Why are Europeans so unhappy? They dont even smile...

>>225369478>happiness means you smile at randosAmerica is a schizophrenic country
>>225369478I saw Americans write similar things about Greek men during the 2004 Olympics I remember one of them calling it a "Mona Lisa" smile
>>225369526>Germans smile like a stone cold statue with zero emotionGermany is an autistic country
>>225369478There are made up differences made to either to entertain American housewives who read them in magazines or for Europeans to pretend how their generic country is somehow cool, quirky and unique and lick their own ass.
>>225369526Poors can be enthusiastic but they are to scared to show it, they will be called crazy if they show any emotions to their countrymen>>225369526
>>225369478What's there to smile about?
>>225369526How I be looking at you behind my computer right now Heinrich
Yuros are backwards!!
>>225369877
>>225369478Can't be bothered smiling unless I am actually happy and having fun. Something that happens maybe once every five years.
>>225369526What so you guys can fucking stare without blinking for minutes on end but we can't smile back and nod to acknowledge your existence? You big ole babies
Smiles are good for the soul. The less you smile, the smaller your soul.
>>225369478I work in retail where I have to smile quite a lot & it's completely fake & put on. Most of the time internally I'm wishing they'd just fuck off already & that I could go home.Only time it's genuine is with younger kids (who are almost always really polite) and women.
>>225369478they have got a point and it is an important message. do you want fake smiles all around, no, this is an american fake happiness thing
>>225369478Nothing wrong with smiling if its a genuine smile, but something is off with always grinning like a disturbed person.
>>225375100That's pretty good, over half the time genuine then
>>225369526>being friendly to people we do not know? showing kindness to the world around us? VE DO NOT DO THAT IN GERMANY!
>>225369478Nothing to smile about in life
Australians say the same when they come here. Lots of resting bitch faces.
>>225373513Why do you need random people to acknowledge your existence? Or why would they need yours?
>>225373564Yes the first thing I think when I see a surgically enhanced, artificially tanned white woman smile with a vacant blank expression that describes pain in the most harrowing way I can imagine, I immediately assume she is brimming with soul.
>>225378293Pretending to be friendly due to social obligation is more insulting than just being honest. It's a duplicitous cultural adaptation and it's something you expect a retail manager would expect, not autonomous living, breathing humans. Why does honesty offend you so much?
>>225380091>hospitality is insultingSounds like something a retarded foid would say.
>>225379950Because they stare. If you're taking someone's attention by staring in return you get a reaction because you can't not notice it.
>>225378271You could see it that way, but I'm an optimistic, people-pleasing sort of person & I promise absolutely none of my coworkers share in that. They don't give the slightest shit & I don't blame them.
>>225380091It may not be real but it fosters an atmosphere of friendliness which in turn makes people feel comfortable to act with genuine kindness.
>>225369526Americans also do weird things like go near strangers in public and talk to people who they don't even know. One time American literally touch me in public, I turned around thinking somebody will rob me and there it was, American next to me, asking something. Weirdest thing is that they never give any warning from far away. They just teleport close to you, then fucking touch you.
>here's is the friendly guy you should trust I was talking about
>>225384632This nigga got PTSD from an interaction with an american
Americans smile to show that they can afford veneers and dental surgery. It's a status thing
>>225369478I have facial paralysis and I can't smile strongly. It causes my face to twitch then start drooping temporarily. I avoid smiling and laughing as much as possible.
>>225389022Foreigners/immigrants (americans) don't even act like people when they are in Finland. Americans don't even know basic social norms.
>>225369526Americans smile at people they don't know? We funny do zat in Germany! What if your fellow citizen was Adolf Hitler and you smiled at him? This is so uncanny! If the original French revolutionaries could see this shit they wouldn't even bother
>>225380091Why must we be pretending you faggots? Our people just aren't as unbearable as you. You think if I smile at some random on the street or nod to them I'm now obligated to always do that or the happiness goblin comes and steals my happiness for showing it? Your the ones who are fake as fuck. German and Russian philosophy is just "I must be so profound because I'm sad". Even Voltaire had your pretentious bullshit pinned.
>>225390010Your social norms are psychopathic
>>225384632>least antisocial finn
