i have noticed that whenveri have a smile on my face which is like 55% of the time up from 20% a few months ago.... i get more noticed .. i am fun to be around. i can melt the coldest hearts . if you know what i mean .

i have to have something to smile about to have one in my face ... like something that recnetly happened . a joke i read .went to s-club a few days back . kept me simling for around 2 days lol .. .but then it went away ...

how can i make it so i have a smile and stay calm the other 45% of the time ...... i am a nervous wreck alone ... smile and being calm helps too much .

smile and being calm is a combination taht i must have .. how can i keep both

The key here is not to ask an internet forum what you think will keep you calm and happy.

You need to ask yourself that question, because only you know the answer.

The next time you are happy and/or calm, stop and think about why you feel this way. Try not to do this just the one time, because it could be many different things that make you feel this way.

And you don't have to be smiling all the time, people will think that you are a bit of a creep haha. So just relax, chill and smile when it's the right time to do so (don't think about having to smile, let it come naturally, it will make the smile a sincere one).

That's all I can offer at the moment though, good luck.

Small tip, don't put so much attention to News, T.V, magazines.... They all have a way of making you think twice about yourself. I tend to read the comic strips alot in newspaper so i always start my day with good laughs... Its a good way to just stay positive and be happy.

I do put on the news every now and then just to get a heads up of whats going, but I dont need 3 hrs a day of why our economy sucks.

you are damn right! stay away from every little news that could mess up your mind. i agree on the fact everything is a lot easier when we are smiling... but it has to be a honest smile, faking it doesnt work the same.
of course everybody's different but we can share our tips, that's the point of this community!

sometimes i think about the situation i am in, and that makes me smile... like you are watching yourself. you are there, in front of a cute woman trying to attract her... and most of the time, if she answers back with a smile, it just keeps it up. thinking of a joke, trying to make your buddy laugh... everything is good.
