Is your smile genuine?
Is your smile genuine?
Typically, no... I try my best to put on a smile when interacting with other people, but they can probably tell that it's a bit forced. It's never anything personal; my range of expression is just very limited. For me, it's the norm to wear a blank face even when I'm feeling accomplished or happy.
Not exactly on my end either. I despise being told to smile for any reason, especially if it's to have my picture taken.
In fact, in plenty of social situations, I just find myself not even smiling to begin with. Don't know how that makes me come off to the other party, but it's not something I can help...
Unless they, like, compliment my shirt or something. That gets a tiny grin out of me, I think.
For pictures though, since it makes me look slightly less terrible, I just try to think about something that's made me happy or that makes me laugh so that I give a genuine smile (and so I'm not badgered about my smile as well).

Depends on the smile. I can pull out everything from genuine sunny smile to a showing teeth in a way that makes people doubt my sanity.
The latter usually comes out when I'm imitating my giggling maniacal sociopathic villains, usually in an attempt to figure out what they'll do.

I think mine is generally genuine. I smile at pretty much everyone who looks at me in a "hi" sort of way, just cos I dunno what else to do. XD
I don't smile a lot of the time, unless it's for something like work and I HAVE to. But then it's fake. xD Even when talking to people I tend not to smile. However my smile is genuine when I'm in a good mood and having fun, which is rare these days aha.
