I worked at a retail store where it was literally me and like ten girls (I'm a guy)
I once told one of them I had never had a girlfriend and she liked freaked out and almost ever person was like WTF YOU!? YOU'RE SO CHIPPER AND FUNNY!
On a related note: I have always seen it as I feel bad, so I have no interest in anyone else feeling bad so I smile and hide how I feel so no one else can ever feel sad because of something I said.
general thread note: yeah I was at a doctor and they said "I literally can't tell if you're sad because you're sitting there laughing" which then of course I actually thought it was funny so I laughed again...
