Look, I get that often times men do not understand why women are so irate about small things, such as telling us to smile, but articles such as this one below really touch a personal nerve with me. As someone constantly [winning] suffering from RBF I find it quite insulting when men (yes, it is literally always men. Okay, okay ONE TIME the security guard downstairs always asked me why I looked upset all the time but that is NOT telling me to smile and she seemed honestly concerned so it's nice to know someone's looking out. you know what, that doesn't even count. It's only men) tell me to smile. Or tell me I look prettier when I smile. Or tell me to smile more often.
Therefore, I am telling all of you to read this article on the 33 Thoughts That Go Through A Women's Mind When You Tell Her To Smile. I like to imagine this girl thinking my favorites (below).
