Do you ever feel like saying smile

jugsjugs Yes a lot of times and one time to this pickle puss here at mylot I said, rather bluntly, wow if you don't smile you face will freeze like that and make everyone run away screaming from the fright. It made him laugh so was worth the effort, now we have become friends. I think some people just get into the habit of frowning and do not realize they are doing it.I try to smile at everyone I meet here even if I do not always get a return smile from them. sometimes it does stick.

I don't say that but I might ask them what's wrong. Some people don't realize that they look unhappy--people are always telling me to cheer up but when I'm not smiling my mouth turns down and I look unhappy.

I say, "Smile...it can only get worse."

That is exactly what I do say to them. Yes, I walk right up to them and say "Smile!" and I think (or "Go Home!") but usually I am too nice to say that part out loud.

Sometimes all it takes to cheer some one up is a smile form someone else. and then again all they might need s someone to talk to for a few minutes. I know that i am not good when i am around a lot of people that i do not know, and i do feel better and start to warm up when people start to speak to me. It makes me feel more at ease.

Sometime depends on who is the person is looking sad, yet usually I don't ask why is sad, I try to make the person to smile or at east to get in a more optimistic mood. Sometime along the way I may ask what's the problem and/or if I can help. But only if I see that any other method to cheer him/her up is just useless.

I never feel like saying the word smile to someone who has something bothering them. People used to say that to me all of the time when I had alot on my mind that was bothering me. I would have liked it better if they showed some concern for what was wrong with me instead. A smile from them would be okay too but not for them to tell me to do it. It is hard to smile when you are sad or worried.

Don't laugh but when my daughters are walking around I sing grey sky are going clear up put on a haapy face an it works sometimes an if it don't I going into a tap ruotine an sing the whole song (hey it might not get rid of the frown but gets rid of them cause for some reason they run from me)

I try to be friendly to everyone, and I think I've talked to a person or two who looked solemn... It's just a nice thing to do, also someone sad at a party is a drag, but I've been the sad person at a party before, so I can't say much.

i would NEVER say that.. and this is just because i have had past experience with it.. my dad was an unmedicated bipolar person that could not stand to see anyone looking depressed because it would affect him.. well im bipolar (of course growing up i didnt know this) so he would scream at me to smile and be happy and got me to the point of where i felt i had to fake happy all the time and hide everything deeper.. then when i finally admitted to myself and got help people thought i was trying to get attention and faking bipolar because i always seemed fine or happy.. im a realist so i know that most of the time it doesnt seem like people are happy so instead of saying smile i would prob just go and try to casually chat with them (if i knew them or felt comfy enough) and see if i could either cheer them up by talking to them or see if they wanted to talk about whatever it was... im the type people always confide in an i think i have seen or been through about everything so i can relate to a lot.. but like i said the reason i feel so strongly about saying smile to some one is just because of my past experience.. so dont feel that im screaming at you or mad at you just makes me sad thinking back on it.. i do agree it sucks to have some one unhappy at a party and i know if it was a friend of mine and i couldnt get the person feeling better it would upset me because i would see them in pain but i would just go about it differently..

i say stuff like that aswell,but i tend to be a bit more blunt

I get tired of asking people to smile so I just tell them a good joke and it works. lol

I believe those people have their reason to behave that way. Even on a party. Imagine if that person saw the girl he loved for so long kissing the first men that crosses her way? And he have to stand there and do nothing? I guess this is very sand and this persons won't be cheered by an smile at all. But also, you attitude is great. I really like it since I tend to not pay enough attention on strangers to detect they are sad.

first i will try to know the reason behind his sadness.den i will try to make him know tat u dont have worry abt a small issue."As a bigger line drawn beside makes the current one look smaller.cheers.have a nice day.

OMG, do I ever! Especially someone that works with the public and looks like the last thing they want to be doing is to wait on me or whatever. Also, if I walk past someone and give them a friendly smile, which is something that seems to come naturally to me, and they just scowl back at me it makes me want to say something like, "Gee, your face might break!", but I don't...lol! I certainly understand that we all have bad days and sometimes we don't feel like smiling but that's no excuse for trying to spread our misery around to every one we come into contact with, is it? Annie

There does seem to be so many miserable people about doesnt there! i have said smile to a few people where i live but to be honest some look like they are about to punch the next person that talks to them! I sometimes wonder what is that bad in their life that they cannot smile at another person as i always try to smile at people and i can assure you my life isnt wonderful i mean im not working due to health, im living in someone elses house i do struggle with everyday things but im still alive so what the hell lets smile :D
