do you smile? - Page 4

When I smile, my eyes smile, too. I think whatever shows out of my mask takes on a new demeanor. I'm usually a happy person, thankful/grateful to others who help w/ bagging groceries, giving directions, etc.

I've given up a lot with this COVID. Smiling never. I still know there's a smile underneath the cloth. That matters to ME.

I'm noticing, especially in stores, some people actually keep eyes turned away and heads down. Now that depresses me.

Yes I smile all the time. It's hard not to with the my pets.

Before the pandemic, I'd smile at folks in stores and a lot of times they would strike up a conversation with me. I think we all need human connection, I worry about people with this pandemic. I know I miss being around others, but I do have my dh and some friends/family I talk by on phone.

Thank you for all your great replies. I am trying hard to remember to smile during the day.

My smile is in my eyes, my laugh is as it has always been. No holes barred.

I do not because I do not like my teeth

@SeaMaiden - 2021 - get those veneers! You deserve them and you will be so glad you did! Do it!

What difference does it make? Nobody can see a smile when you're wearing a mask.

@Kachina624 - We can see your lovely smile in your eyes!!

Believe it or not, I wake up smiling. Actually, that's a lie. As I come out of the bedroom I'm smiling and clenching my teeth. Like when you hear really great news.

I don't know when this started, I'm just aware that I do it.

I think I'm just so thankful for my life and the life that I have.

But I'm a smiler, for sure. I'm proud of my smile. My original teeth! (Okay, I have 2 implants in the back.) They still look like the teeth in my senior picture.

Can't say I smile too much under my mask. I try to stay away from people. I do self checkout as much as possible just to avoid contact!

Of course! It's even more important to smile with a mask on! Other's will see your smile in your eyes.

Also, smile when answering the phone; your smile will appear in the tone of your friendly voice.

That is so true!

They actually handed out little standup mirrors in the Customer Service Dept. at the bank I worked for. It said *Can your smile be heard?*

Everyone had one on their desks. I always wanted one!

I'm a friendly person and am always ready with a smile when coming across people I know or strangers. The mask hasn't stopped that. I know we smile with our eyes as well as our mouths and people can see it. I see it in others. I always feel just a little better when smiling at someone and getting a smile in return.
