it is not easy for me to fake a smile

A fake smile can't have the sweetness of a real one. But many people sport fake smile day by day if only to hide their true feelings. It is easy to detect a fake smile. How? You just have to look at the eyes. You can see from his eyes the truth because even if our lips can fake our emotion our eyes can't because the eyes are the windows of our soul.

That wouldn't be ideal for most jobs lol. You have to fake a smile all the time. It is hard for me to do also, I don't like to pretend I am feeling a way that I am not.

...it is really not easy to act normal or join the laughters when one is humiliated...even if someone does there are few who do well most of them are caught with their fake laughs...it is natural if you are insulted your heart feels it and so will it appear on your face...

Most of us like you too, we can see the face to know exactly the feeling. I think there are some people who can hide their truly feeling on face only...

Sometimes I can do this--I can smile even if I'm not really happy. I don't want people to see what I truly feel. So as much as I can, I just smile.

Presenting a fake smile just to please other people is not my type. I really do the things I wanted to do and the thing I feel. I do not like altering my appearance or facial expressions. However, there will always be time that the situation we are in is calling as to be calm and we need to cope up with the environment we are in. If you really can make a fake smile, just go to a place that you will feel secure and safe and pour your disappointments there and then after a while you may go back. In that way, you may prevent unwanted misunderstandings and dilemma.

Hi hotsummer, I am like you, it shows on my face. Sometimes it is good and other times it is when our friends are in joyful mood and you don't want to bring that down, and that is sometimes why I wish to stay alone when I can do it. It is hard for me to hide my feelings, it even shows if I am angry, I really wish I could hide it at times. Well, it is how God has made me, and I respect that, I respect myself too, this doesn't put us any lower than others everyone has something imperfect in them. :)

I am also the one person that cannot fake expressions. If I am mad, sad, or happy people can easily see it on my face. I know some people who can fake everything and they are very good at it. But I just can't..

I'm similar with you. If I don't like any sceptic joke I will give plain face, won't pretend to laugh even everyone laugh out loud. sometimes it's strange to see others laugh in particular situation, but I don't really care about that

It's ok hotsummer, that's just you, and it should not be an issue that you can't fake a smile because everybody has their own reasons, everybody has there own perspective in life. everybody is "unique". I'm a person who could fake a smile, but not all the time that I could do it very well. I sometimes find it hard to smile when the things that burden me have piled up and I don't know what to do. but if it's just about joking around, or even to the point of public humiliation i can still fake a smile, knowing that I would get them back for it 1 way or the other. I guess, what you need to do is just be ok of who you are. No need to feel uneasy that you can't fake a smile or whatever, as long as your just showing the real you, then that's ok. (for me that it is have a nice day

Unhappiness or displeasure can never be convinced by pretence. Such effort always fails. You can always detect the smiles from where it came.
