What looks more silly?

Quote from fantasygoose

Smiling in public or being sad in public?

Because I was grocery shopping today.

And while I was there, I sometimes felt like smiling at some things.

But because of the fact that I thought I looked silly for smiling and felt like people would judge me, I switched to a poker face.

And then next time I found myself smiling, I switched to a kind of sad expression.

Because I felt like that was the opposite of smiling.

I don't know why I'm like this.

I don't like it when I feel like strangers are judging me and perhaps being like "Look at this weirdo"

switching faces is kinda sus out in public so if you're smiling, keep smiling! its no big deal

also also (same tho)

Smiling in public.

It's normal to be sad in public in this day and age.

technically if one was wearing a masks one wouldn't know if you were smiling or sad face no?

You're thinking too much I would say. What if they are also wondering the same about themselves what you were wondering about yourself? Everyone is self conscious. Especially in public places. These strangers are not gonna remember you after they pass you unless you are as good looking as me

So I just express whatever I might be feeling in the moment. I think you should do the same

Around here is rooted so much in southern hospitality that it can feel weird not to smile

Just make you normal face... if you not happy then no smilie, if you are not sad then don't make a sad face.
