  1. This happens to me quite frequently and I never know how to respond! I’ve had girls in high school say “Every time I see you you’re smiling… why?” and the only thing I could think to say is “Why does there have to be a reason?”

    • The rule isn’t “there has to be a reason.” It’s “no matter the amount of smile on your face, someone will criticize it.” I like your response though! Happy Saturday to you and your beautiful face!

  3. On a personal level I understand how perkiness can be grating, but just coming at someone for their positivity is fucked up.
