Smile: It's good for you and you look beautiful when you smile :)

[cl_517]

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

-Mother Teresa

People always ask me why I'm always smiling and I never really know how to respond to them. The answer is very simple, it's just how I am. I like smiling and making others smile and feel good about themselves. And if you don't like smiling as much as I do, I'll give 5 good reasons to smile:

• It can make you happy, even when you're not. The simple act of smiling sends a message to your brain that you're happy and when you're happy, your body pumps out all kinds of feel-good endorphins.


• It can make others happy. Smiling is contagious. Give to the world and the world will give back to you. Smile at the world and the world will smile back at you. You will brighten the days of those around and make a difference in their lives, simply by smiling.


• It makes you more attractive. People look their best, and happiest, when smiling. So the next time you are about to ask someone on a date, smile. It'll make them feel happier and you'll already be more attractive in his or her eyes!


• It helps to release stress. Smiling may help to reduce symptoms associated with anxiety. Simply using the same muscles as smiling will put you in a happier mood, so try smiling even if you don't feel like it! It will make you feel better!


• It just feels good. Smiling just feels good, so next time you're feeling down, try a smile :)

What makes you smile?

This is one of those things I'm on the fence about. I'm all for smiling and everything. I myself do smile, but I smile when I feel it's appropriate to do so or if I think about something and it makes me laugh. But, to smile just for the sake of smiling, just seems weird for me. Like to sit here typing this and just be smiling, seems odd to me. If I saw someone in the store smiling while they were picking out fruit, I might wonder if there up something lol. I also believe a smile is best when natural and not forced. When some forces a smile you can tell. So , it's best to smile when you feel like smiling, not just for the sake of it.

This contradicts everything I have been told by feminist.
Telling women to smile is apparently one of the reasons... "we need feminism"

[cl_517]

umm i don't see it that way though, thanks for your opinion though

[LogicBomber]

I see it your way. I believe people should smile and be happy. I just think it's hilariously ridiculous that feminist use that exact same idea and turn it into a reason why men are awful people.

[YazanAA]

This is the best myTake ever, I agree with everything you said. Plus it's free to smile so why not haha and I smile most of the times even though I'm not always happy, but yeah I don't need to be in the happiest mood ever to smile because it's so simple to do, and by the way you have a very beautiful smile Clarisa :)

[cl_517]

aww thanks for reading this! thank you so much! :D

[Remonster]

Smiling is indeed very contagious, also in making you more approachable. When I'm out and about I always try to wear a subtle smile, and I do notice it makes strangers approach you to say hi and what not much more often.

But I've also experienced the other side, where every smile you put on is fake and it feels forced. In that case you are really smiling so you do not come off as an emotionless monster.

[thesunstillshines]

Why would I smile if I'm not happy? Even if I'm happy I'm not going to smile
Smiles can be fake. I don't get why everyone tries to get people to smile.

[thesunstillshines]

And the only reason men want you to smile is because of their ego

[thesunstillshines]

And your face or body makes you attractive. Sorry to break it to you. Attractive is solely based on looks. Smiling just makes someone more likeable

[cl_517]

I agree to disagree with you :)

[Omar5881]

Maybe smile coz u lived another day

[xCutesyLolitax]

I agree.

[Kinstrome]

I like this :D Smiling gets serotonin released in the brain and helps other people feel more comfortable.

[cl_517]

thanks :)

[Hans222]

Fully agree with you: a smile and a friendly attitude are so much more important than a pretty face :D

[cl_517]

Yes :)

[Hidden_P]

I wouldn't say I'm very smiley but I express very much with my face. My eyes always give away my true mood though.
Nice take.

[cl_517]

thank you :)

[bubble_tea]

Uh.. no.

Just kidding ^^

[Toad-1]

you've been giving people the concerned look in your pic for awhile now :P

[bubble_tea]

@Toad-1 Awww.. thank you so much for not calling it a resting bitch face xD

[dartmaul15]

yup, agree with toad. Looks more like the "silently concerned" than "resting bitcchy face"

[bubble_tea]

@dartmaul15 Hmm, in that case, it's perfect for this site.

[dartmaul15]

perfect for the world. Because i'm really concerned abut how fucked up it's becoming

[bubble_tea]

@dartmaul15 Why so negative? lol Smile a little

[dartmaul15]

oh i smile, for the right people. I preffer to save my energy for when it really matters. Like for my girl

[bubble_tea]

@dartmaul15 o_O It's not hardwork to smile.

[dartmaul15]

i know D
BUt point is i'd rather not fake a smile all the time. Faking it til you make it doesn't work for sex, nor does it work for smiling...

[bubble_tea]

@dartmaul15 True. I wouldn't fake either. I guess it just comes naturally to me.

[dartmaul15]

probably...
And be happy about that, because for some of us it doesn't.
And good luck :)

[bubble_tea]

@dartmaul15 what for?

[meatballs21]

I smile when I have a good reason to.

People who tell me to smile because I look down just get a 'go fuck yourself' look. You don't know what kind of day I'm having, for all you know my grandmother just died or I got dumped or fired, so keep your fake cheeriness to yourself.

[Phoenix98]

smiling and laughing is a good thing indeed it actually has healing effects and his healthy for the human body.

[cl_517]

couldn't agree more :)

[Phoenix98]

Mhmm :)

[phanindra554plus]

[cl_517]

hahh thanks :)

[phanindra554plus]

You are always welcome😊

[xCutesyLolitax]

I only smile when I genuinely feel happy, but I tend to feel neutral most of the time. I also believe a smile should be a genuine reaction to something, not just something you do because it's supposed to be "good."

[Dtegesd123]

this is for a limited time. Just wait till those crows feet sink in haha

[cl_517]

umm I don't know what you're trying to say

[Dtegesd123]

[cl_517]

haha I don't care about that lol

[Dtegesd123]

:P...

[Pinkbeauty]

sometimes I don't smile much because I'm usually shy and I never like to smile in pictures cause I think it'll make me look weird in pictures and one person on gag always tries to get me to smile witch can be annoying sometimes

[misplaced_downer]

well... I'm trying my best these days... but it's hard coz life's hasn't been exactly kind 2 me 4 the past few years... so yea m trying really hard... any tips u could gimme?

[gobsmacked3]

' when you're smiling... when you're smiling... the whole world smiles with you...'

[thesunstillshines]

Not really

[gobsmacked3]

I find it does for you view the world in a positive vein

[thesunstillshines]

Dude not everyone goes around smiling. Even when you do smile not everyone is going to be happy
You need to prove yourself

[gobsmacked3]

I only need to prove myself to me. And i choose to smile for life is what you make it, and i choose to make mine great.

[cl_517]

that's how I see the world @gobsmacked3
