People smile because of many reasons. Some people smile to express feelings of happiness, gratitude, affection, etc. Starting our day with a smile help brighten our day and other people’s day too.

expressions, especially the eyes. When a person is genuinely smiling, even his/her eyes seem to be smiling.

People smile when they take photos because smiles bring a charm to our face and make the photos more memorable and beautiful. Photos are reminders of memorable events and smiling faces bring back happy memories.

7. Do you think people who like to smile are more friendly?
If I talk from personal experience, I couldn’t agree more. My mother gets a lot of compliments about her infectious smile and she is one of the friendliest people I know. I think people find it easier to approach or talk to people who smile and thus they seem more friendly for sure.

8. Do people smile more when they are younger or older?
I think smile has nothing to do with age. Both young and old people like to smile. I think young people may be more honest about their happiness when they smile and it might not be the case with older people as they are certainly better at masking their true feelings.
