Someone mentioned in a previous post about purposely having poor social etiquette. I dont know why everyone thinks that I'm presenting poor social etiquette ON PURPOSE! I mean I wish I had better social etiquette, and if you knew me, my social awkwardness is real not done on purpose and I would do anything if I could turn on a switch and have good social etiquette.

I don't know how to get rid of the b***h appearance.

And better advice then just walking around with a fake smile plastered on my face. Honestly not everyone goes around being all "smiley" but not everyone comes off as a b***h?

I hate to say it, but smiling more is the best advice you can get. I'm not a natural smiler either- I'm always getting told by complete strangers to SMILE!! and it pisses me off completely, but out of all the tips for coming across as friendly, it's the main one.

yeah, no kidding, telling me to smile just annoys me.
