Psychology predicts that If you force yourself to smile as much as you can all the time you become a happy sociopath who gets whatever they want in life.Try it.
>>16932411The 1988 study that claimed forcing a smile makes you happier failed replication. It was part of the investigation that led to what is now known as the "replication crisis."Right along with "power posing makes you feel more confident" and "learning foreign languages makes you smarter."

if you have to force yourself to smile more often than not, then something's already wrong with you, psychology is a fake science
>>16932416I remember these claims from the TED talks, those meeting were the biggest scam of the 2010's promising futures that could not exist.
>>16932426>if you have to force yourself to smile more often than not, then something's already wrong with youI dont but i'm often prodded to smile more. Particularly for pictures, but i only smile at funny or pleasant things. A picture isnt funny, seems neutral really.
>>16932411Smiling when you're sad just masks the pain, creating a logically absurd tension of cognitive dissonance like pleasant frustration that results in madness with each successive iteration.
>>16932426>psychology is a fake scienceI knew I wasn't schizophrenic, the voices told me so!
>>16933251schizophrenia doesnt work like you have a secret friend. You see random shadows and whispers, not a friend that talks to you.
>>16932411Okay but what does Trigonometry say about this?
>>16932416OP here and I have to say thank you for sharing this, I actually did not know this and did a little research and you are in fact correct. This is really interesting. I knew the whole "fake it till you make it" wishful thinking bullshit sounded kinda stupid when I first heard it, but this is the crap they teach you as a kid and you're expected to just believe it. Wew.
>>16933370The thing that I always find interesting is that basically everyone has heard of the replication crisis, especially in online discourse where it gets used as a blank check to disregard scientific findings they don't like. Meanwhile, very few of these peole could actually name a single study that was flagged in the initial investigation.
>>16933370Oh, and sorry for the double-post, but I'll give some charity to the schools that taught you these things. The replication crisis study was like 10 years ago or something. You might have heard about these things before that. And if it was around the same time, well it takes time for education to catch up with research. Your school's textbooks were probably years out of date when you had them. And teachers will speak off-the-cuff at times about things they half remember from their education or shit they heard somewhere and took at face value. They're human.

>>16932411>PsychologyI havnt seen more than a couple seconds of his, totally not interested so I dont have a rebuttle to anything he has done.
>>16932411I've instinctively tried this my whole life and it absolutely does not work. In fact I think it's the opposite. Smile less and your life will be better.
>>16933250Is a real smile you can't cheat, you can smile sincerily out of depression happens all the time
