                germans never smile and we dont need that kind of emotion around here spunki.

                  Step 1:
                  Actually be attractive.
                  Step 2:
                  Have decent looking teeth and not garbage ones.

                      my teeth are okayish, i feel bad about them but i think they are not really the issue

                      the issue is the smile itself

                        nah dont worry the issue aint ur smile, its just about u urself

                        faw

                          not sure what how u mean that

                          in a sense of every smile is ok or im ugly af :thinking:

                                Srsly tho I have the same problem.....u just have to accept that you might not look good in pictures....its not something to be ashamed of or feel bad about

                                faw

                                  no, i can smile, my smiles ok

                                  but i cant smile when a camera is around

                                    i have the same

                                    just dont smile, it looks way better...you can slightly arch your lips upwards so that you look at least a bit friendly. and not like a complete psycho

                                      ^ 100% know where youre coming from, havent taken a selfie since i was pre much 12, cant pose for group photos till this day - natural instinct is to offer to take the photo of gtfo cause it feels forced

                                      pretty sure youll realise you like the way you look if a friend happened to take a pic without you knowing and it was natural

                                      my advice, make sure you always squint cause that's what makes a smile genuine & start off with a grin and if you don't find the moment funny enough to actually laugh to show teeth, it'd simply be a photo of you being goofy and it's clear you're in a happy mood and don't care

                                          maybe get shitfaced before taking the photo ~

                                          then you will throw away most of your self dignity and be able to smile or get naked for the camera <3

                                            Think about your tongue (press it against your front teeth), also try to be relaxed. Also dont worry im sure you have a great smile!
                                            You can also think about having Closed and or half open mouth if you are tryharding.
                                            You can also hold your hand infront of your mouth and smile in the mirror.
                                            then focus more on your eyes. see how they move naturally and weird if you force it.
                                            Another thing to note is the Modelilussion.

                                            You do not look as you think you do, especially in the mirror. And or in pictures.
                                            Not even what you see is in a picture, is what other people see. you like everybody else is bais to your self.
                                            for ex you might think your best pictures is great, others know its not.
                                            your worst picture might be your best. i see this every day.

                                            last words, dont overthink it. Nobody else does. Exept perhaps me.

                                                    Well i guess you gotta "train" it, just like actors would do. Stand infront of a mirror and give your best smile. Try to "get" how it feels. Which muscle is tensed and which is relaxed. Keep that in mind.

                                                    Next step is to start smiling that way, just by thinking about how the muscles felt when you trained it infront of the mirror. Then look into the mirror and see if its the same result. rinse and repeat.

                                                          first train in mirror how you need to use your muscles
                                                          then force smiles here and there in your daily life

                                                            You shouldn't be smiling, if you don't want to, like what the fuck.

                                                            As if there is something that makes you ought to smile.

                                                            If anything, retarded insencere smiles would make me feel alienated.
