Do you hate your smile?

I can't stand when I look at my smile. I know lots of people who somehow can pull it off and look pretty, as for me, I don't know why, but when I smile, it makes me look like a guy. Like I just don't know how to describe it. I think i have squished smile or whatever that means. I know I mentioned about this in another post on why I hate getting my pictures taken, but this is something that is really aggravating. Probably I look like a guy because I look like so many boy celebrities than girls(Justin Berfield for example, not that I don't like him or that he's bad looking or anything.) And my eyebrows are so bushy they make make me look like a guy. Ugh!:mad: I wonder if it's due to my circles under my eyes that when i smile it makes me look older than I really am(Actually when I'm probably not smiling I look younger.) My parents, especially my dad calls me cute and pretty and says thins like "Look at how pretty are daughter is." I just smile and say thanks and while I appreciate them for saying that, I can't see myself as pretty or cute. I'm far from pretty and cute, and I'm truly not saying this to fish for compliments because I honestly do think I'm not pretty. Just average at best. My dad says its because I have low self esteem, maybe that's true I guess. For, now on when People take pictures of me, I'll just do a closed smile from now on or make a pose, if there's anything bad about that.(Plus, I wouldn't blame boys for not talking to me. My dad said something like "I'm sure a nice gentlemen would think you're cute. I'm pretty sure I'll never have a boyfriend cause of my looks or my esteem.)

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Yeah, I do. I'm very self conscious about my smile as well. I especially loathe looking at photo of me smiling, especially when the smile is clearly forced and no genuine.

I couldn't afford braces until I was 22 years old, so until then I had really messed up teeth and would hide my mouth with my hand whenever I smiled. And yet, I would get many compliments about having a great smile. Now, my teeth are a lot straighter (though not perfect), and I don't hide my smile, and nobody compliments me!

I do, I really don't like it at all. It's not that my teeth are necessarily bad or anything, I just can't stand the way it makes my face look. I hate my face to begin with and when I smile my nose gets soooo wide and my cheeks get super huge, and it looks awful. It also looks super awkward so I prefer to just not smile at all, especially not wide with teeth. The most I ever do is a small closed mouth smile.

When I was little I was in a car accident that knocked out a few of my "adult teeth"(As I've mentioned too many times on here.heh)
Now I wear dentures(only on the top)
I'm VERY self conscious about my smile.
You can't even tell that they're fake by looking at me....but I'm scared of people noticing.
Somebody did in middle school...and well....you can probably what they did and got others to do(psst Make fun of me over it.;))
I always cover my mouth with my hand when I laugh or smile.
Or do this thing with my lips that makes it obvious that I'm trying to hide something.

It even makes me terrified to kiss a girl.lol ::p:

You know what? I bet all your smiles are awesome. In fact, I've seen most of you smile and I think they're all adorable.

I got braces as an adult. It was a painful and expensive process. I feel way better about my smile now than I did before the braces. Worth every penny. I used to always cover my mouth and feel so self-conscious about my crooked teeth. I regret not getting those braces earlier. It would have helped a lot.

Everything in my face looks pretty ugly, I try to hide it with beard and long hair with which I kinda cover it as much as I can with an appropiate haircut.

But yeah, my smile is especially... weird. It's awkward so I don't smile much. Depression prevents me from smiling most of the times, so it's not that bad. But I really dislike it.

Yep. Can't stand the way I look when I smile. I'm not too keen on the non-smiling me either, but a smiling me is definitely something the world does not need exposing to.

I think you should listen to your dad. I'll bet he's right.

Whenever I smile I look like I have messed up hidden ulterior motives for smiling.
Haven`t smiled sincerely for years. I can`t do it anymore.

I hate my smile. It has caused too many swooning related injuries to the ladies, so I try not to smile in public.

Eh. Sometimes, when a picture is taken while I'm laughing, I look like a freak. But in general I like my smile. If it's a forced smile, it's not gonna look pretty, but it never does on ANYONE. When it is a genuine smile, well, those are the best. There are a lot of pictures where I have a genuine smile on my face and I like those the best. Who doesn't like a real smile?
