YOU smiled at someone. A complete STRANGER. For the sake of this Q, we will even include "grins". WHY did you do it?
OR, someone smiled or grinned at you? WHY did they do it?
For no apparent reason????????
There sure seem to be more than a few "pessimistic" attitudes here.
I am betting, if you were dressed as a guy, many of you thought nothing of it? Perhaps you simply returned the smile and went on your merry way?
But IF you were dressed as a woman [doing your best to "pass"] THEY were being "foolish" or insensitive to even make eye contact with you much less have the AUDACITY to offer a smile or grin? They smiled at you? Obviously, it's because they "busted" you? And just had to let you know?
If you are "miserable", at least at times, because you are a CD of some sort, chances are good... that your biggest enemy is as close as the nearest mirror.
Society is NOT out to get us or "hurt our feelings" and the sooner one understands that, the less stressful being different will become.
Maybe a better Q, is when was the last time you smiled at all for any reason?
If you have two functioning arms and legs, a job or income of some sort, and a roof over your head, you are better off than millions of folks on this rock we call earth.
