So apparently I have a "look"

mousmeI got told yesterday that I have a "look."
I'm quite distressed by this, because apparently this "look" happens completely randomly and gives people the impression that I'm angry with them, or possibly just angry in general.
This has been confirmed by three out of four people. The fourth person just said I looked "stressed" and possibly like I felt out of place, which is accurate because I never do feel *in* place.
This came about because I got told that someone was under the impression that I didn't like them. Then I was told about "the look." It was this "look" that many people have noticed (well, at least three) that gave this person the impression that I don't like them.
I have no idea what to do about this. I have no idea what this "look" looks like (no pun intended... well, maybe a little), nor how to get rid of it.
I mean, I'm rarely if ever truly angry with people, especially in social situations. It takes a lot for me to decide that I don't like someone. I may not click with people right away, but from there to dislike is a large leap.
In fact, I want people to like me. It's a huge thing for me to think that I'm inadvertently causing people even the slightest amount of discomfort.
Gah.
I suppose it's not the end of the world, but still. How does one change a facial expression one doesn't know one has?
