I'd have to do a posture evaluation to be sure of what's going on, but I can offer some general tips geared towards that.
First, make sure your jaw isn't clenching. People do this without realizing all the time, especially among teeth grinders.
Your shoulders aren't earrings! On top of just being aware of how high you're holding them.
As for stretches, neck and shoulder rolls are criminally underrated for posture related stuff because people half-ass it. Go slow, like one rotation per 30 seconds max. Make sure you're pushing the joints to their maximum in any given direction and REALLY sink that stretch in.
Being aware of what you do in a day where your posture can be improved does more than any exercise or stretch though, seriously. Make sure where you're spending plenty of time, be that your chairs, bed, on your feet, just make sure you're doing things to take corrective action that will stick. An example for this would be a lumbar pillow in a desk chair because you tend to slouch and curve your spine forward.
I'll keep all this in mind, thank you for the reply!!
