I (17) can only smile when I’m genuinely happy. Whenever I try to fake it, people get upset. I’m autistic and I have no idea how my behavior comes off to other people, I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I am horrible at faking things, and I very much struggle to lie. I want to get a job soon, and I’m going to assume that I will need to make faces and fake tone, but I can only fake tone when copying someone directly, which obviously won’t work.

Most of the time i try to think of something funny. I also noticed for myself that when I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth I can smile more genuine with my teeth.
