Does seeing people smile make you smile?

I tend to smile almost automaticly when I see people smiling or laughing in real life or on TV.

But when it comes to other emotional expresion I don't seem to copy them like I do with smiles.

I am aslo told I smile inappropriately but I'm not aware i'm doing it. Like my grandma got into a fight with my aunt and she was telling me this and apparently I was smiling because she told me "why are you smiling. Do you think this is funny?" and I didn't. I wasn't even thinking about anything at the time that was funny our found the situation funny in anyway.

Also when I was a baby my mom told me I had a very 'serious' face. She and my dad would take turns trying to make me laugh and smile. She thought it was anusual for a baby at that age to be like that.

But now I can't seem to stop smiling

Have you ever expirience anything like this?

Unfortunately my expression doesn't change much, even when I see other people smile. I'm always asked if I'm upset because I rarely smile.

I sometimes will frown while everyone is having a ball and people ask what is wrong, i always have late nights so i just say i had a late one last night and feel pretty tired.
worse thing is but that i might think of something funny in my head and get a big grin while trying to stop myself from luaghing wich makes me embarrased and people get confused. doesnt any one else ever come up with funny stuff in there head?
some people say i am always seem pissed off and others think i am always smiling, maybe my smile is a pissed of looking one.

I've plastered a fake smile on my face, since the fate of the Routemasters, last December. I also act a little tough, at times. That way, nobody asks me what's wrong.

Not really. I don't smile very much.

I do usually smile in return, if I see somebody smiling in my direction. But if I'm in a lousy mood, I probably wouldn't smile back.

Very often I smile in situations that do not typically elicit a smile. Laughs too, so much that people think that I'm actually not serious enough.

I have to smile spontaniously but I cannot fake a smile no matter how hard I try. If someone tells me to smille while they take a photo the image looks like I have bit hit by a giant ugly stick.

I'll respond to real smiles but how many of those do you really get to see, other than that smiling people piss me off.

I smile...I think.

though according to my dad, it takes a girls name to make me smile. ere that of my first ex girlfriend or one of my close friends. other then that, I have a look that says "yeah, don't mess with me."

I never smile. I can fake it but I hate it

Usually i'll smile at things that aren't funny and not smile when others do, while i enjoy humour there is some that i just don't get, or it takes me a while to undersatnd.

Usually i'll think or see or read something that i find amusing, this will cause me to smile. I really freaked my cousin out by doing this, she kept on giving me strange looks and trying to figure out what i found funny. This was until my Mother told her that i did it all the time and that you get used to it.

I don't think i am very good at faking smiles, probably because i do not bother, usually when i have to, ie when i am upset and my Mother is checking that i am ok, i will briefly raise the corners of my mouth, though i'm not sure if that counts.

Yes, seeing other people smile makes me smile.

Most of the time, it depends on the nature of the person, and I've run into some very nice people in my life!
