Smiling at work

[whatisforteamum]

So while I'm awaiting an ADHD or even audhd assessment in the next couple of weeks it was mentioned in passing that I wasn't smiling at work.
It was mentioned at my last place before where I was miserable due to being ostracized.
My new job has some lovely colleagues who mostly comment how positive I am about my job and can't believe I have so much energy.
Should I really have to fake smiling behind the scenes at work.?
I would consider my self really happy apart from being told this.

Just me then.🤣

Do you mind me asking who told you that you are not smiling enough? If your manager told you then yes I think you need to do more “fake smiling”. If it was someone less important then I would probably just ignore them, especially if you already get on well with your colleagues.

It was the manager who wanted to take a photo in a passing comment.
Must admit I'm not smiling when I'm concentrating.

I'd be inclined to ignore this person, manager or not. Forced smiling is bad for your health.

I once got feedback from the interviewer, after not getting a job, that I should smile more. I was immediately glad that I'd not got the job. I don't exist as decoration.
