I probably get asked this multiple times per day...I'm a thinker so I'm usually deep in thought and maybe my facial expression looks like there's something wrong. The first time someone asks, I assume they're just being nice and tell them I'm fine. Then when they keep digging and digging it's like they WANT to push me over the edge. I was fine, but now I'm not.

The other thing is when people (it's usually men, just pointing out the statistics, no offense to men here) tell me to smile. Maybe there's nothing at that moment to smile about and I don't see why I should fake my emotions just to satisfy you. Just because I'm not smiling doesn't mean something is horribly wrong. I'm not thrilled, not depressed. I'm just OKAY. And that should be OKAY.

Finally, in relation to what I just said (I know those weren't really questions but still annoying remarks from people)... when I was getting my picture taken for my permit the lady told me to smile with my teeth instead of just my lips like I was doing. I had to explain to her that my teeth are messed up...which was embarrassing as hell.
