I smile to make you happy. For when I am really happy. I don't often need a reason to smile smile. But society tells us that happiness is conveyed through smiling. But this can deceive us all the same. For a smile means nothing without context to understand why those particular facial muscles are forming in that particular way. So sometimes, just sometimes out there in the world when you see a person smiling, they just might not actually be happy

While smiling not necessarily means you are happy. However, it is still impactful to the one who looks at that beautiful smile irrespective of knowing the context or the reality behind it. When you look at someone smiling, you definitely feel happy and you reciprocate it. So continue smiling

Nerali. Hopefully I pronounced your name correctly. If not, I'm smiling. It's contagious. You can't punish me. Thank you for responding to this. Swell. I kind of wonder though, with that contagion of smiling, is it really that effective and does it really make a person feel good to smile? It can sometimes simply be a knee jerk reaction out of nervousness or tension to break said tension. But I see where you are coming from

So the start I would say smiling is the start of a relationship. But as you pointed out, sometimes it's just also kind of a barrier. I'll be trying to smile or I'll make a pleasant face, but just to protect myself or keep you at a distance. Yes. Strange, isn't it? We could simply smile spontaneously and out of happiness and simply simple positive feelings. But relationships are more complicated than that

We may think we know why we smile a lot of the times, but there are times where I'm laughing at something and I don't know why. And it will take me a little bit of time to figure out it'll be a joke in my head or a movie scene that I saw, or sometimes even more horrifically. I'll laugh at something that a lot of people don't consider funny and it doesn't make them happy, but it made me happy

Yes, you certainly did. Pronounce my name very well. So what I believe is you see what you want to see. So change your outlook. And you can see what you wish to see

So it's like laughter and smiling can be a way of masking emotion sometimes. So I don't always read into people smiling as happiness. I think that it can be an array of different emotions, nervousness, whatever it could be. But for me, I feel like I'm a naturally happy person. I smile and I go about life very nonchalantly no matter what happens to me. And I embrace it. I feel like me smiling is just embracing life
