Why We Fake Smile? We all fake a smile sometimes in our life. More than often there are social situations where even if we don’t feel like smiling, we still do, to make things less awkward for others.

A fake smile is a smile that does not genuinely reflect a person’s emotions or feelings. It can be used to hide negative emotions, mask pain, or deceive others.

People often use fake smiles in social situations, to appear friendly or approachable, even when they are feeling unhappy or uncomfortable.

A smiling face gives a signal that everything is alright, even though you may be emotionally sad or broken. Sometimes we all feel faking a smile is much easier than explaining and expressing the reasons for your sadness.
