You should follow people who don't smile back and be all WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!

Yes, for the most part ... so much so that people freak out when I have an off smiling day. So much so, that people mostly expect me to be smiling all the time (like they depend on it) and then they think it is not normal to be smiling as much as I do. They wonder what is wrong with me!?

On the rare off smiling days, it is so difficult to see the usual people (mostly at work), because I can hardly force a smile and would rather stay out of sight, my vibe is so strong. These sort of days are exhausting because it is a bit out of character for me and I feel I have to explain myself. I know I don't but I usually do, at least I apologize. Why? I just do.

Or if I just give fair warning before the day starts. But something, nearly 99% of the time changes my attitude. If not, I simply ask for PTO. ~Smile.

Yes, I most often get a smile in return. Sometime I make it my goal.

yeah I never use to smile much when I was out and about unless I came across someone i knew or someone was serving me, iunno my face just doesn't naturally go into smile mode I've been told i often look mad... but I've been working on it and smiling nice at pretty much everyone for a little awhile now but alot don't smile back... it makes me feel stupid to be honest. really rude, maybe it's karma or something for the way I use to treat the people around me.

Don't feel stupid. Keep smiling!

My face does go into natural "smile mode" . There's a few times I'll be like shit, I shoulda kept that smile to myself, but fuck it.

I get "bitchy" a lot

nope...i'm a prick like that

I reckon I'm probably walking around with a frown on my face without even realising it I do try and meet people's eye and smile and greet them when I'm out and about in my neighbourhood, the old folks appreciate it.

I can relate

johnart said:

Only if they're female and hot.

heybaby said:

OMG...me too.

I don't know why I have a habit of frowning but most of the time I catch myself. I hate when I'm walking down the street and mad dudes go..."it can't be that bad sweetheart!" I'm saying to myself "how the fuck do you know how bad it is?!" when in all reality there wasn't anything bothering me at all.

We have such tunnel vision, no one would even notice. I've passed friends on the street and not realized it.

Keep smiling yourself and you will feel better and so will others around you.
