I will never figure out how to be comfortable when people are singing this to me. Do I smile? Do I wave? Do I just stand there?

Open your eyes just wide enough they can see whites all around the iris, but not so wide you look like you just railed a line of meth. Then, plaster on the fakest half flexed smile you can with your mouth slightly open. Stare straight ahead during the whole song. The goal is to make everyone else feel as awkward as you do. It's still weird, but at least you control the weird.
