My fake smile is very weak and my minimal laughter is insincere. My ability to carry a conversation has become virtually zero.

Hey Guest,
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Facts. I try to keep it light and limit my social interaction to near 0... I've always had a terrible fake smile... I can however pretend better when I'm drunk so most occasions where I have to interact I get functionally drunk
I am definitely not the type of person who can hide feelings well. You WILL know if im happy, mad, sad etc.
I guess its kinda good? You're not lying or pretending..

I don't really hide my emotions, if something annoys me I'll probably mention it. I do conceal my existential dread and mental state though.
Gotten to the point where I automatically smile if the cues are there. During work thoughts are raging but the body is on auto pilot. Basically I dont make people worry

Very hard for me. I'm learning though
Nope I cant fake it anymore. I used to be able to. At my old job I constantly had to wear a fake smile and when people asked how I was doing I really wanted to say "terrible how about you"
I'm a chameleon with a poker face. Keep up appearances and no one bothers me.

I used to be able to. Not anymore. Being able to fake it is crucial to being able to survive out there--unless you're gorgeous or otherwise very desirable.

I think I can if I put all my effort to it but it's getting harder every time.

In former times I used to but now I can't hide it anymore
No. My face reflects how I feel. Sometimes I had to hide that I am angry so people don't think I get upset by the wrong reasons.

I'm good in suppressing my feelings as I don't want pple to worry about me. But it hurts inside and no one can tell.

Smiling so that I don't annoy anyone with my pain is my entire life.

It depends on who im with. With my class mates and friends i think i can fake very well. But if were talking people who know me, my pain and my situation, i cant. They look right through it.

I'm quite the opposite - my fake smile i wear so often that sometimes it almost feels real. I can laugh a lot, smile, but on the inside I would always love to put a bullet through my brainstem. In a way I don't like how good I am at faking it - sometimes I wish I wasn't able to fake it and that people I know irl would ask me if I'm doing ok.
But that's just a pipe dream - I don't have any friends who care about me. I'm really just a background figure.

Yep. I'm everyone else's rock but where's everyone when I need them? Gone.

Me too. Whole life. Like one of those characters in a movie whose body you see as a hulking thing waaaaaaay in the background. No lines. No interactions. No significance.

i hate faking smiles and i never did it. even in family pictures the whole group was smiling except me. everyone could tell there was something not quite right with me. but then a few years ago i got so sick and tired of sticking out i started faking a smile in pictures just to fit in. but now i hate taking pictures even more.

I don't really feel emotions anymore. I can fake any if required, which they are at work and when I see my family.

No, I don't fake it. That would require too much energy that I just don't have.
depends on the day. some days i am so depressed and weak i can't even force half a smile but most days i am convincing but i think thats because the fake smile is the ones everyone has gotten to know so its my go to. i used to be able to fake it all day everyday but now i only do it when i absolutely have to because its too tiring
