Smiling for pictures is fucking weird

Wait wait wait. It’s okay to smile if other people are involved but if you’re alone, don’t smile?!
What? Why?
This is even more twisted, Doodles. I love being alone. When I’m alone, I am always smiling. I never stop. This is why I only smile in selfies and never with other people. It’s more honest that way. More in line with what God intended.
Stop. -

A smile in a selfie is weird unless you are genuinely smiling so seeing as you are so happy when you are on your own and therefore your smile is natural then I’m sure it looks completely fine. And not weird in any way. Or creepy at all. -

It depends.
Maybe some or most of those who smile in photos really are happy outgoing social butterflies.
And there are happy occasions such as birthdays, Christmas or a new store opening where a smile is natural.
The only group of a majority that I can think of now that do not smile are musicians or singers in their publicity photos and album covers.
The Hairy Armpits are really, really excited for their very first CD release, "No Razor," and would really, really love to see you at Club Dread this weekend where they will be very happy to perform!

It’s unnatural. You’re not necessarily happy when you smile for pictures. It’s dishonest and perverts the truth of the memory.
Too cheesy pie

"It’s unnatural.'"

I disagree, I think it really depends on when, where, and what is happening at the time the Photo is being taken.
What if it's a Photo of 1 person or several people smiling at some sort of a party, event, vacation, or a family reunion ? -

What if it is? Is my point.
Are you constantly smiling while with family? Never stopping? That’s off, man. Not normal.
The act of smiling for photos Is intended to artificially color the mood of the memory. It’s fake. It’s weird.
Once knew a guy who had something wrong, some condition. He couldn’t talk, he could only smile. Nice guy. Actually idk if he was nice. I don’t know whether the condition made him smile or if it was the only mode of communication available to him because he couldn’t talk. He could only smile.
You are not subject to such constraints. There is no equivocating or speculating as to your intentions when you put up a big goofy grin on family photos. You are lying in a vain attempt at projecting a happier mood than family time at the turkey table warrants.
Remember me when dad backhands uncle Larry for being a shameless Biden shill this Thursday. Then try smiling for the camera.
Stop.
