My resting face always looks like I’m sad. Even teachers in school would ask me if everything was okay…even when I felt fine.

I smile when I’m nervous, which happens a lot around other people.

People have always told me to smile more. People tell me that I don’t smile very much. But people love it when I do smile. I’m always told that I have a beautiful smile. I was once told that I have a smile that “lights up the world”.

Sometimes but my default face is a frown. It didn’t used to be that way when I was younger but after hearing voices insulting me constantly for years the frown started to develop and just stuck

No. I have a smile that would creep out Hannibal Lector.

(Not actually kidding.)

No because I have crooked teeth (sort of–mild case) and my teeth are yellow. Also, I have negative symptoms and I feel empty inside. I have nothing to smile about.

I do. I laugh a lot too.
Does draw quite a bit of (unwanted) attention when out in public.
Then I get embarrassed .

I smile a lot, I think. I always smile at people I pass in stores or outside. Most people don’t smile back but just stare at me like they are dimwitted or think that I am. I am not as bubbly as I was before, but I do make an effort. I didn’t have to make an effort before, though; it just came naturally.

I make myself smile. I have for a number of years now and it makes a difference in my mood and in how people react to me.
I naturally look stressed (I’ve been told) so when I smile, it makes me look more relaxed and welcoming… People usually smile back.
I think it’s a good thing to do. :grin:

I’ve been told I smile a lot.
I can’t help it. A smile can be disarming, and I’m scared of conflict. Besides, when I smile, it makes others smile, and I like it when people smile at me :smile:
