    Smiles are earned, not gifted, fake smiles hold no value and make it harder to recognize genuine happiness.

    It’s fine for people to experience neutral and negative emotions, pretending to be happy doesnt improve anything.

    Maybe you should frown more instead.

      Seeing other people happy makes us happy

      Seeing other people sad makes us sad

      It’s called empathy, but I can understand it’s a foreign concept to a lot of people on here.

        I told you, if people smiles just cause they’re told to I won’t be happy seeing them smile cause it may be fake. If everyone fakes being happy whats the point? Fix the problem instead (if it’s possible, if not then bad luck, we can’t be happy everyday). And don’t lecture me on empathy, you’re the one who doesn’t acknowledge people might get rightfully upset when being told to ignore their feelings and fake happiness. It’s called oversimplifying things. They’re smiling? They’re happy! Bruh.

            Do you see a flashy video and don’t care if it’s AI or not cause who needs reality anyways? If I want fake videos I’ll go watch a movie. If I want fake smiles I’ll go for some theatre.
