Why do people assume that those who don't smile all the time...?!
Question: aren't genuinely happy?
Answers: aren't genuinely happy?
Hehehe....I get that a lot. I don't smile all the time. I think it's like this: People think that if you're not bubbly and happy 24/7, then there's something wrong with you. That is probably part of the reason that anti-depression meds are so prevalent. Yes, we want to be happy but happy all by itself is kind of boring. We were meant to feel other emotions too. There are some people, I think, who just...tend to think a little deeper about life and are maybe more serious than others, but that doesn't mean they're unhappy. Bubbly people...tend to scare me anyway ;)
I guess they just are

it's what they see on the outside and not on the inside
They are judging the book by the cover. People that don't smile don't look happy, so people assume they aren't happy based on looks. You have nothing else to go on.
because smile is the symbol of happiness..
Because people are pretty visual. Seeing a smile automatically makes you think happy. I guess that's why? Good question.
because they don't show it
shampoo
Because smiling is a sign of happiness!
i don't know , you shouldn't worry too much about what people think of you.
yea dont smile i smile all the time and now am worriede abt wrinkles
We automatically equate smiles with happiness. I've been guilty of assuming non-smiling people are unhappy - thanks for reminding me that it's not necessarily true!
idk...bc i smile alottt
It's common sense<
Smiling = Happy.
It is nice to see people's happiness displayed on their face, if you are happy why not smile! They are contaigious!
Generally people think that they are good at making correct assumptions.
As Sizzla Kalonji says "Sometimes I smile, sometimes I don't. The purpose them don't know."
Because most ppl think negative, and it's not obvious.
because they're not smart enough to keep in mind that it
is not necessary to smile every time you're happy.
Because the first inpression is everything
idk good question... i barely smile but i am either concentrating or i just dont feel the need to smile every 5 seconds
I know, right? I hate that. I don't smile often unless I feel genuine happiness, but just because I don't smile at every lame joke people (esp. guys) assume that I'm not a happy person. Dude, you're just not a funny guy! is what I want to say to them.
Because there own lives are so dull and boring, they have to interfear with others! I wouldnt waste your time worrying about them!
i dunno.
but people who assume are
stupid.
Because people have too many misconceptions about happiness, well about life in general. Be yourself & don't worry about what others think. If you feel that you are happy then don't change yourself because someone else doesn't think you are happy. You have to live with yourself, not the person that others want you to be.
i don't smile and they think i'm mean or have an attitude...but they still say i'm pretty...and i know i'm not sad or mad, i don't care what others think
I don't know. I'm very happy but people are always like "why are you always so sad" and stuff. It's really annoying.
because they do not show it on their face :)
Because they are stupid! I hate when people seem happy all the time!!
stop complaining and start smiling! life is beautiful! i know several people that feel the way you do and i DON'T think they're happy.
you're pretty, just smile more
Because as humans, we all need visual cues to go on. Some of the more direct ones are facial expressions. If you don't display certain cues, people assume that you therefore don't feel the emotion(s) that would elicit such a physical expression.
