I feel just fine, but everyone else keeps telling me I never smile, have a definate frown, look mad, all the time. This is going on for months, even though my mental health is incredibly improved. I think I'm laughing and smiling, but that's not what they say.

So, I began to study smiling, happiness, and all that. Study, study, study all the time. I loosely compare this to an ugly physical wound, but the wife says "No, you can fix this." I've tried two weeks and they still say I'm a bummer.

Am I angry about something? Is it my teeth? Do I really have to deal with this just because everyone else thinks I should? Is it something I can do successfully, or is it I'm 52 yrs old and I just frown all the time?

That's not how I want to be known, and now I'm very upset. Often I think things are a certain way only to learn they are not, and it's my picture that's mostly wrong, over and over again.

I am really in great shape right now. What is this demon?
