I don't smile a lot

Dont call me emo! I'm not some sort of bubbly girl skipping around on the road. Of course it doesn't hurt to smile. My Auntie criticized me for not smiling, so does my grandma. I hate my how my grandma says smile! even when your angry or sad. I dont want to live on this planet anymore.

I hate when people tell me to smile. I look at pictures of myself where I thought I was smiling, and it doesn't look like it. To actually form an obvious smile feels unnatural to me.

This is exactly me.
I can smile a lot when I'm naturally happy but its almost impossible for me to fake a smile.

Well if I have a funny reason I will smile and sometimes laugh uncontrollably but I don't like my teeth,it's yellow and my dentist(which is a family friend also) said that she will not do me a depigmentation no matter how much I pay her because it will sever my teeth durability and health and she doesn't want me to blame her.

I don't smile a lot either. Even when I'm really happy, I don't go about smiling and being all bubbly. Actually even when I'm in a good mood, people have told me I look "bored." I usually have a blank look on my face, with maybe a slight frown? I know I don't usually look angry, but I'm not full of smiles either.

I also can't stand it when people tell me to smile. It's hard for me to fake a smile and keep it up. It's much easier for me to put on a poker face and act like everything is fine, whether it truly is or isn't.

I hardly ever smile, if I do you won't see my teeth. Not that I don't like my teeth or anything because they are just fine but I feel like it's forced o_O

Also I don't have a single picture of myself where I smile o_O

I never smile, when I find something humourous I my mouth tilts like a grin with my mouth always being closed.. I am seriously reminded of the lyrics from the Black Sabbath song Paranoid.. "people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time"

I got that a lot at every job I have worked.. When I worked at McDonalds for the short time and even shorter time I was a cashier, they called my parents to complain that I "needed to smile".. If they paid me more, I may have made an effort to fake one, but being I was paid $6.55 an hour... No way I'm making myself VERY uncomfortable for absolutely no money.. They also complained to my parents about my greeting customers, which they told them I was "Not greeting them at all, not a single word even after telling this".. The day they moved me I was being passive agressive and turning the paper on all the trays over to show the nutritional chart, where they so cleverly hide them. They got the message and moved me to the window where I handed food out to fat people in cars.. I think a few days went by when a manager I had never worked with before screamed at me for several minutes and I just stared at the cup I had been filling and it was overflowing because I just froze.. I clocked out and walked to my car and left.. They lied to my parents when my parents confronted the manager.. Army used to leave me alone to do my work and I never had a single complaint until about a year ago, now they are constantly on me about all this crap. Sorry about going off on my own tangent here, just started typing and ended up here..

I don't like smiling unless it is genuine as well. I can attempt to fake a small but then it feels too unnatural and as soon as I stop thinking about it I would lapse back to not smiling.

I actually smile quite a lot - it probably doesnt seem like it, but I do - particularly when I am talking to someone.

I dont smile in photos though - I cant force smile - it makes me feel weird.

When I laugh, I laugh loudly.

But smiling during conversations when there's nothing at all funny or endearing going on I have always found a phony exercise.

"I don't smile alot".

Neither do I, and I'm fine with this one. People who walk around with a permanent smile seem to be putting on an act. If something is actually funny then I will smile or laugh. Emotions for the proper scenario. I once knew a girl that was bubbly ALL the time, and laughed at jokes even when they weren't funny. Yet when you got her alone and actually talked to her, she was completely different then how she portrayed herself in public. Fake ****.
