I really hate it when people tell me to "Smile!"
Don't tell me to smile because you think I need to. I'm sick. I feel like total sh!t, and I don't want to be at work, but I have to because my boss is on vacation.
Just because I don't have a cheesy grin plastered on my face 24/7 doesn't mean I'm not a happy person.
I used to have strangers say that to me, but I guess I now give off a "don't talk to me" sort of vibe, because that hasn't happened in years.
I just dont understand what compels people to say that to others. You don't know what they're thinking, or what's going on with them. It just rubs me the wrong way, I guess.

ITA.
So... if I smile, even though I'm not feeling it, is that to make me feel better? Or to make you feel better, like you were that last catalyst I needed to illicit a ***-eating grin on my face?
Thought so.

Are you united with the CCOKCs?
I couldn't agree more. Mind your own business people. How do you know my dog didn't just die or that I didn't just lose a job? Most people I know who run around with a stupid grin on their face 24/7 need to be medicated so excuse me if I'm a normal person who might just happen to be in a "no reason to be jumping out of my skin with excitement" kind of mood.
One of these days when some idiot says that to me, randomly and out of the blue, without knowing anything about me, I'm going to tell them I just got diagnosed with a fatal flesh eating virus or something just to watch their reaction.
