Smiles are not always contagious

I don't understand that people say that smiles are always contagious, I find that not everyone I smile at smiles back. Why do so many people say that they're ALWAYS contagious?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    It depends, if I detect it's a fake smile, I don't smile back. If it's a warm genuine smile, I pepper spray them in their eye's.

    • I thought you were giving a serious answer until the pepper spray part.

        I was, I actually smile back :) I hate it when I smile at someone and they just give me a dead look. Then I want to pepper spray them lol!

      Fake smiles are creepy with those dead eyes.

    The world is sad I'll try to smile if I see someone smiling at me the phrase is more true with kids then adults we've seen more shit. If someone dont smile back they could be dealing with something like the Jessica seybold case in there family. It could also be they are afraid to let go to some degree with can come off as bichy people have there reasons and the world jades us all eventually

    Sometimes they are, sometimes not. As for why they say that, I guess they're just repeating what they've heard, even though it's not true.

    • Yes, it's not true.

    I hear yawning is contagious. From my experience that is strangely very true.

    • Yawning's more true than smiles.

    I've never heard reference to the always part. Just that "smiles are contagious". For the most part it seems true.

    • It's not even the most part to my experience. You always either get pricks/britches who just don't want to smile, or you sometimes get someone who's either in a horrible mood, or really not feeling well who just don't have it in them to smile back.

        That's a shame, I'm sorry.
