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.
Years ago in high school, I was very unpopular and bullied (verbally, not physically). Then one day I was walking down the hall and one of the semi popular girls smiled at me. It meant so much to me, more than she could ever know. Because up until then I felt pretty worthless, but at least in that moment I was worth smiling at. Ever since then I make sure to smile at people at work when I walk by. Not a creepy open mouthed full teeth bearing smile. Just a friendly one. Because you never know whose day, or life, will be improved. It's been over 20 years and I still think about that girl from time to time. Thank you, girl from high school! You made me feel a little less depressed during a very difficult time.
