Smiling

Post Reply New Topic

that's okay; I like them. :D is that last one Link?

I smile all the time no matter what my mood is. Even when I am suicidal and depressed I smile and laugh. It is so bad that people think everything's great with me when it isn't true. I can never show a sad face even if my life depended on it. Always smiling.

I usually don't smile or frown. but people have learned to guess my moods fairly accurately. :D

I always get the urge to laugh whenever I see a child getting punished. It happens when my nieces and nephews get in trouble, and it happened many years ago when my younger brother would get in trouble. I don't think it's funny, I just get this inexplicable urge to laugh.

Also, I'd get the urge to laugh whenever my school made us have a moment of silence in memory of a tragedy. Again, it's not funny to me, but I still want to laugh. It's like a reflex or something.

Some aspies don't smile much or display many emotions at all. Others smile a whole lot. It's hard to generalize there. Most aspies do, however, have some problems with expressing their emotions appropriately.

I laugh or smile when I'm nervous or in an uncomfortable situation. I also laugh at serious things that I really don't think are funny. I get nervous at church and laugh and I almost went into hysterical laughter at a relitives funeral.

Horribly enough I tend to laugh when I'm in trouble or getting yelled at. I have to bite my lip to keep from getting in more trouble. I wsih I could stop myself from doing that.

Actually, confusing responses to emotions is very common with everyone. There was a psychological experiment done in the 50's where people had to knowingly give electric shocks to someone with a heart condition. When some people heard the person yelling in pain from the shocks he was supposedly getting, some laughed. It's ironic that in the psychology class I was watching the movie, a good number of people laughed too. I think it's sort of a nervous reaction rather than actually thinking it's funny.

I thought I was the only person who ever did that... wow.

I do that too. It just makes the person angrier.

I have a lop-sided smile :P you can KIND of see it in my picture. I only smile on my left side. Some people think it's cute, but other people say it's a sarcastic smirk *shrugs*

I do that too, especially when I'm nervous or anxious. I get this wierd mouth thing of "smiling" or "smirking" that makes NTs really pissed off about my reaction. So yes, I'm totally with you. I think the "don't show emotions" is a lot of NT BS.

I dont know what facial expression to use at any given time, I have a hard time with sarcasm, I dont know if people are trying to be funny or just cruel. Most of the time I have this totally serious face, and I am very insecure when it comes to smiling because i will do it at the wrong time, or maybe to a degree that is unappropriate, Im always afraid of giving people evil smiles, dont know if that makes sense.

Feel free to pm me on the topic or post here

people have always told me I show no emotion. I laugh a lot and giggle for no reason especially when I am nervous,
