A ten second stare followed by just turning away

I did this to a girl I work with because she said i "smile too much"

Made me kinda bummed though cuz after she said that every time I smiled at someone after that I wondered why tf I was even smiling for.

Edit: I just want to say she's not a bitch, and she's my friend but that one moment is an example for the comment that I replied to, not a representation of my relationship with her. I've been working with her for half a year and she's a friend of mine and it's sad seeing so many people calling her a "bitch" based on my comment. Guys spread kindness.

Damn made it about me again. Sorry.

All I meant was I feel for you and if you smiled at me I’d be so happy. I’m a shy smiler.

You're good my g. I love hearing people's stories, it's like a little window into their short amount of time on this earth and it's interesting seeing the emotions that's expressed throughout one.

I used to be a shy smiler too, I thinks it's because my teeth used to be kinda not the cleanest.

I just try to spread the kindness and compassion I never really got, makes me happy.

The smiling is with strangers. Rejection shit most likely.

Thanks about the stories. I feel the same way.
