Do you smile

People ask me why I always look worried. I Don’t smile too much. Not sure if it’s my meds or just me, but I didn’t really notice until I was asked again today. Isn’t it called apathetic or something?

I can put on a fake smile in company.

Sadly I don’t do much of that either. I want to look happy but I guess I get caught up in my surroundings so much, that I forget to fake it.

My most genuine smiles are usually when something is funny. I can smile in support group. Sometimes it’s hard to smile though, and I think sometimes I’m barely moving my lips with a huge effort.

I’m super aware of when I’m smiling and not so aware of when I’m not. I have a very ugly face when I don’t smile. But, when I smile, I’m told that I light up the world.

I go through periods where I have very flat affect. Normally when I’m dissociated.

2 of my alters are very smiley and at least 1 other alter is very flat i think I’m decently balanced between the 2

I always have a smile on even while I’m sleeping. Jking I have the grimace most of the time but if I find something funny or alarming I usually smile. Sometimes ill weep instead of laugh though.

People tell me about how they behave. And we talk to each other in the headspace.
