Weirdly, she descended into early-onset dementia by age 51 or 52, and she was still that same way. Her siblings took her to see the house where they grew up, and she clapped her hands in delight, all smiles, when they told her where she was, but when they asked, "Do you remember it at all?", she cheerfully told them no. She's now about 70, happy as a clam from what I'm told, but has no idea who she is and doesn't recognize her son or anyone else.
It's funny (odd) that perhaps she simply doesn't have enough brain function left to be unhappy! What's to be unhappy about if you don't understand all the things that could cause worry?
You think that people are always mean for a reason? And if you're nice and smiley then people have no reason to be mean to YOU? No - mean people find reasons to be mean...so basically they're just mean by temperament and it doesn't matter what you do, so don't take it personally or over-inflate yourself over it.
Sometimes, depending on the person, "happy" people are viewed as simpletons, or in other cases, perhaps jealousy on the part of the "angry" person regarding the "happy" person.
Hmmm, I don't know about jealousy, I don't think people are thinking to themselves that it looks like fun or that the employee is happy doing that job. I think it's more like when people pick on others for being 'losers', as though there is some sort of underlying fear that it's catching.
Back in my native country, smiling is considered stupid.
Sad but true.
So, if you're smiling at those passing by you, it is meant you are laughing at them, like something is wrong with them.
Smiley face is invented at multicultural countries to show friendliness, but didn't go that far as being accepted by everybody.
Anyway, I, also, give smiley faces any time remembered.
The more I am with my dog, the less I like people. Old saying but truer today than ever.
