Most of the time I don't smile as I go about my daily life, just as I don't cry or grimace.</p><p>Most of the time I have a calm relaxed straight face, or so I've observed in the mirror, therefore that seems like the most honest presentation of myself.</p><p>I saw a lot of psychological <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/theories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theories</span></a> ranging from <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/shyness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shyness</span></a> to <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/assertiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>assertiveness</span></a>, but I didn't see any mentioning my case.</p><p>I've asked a few people why they don't smile and the most common reason I heard was they simply preferred a straight face over a made-up <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/smile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smile</span></a> that would probably look false.</p><p>I didn't see this one mentioned in the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> pages either.
