Do you fake your smile?

Post Reply New Topic

I know that this is a quite ridiculous question but that's why I put it here. It's also pretty awesome.
So, do any of you guys fake your smile in certain moments?
I do sometimes, especially when my photo is about to be taken. When my big, genuine smile appears, it looks like these three combined
It's a fart-y smile. So when I'm near strangers, I try to use a milder form of that smile. Which is this It's not as powerful as my genuine smile but it feels/looks quite nice.

Yes. I'm fairly sure others know when I do it.

Only when I'm getting my picture taken. Otherwise I show my honest feelings.

No, because it looks REALLY fake. Make me laugh and you'll get the genuine article though.

When I'm going through a grocery line or talking to strangers I have a small semi-smile,in this culture everyone is suppose to look pleasant.You don't want to be thought of as surly or sullen.I also smile or grimace at the wrong time because I have misinterpreted something someone said or did.Supposedly the way to tell if a smile is real is the skin around the eyes,if it crinkles when they smile,it's most likely real.Unless they had Botox.

I think of what makes me happiest so that my smile is real.

Often, but not all the time.

NO. Not myself. I am genuinely happy.

Whenever I try and fake my smile I end up either making something that looks like a slightly energetic Meh face or a serial killer smile

I'm soo oblivious to facial expressions due to my Aspergers & having a low vision disorder that I'm not even sure how to fake my smile but some sometimes think I'm faking one when I'm not.
