Do You Know a Genuine Smile

People have genuine smiles, and there is often one smile that is not a meaningful smile. I have noticed that when talking to people I have met working with tourists and with local people.

How would you know if someone has a genuine smile?

• I haven't seen much of that around in the small village where I live.
• It is sad to see people with such an attitude.
• They smile, but not a genuine smile.

Why do people smile when you don't mean it?

A smile is unique.

What is the power of smiling?

• I learned to smile during my childhood years and have practised that true smile ever since.
• A little bit of smiling has a great effect on your emotions.

• Any positive experience increases happiness in individuals.
• You feel joyful toward a new experience.
• Smiling strengthens the brain cells.
• It is normal to smile.

What is a true smile?

The Duchenne smile is the true smile.

The corners of the mouth take your smile to the limit.

• What is a genuine smile?

• When you smile for an audience the mouth corners are not smiling.

Do women smile more than men do?

Women smile more than men.

Here is why women smile more than men.

A social lifestyle allows women to smile more than men. Interesting, and just the way I feel when with a few people. Women are more observant when around people than men are when around people.

It is from within that a woman notices the differences between these fake smiles and genuine smiles.

I have on many occasions observed such smiles. I chose to write this hub due to my experience during the festive season.

The many smiles from people were not genuine. Most people who share fake smiles are not happy people. You don't have to always smile to show happiness.

It is how you choose to be when mingling with others. Everything you express comes from within you.

People smile to cover up pain and sadness, or other negative issues. You smile during a job interview and don't mean it. When you don't enjoy the occasion, you smile to show others you are enjoying the event.

Anyone can fake their smiles. I was not aware of how people can go about their daily routine with fake smiles.

I know a genuine smile and I can spot a fake smile right away. Someone smiling with their eyes almost closed is a perfect image of a true smile.

Those who have forgotten how to be happy don't know how to show that true smile. Almost everyone fakes a smile at some point in their lives.

To capture your photograph, and when meeting people you want to make that good impression.

During these situations, you are faking that smile.

How do you spot that fake smile?

• You see that fake smile when you don't see any movement in the upper part of one's face.
• There are no sign of closed eyes.
• You would not see the crow's foot movement when one has a fake smile.
• Fake smiles show the bottom teeth of the person.
• You won't find the crow's feet; the closed eyes and the bottom teeth view on everyone.
• A sincere smile is important to me.
• People pleasers fake many smiles.
• People who don't smile don't want to smile.
• They feel smiling covers up their actual being.
• A façade is what these people call a smile and a frown is more than a smile for such individuals.
• People who have issues and don't want to smile avoid smiling.
• The happy moments make you want to smile.
• You don't need effort to smile.
• The many people I met during the years living in Croatia allowed for the observations.
• A smile is not always true with some people I know.
• Those who feel depressed and have forgotten how to be happy from war time show more fake smiles.
• You feel positive and great with a smile.
• Fake smiles have hidden secrets.
• When you have a fake smile, you are trying to cover up your pain, or you are just not a happy person.
• The eyes tell you with a true smile and a fake smile.
• Also, you can choose to be that way.
• Pretend everything is good when you have a lot to cope with in your unhappy life.
• Fake smiles show the true characters and personalities of that person.
• There were twenty of us and on Christmas day we planned to visit the village people.
• It is the Croatian custom to wish others around the neighbourhood.
• A very interesting and enjoyable get-together.

I enjoyed the day!

• I noticed people smiled, but these smiles were not genuine.
• A different understanding to me.
• People smile when happy and true smiles mean so much more than the fake smiles.
• Learning about other people's behaviours showed me how different I am in my lifestyle.
• I smile a genuine smile and know how to be truly happy.
• Happiness is from within and so is that true smile.
• You show a true smile when you are happy.
• A true smile does not involve negative feelings, people pleasing, or licking up to that someone.
• A way of life that is rare to find these days.
• Life is based on the materialism and greed of many people.
• The more people have, the less happy they have become with their lives.
• You want to smile and share your happiness with others.
• Be true to yourself and love yourself before you share that smile with others.

Why do people share fake smiles?

Is it the way they were raised?

Traumatic events can damage a person mentally. It is understandable that such negative issues can destroy one's smile forever.

Learn to grow and let me go to and to move on from these unhappy moments.

Too much tragedy has affected many people's lives. To stay with a fake smile won't improve your life in any way. The negative attitude brings more issues and smiles eventually disappear.

When you smile and talk to people, it is those people who you talk to may find you weird because of you true smile. I smile and talk to people and sometimes they do look at me weird.

Why do they look at me as weird?

• They don't have a genuine smile and my smile show them different.
• Also, my laugh makes them look weird at me.
• I can't stay unhappy, sad, or angry for a long time.
• I prefer to be happy and to share a true smile.
• I don't believe in a fake smile.
• People who live their lives with fake smiles are creating more negative problems.
• Positive lifestyles improve with more smiles and laughter.
• The negative lifestyle sees nothing but fake smiles and more sadness.
• Social lives need true smiles and positive energy to share good moments.
• I don't expect everyone to have that true smile. At least be happy in some way to enjoy an annual event.
• People live different and culture has a lot to do with the way people put themselves out there.

Everybody smiles, some are not a true smile and some are to show you there is that smile, but deep down they still feel hurt.

Other smiles are genuine from inside out making them and you feel great.
