Smile :) effort

Hi sz community. My opinion or narrative of what has been inside my mind today is putting a small effort in looking happy or good for others.

Sz sucks there is nothing to smile about well I do admit some that sz destroyed the mood it does not have to destroy ones effort to smile. People do not like seeing people who are unhappy. Or negative do you?

If a person is not receptive at your effort to smile then just keep smiling. Kind of like when Jesus said I love you to his followers and even the one that were hateful.
Well smile and watch what you think and see where that goes. Its part of practicing positivity. I am not barking orders I am saying this effort has been working for me. And it works on people. Actually other people turn my effort to smile into a genuine happiness. I figure in my head that out of the million things going on stress, work. Etc… Let the positivity flow. It will be tough. Are you smiling right now? If not like I am saying you need to try it. It will help you out. The end.

Just out to help people because I go through these situations where if people don’t see me smile I am in a foul mood. It can absolutely ruin a day. Break the ice. That is what I found difficult socially and it can only be done if your in a positive effort.

In my dark phases wherein I wasted away, isolation gave way aloof facial expressions of which others never verbally questioned.

During major grieving experiences, little interest in any conversation has had folks either dismiss me as present, shock me with too much stimulation or too little warmth or blindsight me.

Given a good dose of stability, without effort and a full-of-life attitude, I have fairly smiled without appearing positive.

Safety, stability and security are major issues in my world. I want to experience my full-of-life daily patterns, big-time. Fragility, vulnerability and effort range in my personal, familial and social outcomes.

I feel most of my life has been spent looking at a life full of safety, stability and security through a pristine shop glass window. This is dreadful. I can weakly smile, proving effort, at the expected outcome I favor.

I like the way you portray the universe by the way you write. I can tell your super conscious and highly intelligent. Don’t let that get you down, try on a smile, because personally bad vibes or no, I found a smile has the power to deflect everything, or make others see the radiance within you. And they act happy if you are happy.

I used to have a puzzled confused mind set, that hasn’t gone away. I struggle with it daily. But I push through, we are strong people to have to push through life plus schizophrenia. Just get INTO things you might like doing and find out how it makes you happy, maybe you need to find that. I don’t know. All I know is life is very important, it relies on you to become anything you put yourself to. Do things that matter, listen to things that matter. The universe somehow does not understand itself, that is quacky I know but our worldview changes daily with the weather. Well I’m going to stay positive and watch the Hunt for Red October, I loved nuclear submarines growing up as a kid. And Sean Connery is a cool actor to me. As well as Alec Baldwin. I wish I had my own Submarine. But I will utilize my power to dream. Take care.

You are a 100 percent right. : )

I have some experience, which can be as important as intelligence. On a scale of 10 with Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein leading at 10, I am a 2 for smarts. Not at all highly intelligent. I strive to read and study. All I do takes effort for me. I am not kidding. I Am A Flat Out Cute Dork. Once I dated a guy that told me curtly, I have a lot to say about stuff that has zero conversational merit. What was I talking about? The formation and classification of clouds and how I could learn more about them!!! I like to think I am strong with emotional intelligence.

But here is where your thread has value to me: I am weak. I have read millions look through the same pristine glass shop window I have, wanting the exact same thing–stability—having gone through extreme social injustices and summing up my visual presentation of them, they appear skin deep beautiful. How is it my voice is absent and meager when it comes to social contributions?

When socially appearing self-secure, I have smiled often at the elderly I have assisted—and they respond well.

When posting on a forum–a different one then this–it would take a long time to complete a post—because I was scared to put myself out there in invisible land. I remembered each post almost by word, because I would walk away reciting in my head what I wrote in fear that I would make a mistake. That’s a lot of time. I am not nearly as bad now.

I will smile. I will work on not reacting when a mood change can erupt or shift. This leads to self-security. : )

What I see is a few things you could work on that are fixable. Just identify the flaws and do not do them. So what if someone says you have zero conversational merit. Quite frankly I think you let his and I mean his not yours negatively influence you, and you held on to that. A woman told me that while chatting over the phone she emphasized to me, where are the facts. We people are always critical of each other and we think our articulations have meaning. Actions have meaning, talk is talk.

Just wanted to say that. When I a have a belief people want to it seems pick it apart and degrade what you think because they are not on your level of understanding. To me they are just absract. Not concrete to reality. And reality is exclusive to each individual. so it is your thought you must guard.

You seem susceptible maybe I do not know. It just comes from my recovery and how I had to live and learn. I had to learn not to over analyze be simple. I if I could respond in a helpful manner but this just my positive abstract. Learn what is not your ideas and what are. And when someone socially convicts condeming persecution. Is when you should step up to claim your thoughts back. Political science is just the means to influence. Influence is all it is. And pardon me mods, but it is only stupid people are easily influenced. Have a good one. Be silent when they talk and notice destructive forces. Take heed this has been my abstract thought whether you choose to apply it or not is not my liability. Entertainment purposes only thanks.

I think people CRINGE at positive stuff. They only like what can do them harm.

Some people like things that harm them. There’s a whole market for these wants.

I faithfully declare I want nothing to do with things that can harm me.
