Aye, but if you learn to smile as an ordinary action, you're just changing your true persona.
Thanks to the way humans are wired, a habit of regularly faking smiles will generally lead to a person who genuinely smiles a lot. The exceptions seem to generally be those who have an investment in the smiles staying fake.
Yes, but that wasn't the way it was presented. Or at least not how I read it.
I will readily concede I am tact-filtering here. I leave it to him to say if it's accurate, but it's what I've done in similar situations, so I'll give him the benefit of the tact-filter :)
