Not this again... Jesus, smile all you want. Why the fuck would you want to stop smiling? I smile whenever I want and people don't see me as a beta, but as a guy who is always happy, full of energy and they want to be around me.

It's good you've identified this problem.

Ideally, you need to become more stoic and grounded. Constant smiling, especially to girls, can come across as try-hard.

You need to identify the cause of your smiling.

Is it because you're genuinely happy, or is it to validate others you are happy to be in their presence. The latter is the weakness you need to remove if it's true.

You mean you're like Private Pyle? The only advice I have is to look out for when you absolutely cannot smile - a sad bit during a movie, thinking about a dead pet, or during a lift when your muscles are totally exhausted - and try and feel like that more often. In the movie, the drill instructor chokes Private Pyle until he stops grinning, but then he also goes on to commit murder-suicide, so I wouldn't be that drastic.

Smiling makes you happy why would you want to stop? Ah yeah because you’ve read in the “real manly man guide” that a real man should be stoic. Fuck that.

It depends on how you smile
