Is this freaking weird and creepy or what? Here is the website cuz I can't figure out how to link stuff yet (ya I know you don't have to tell me how lame that sounds):

Check it out and let me know why this is somehow 'sweet and genius' or whatever it is this lady writer is saying. Because I think its creeeeeepy.
I read this article:
http://www.xojane.com/relationships/never-ever-tell-me-smile
after reading another similar article on glamour.com and totally agreed and laughed and remembered all the times this has happened to me.
Maybe its because my mom can be the same way i.e. if she's tired sometimes she takes on a sad quiet expression and it TICKS her off when everyone asks her "whats the matter?" "awh are you ok?" or that if Mariah is in a bad mood you just steer clear and let her come around in her own time. Anyways, maybe those contribute to me wanting to punch someone (and the article is right, its never women) square in the face when they tell me to smile.
I am a very naturally happy person. I laugh and sing and talk to myself/my dog when no one else is around (did I really just admit to that?). I am a total goof ball and spaz when I'm with my family and friends. I genuinely try to be nice and friendly to everyone I meet. I do not, however, go around with a stupid grin plastered on my face all day. Why would I? I know I'm happy, I know I'm grateful for all of the blessings in my life, I know I love everyone and everything that I have. I don't have to smile to know that.
And for some reason you guys think that by telling me to smile its gonna make me want to? "Oh! Yes sir! I'll get right on that sir!" *smile*. Uh, yeah, no. No way. In fact when someone tells me "hey why don't you smile?" or "come on smile, be happy, life's beautiful" or some other crappy line I want to do the exact opposite. One time I did: Someone kept telling me to smile (an acquaintance) over and over but I was already upset. Finally I just looked him dead in the eyes and bared all my teeth in a very pained pissed off smile. And it was awesome.
I'm allowed to look anyway that I want: weepy, ecstatic, cocky, mean, stand offish, angry, perplexed, happy, dangerous, ANYTHING and that is my perogative (i love using that word). Thats great and awesome that you walk around smiling at everyone; its great for you. Just allow me to walk around as I please. As juvenile as it sounds when someone tells me to smile I want to go all miss attitude on them and say "bitch please, you don't knooooow me" ha but I won't.
Anyone else agree with me on this one?
Love,
Kxoxo
PS: both me and E were told in high school/jr high that we looked pissed off or rude when we walked down the hall. it was news to both of us! we thought/think we're both very nice and happy people haha
PPS: geez I kinda do sound like a jerk in this post but I promise I'm not
