put on when around other people. Even when something's getting me down, I keep the cheery mask on as I don't like people knowing when I'm upset or tired. Well, I do, but never if I'm out with a group or at a party or whatever. I hate sitting and looking depressed, since I don't like dealing with people who approach me and ask 'what's the matter'. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the concern, but I hate to pull people away from the fun, and also I don't like having to explain my own mood. I unload my troubles to a very select few, and even then I unload them with a slightly positive attitude, dropping in the odd jokey comment.
If I'm on my own and I'm troubled, my sad face will come on then. But usually all it takes is some time lying down or going for a walk, thinking things over, and I'm positive again.
And there you have it. My own self pyscho-analysis... kind of.
