I can't smile!
Okay well this is a bit of a weird question but ah well.
I can't smile! My normal expression makes me look unhappy, even when I'm not. People always think I'm giving them a dirty look and when I try and smile at them it looks forced and bitchy. I can smile when it comes naturally but if someone asks me to, I can't. It's starting to become a real problem as everyone thinks I'm being unfriendly when I can't help it.
How can I learn to smile?

Honestly I have no idea, I am known for constantly having a smile on my face.
I guess you just need to practice. If you are just sitting around, using the computer for example - keep a smile on your face. Hold it there even if it is uncomfortable. Eventually it should come more naturally. Good luck!

If you want a genuine smile, think of something that makes you laugh. I have the exact same problem, and if I think of some stupid inside joke my friends and I have I can smile, or at least easier than usual.
Good Luck. Best Wishes. And Michael Jackson molests little boys.

Stand in front of the mirror and practice and it should start to come naturally to you.

ok wow... umm.. have someone tickle you and then it will naturally force you to laff and smile.. and then you will see that youre insane bc every human can fucking smile!!

I was the same way (and still sometimes am) and I had the same problem you do. What you need to do is to just practice smiling in the presence of your friends, because when you do that then your friends are gonna make you laugh at yourself trying it and then you will just smile from the moment, trust me that works. I used to just let it slide, I was infamous for always having my "game face" on whenever I played sports or had to do something. It's not something you want to just live with because it will give people wrong impressions. Just try maybe having some with it with your friends. I hope everything gets better and this advice helped!

From what I've read on the subject ,smiling is something you learn when you're a baby.You will have to practice to re-learn it.I always thought if you visualize someone naked when saying hi and waving,you will surely drum up a natural smile of some kind.
Hope this helps

Practice. I've had the same situation kind of. I can't smile at people but I can smile in pictures, and my eyes have " I don't give a fuck what your saying," written all over them. Just practice smiling in the mirror, but dont make it look fake. Just think of something happy.

Maybe your not as happy as you should be. Do more things in school or something. Are you in clubs or doing any sports. If not then you should. You might be happier. Be outgoing if your not already. YOu'll be happier.

maybe try thinkin about something funny or think about something that makes you feel good inside.. THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS! might sound a lil gay but id try it.. i know what you mean tho everybody thinks im so sad or unhappy cause i dont :) SMILE :) but that doesnt mean your unhappy or even sad mad or anything.. just try to think positive and see what happens.. ♥ Dez

Don't sweat it! Just practice in front of a mirror for, oh, say, ten minutes per day. Eventually, you'll smile beautifully!!
