OR you were in someone else's dream and that's their dream defense trying to force you out.

Spoiler

Sorry...couldn't resist

I would say there's a girl you like and you're trying to attract her attention by various means but any attempt you've made so far failed and you hope an opportunity will come up to make her finally realize you. There may be other men who are in the same boat as you and perhaps you're perceiving them as some sort of threat.

My interpretation is that there're some men you don't trust because you think they're an obstacle between you and your goals. Perhaps you asked for advice about them and people told you not to get involved with them but you think they find you anywhere you go or there's no way you can avoid them.

Disclaimer: Don't take these interpretations seriously, they're not meant to give you great insight on your life.

Pat thats a really cool interpretations and sounds logical - thanks for putting your thoughts into it. Sometimes I like to hear logical shizz.

Regarding the first half - I'm trying to let someone go but the feelings are hard to let go so.... Also in the dream about that girl -- kind of felt she was in danger when I woke up. Can't really say I'm trying to attract per-se. Also, disclamier has been duly noted.

I confess I hate the way I smile.

 

[xi0]

I confess I hate the way I smile.

I think I do as well

Just self-conscious nonsense. People prefer to see one on your face rather than a scowl.

 

[blai]

I love the way I smile

 

[xi0]

I love the way I smile

Samesies

I mean you.


No but seriously, it's more a thing about who I let see me smile sometimes and what I'm doing it at. It's not necessarily about how it looks. I can't really see myself in such instances

 

[blai]

I see. The fact that I hate myself for who I am has nothing to do with how I look or something because I have no problem with how I look when I smile, jump, run, talk, sleep, whatever. I actually like the way I look when I show some emotions because I am rarely feeling them, meaning when I smile it looks exactly the same when I'm happy and when I'm faking it, meaning I kind of like how it looks like when I smile because it's believing enough for me to convince people that I'm feeling this or that and sometimes I use it to my advantage.

I used to like mine till I get braces D:

 

[xi0]

Yeah that's pretty warped...

But not much more than me biting my lip so I don't smile in front of certain people when watching a Romantic Comedy.


RIGHT?

wait......why did you get them if you didn't have a problem with your smile?

Yes, it really does come from being too self-aware. But also, it's always been uncomfortable for me to smile, because of my jaw problem and my teeth that were close to being fixed, but then I kinda ruined them by not wearing my retainer like I should. I also have a dead tooth that people always notice.

But also, someone just told me that my smile is weird. And if I could get a penny for every time someone has told me that... I'm just in a period of my life where I just can't... it's just... it's too much.

 

[Farfalla]

I had a problem with my front teeth that wouldn't be perceptive from some angles xD I guess they were minor, but wanted to eliminate them.

 

[blai]

That person probably told you that because it looked forced and not sincere. Either convince them that you're actually smiling, or don't smile at all. If you're in a period in your life where you're that down, don't even try to force it please, it's just adding an unnecessary mental strain on you.

 

[Adorien]

Nana, I feel your pain. (>T.T)> I might have to wear braces again in the future and have some more teeth taken out, because it's just bad... It hurts even.

He was commenting a photo. I really do make a somewhat forced smile when someone is taking my picture because I can never feel comfortable. But also... when I really do smile sincerely... it's weirder. ._. I don't like people seeing it.

I usually smile when I feel like it, but when I'm in front of people, I'm aware of myself and I make a half-assed smile, I think.

So vain



You seem like you've had them quite a long time though?

What Adam said...not sure why else it would be said

Any smile that looks "weird" is usually one that isn't natural. You can't look at someone's natural smile and really consider it weird as it should elicit feelings in oneself.

When you're smiling, the whole word smiles with you, etc etcetc

Oh yeah, I forgot about you job



Seems like you've had them forever.

You smarmy prick

 

[Adorien]

I know what you mean Gary, but I just can't smile openly in front of others. Maybe just my closest people see my real smile. Maybe.

 

[blai]

That's something I haven't come across in real life Adi, someone who can't show a smile to people they're not really close with. A smile is something that to me comes natural during an agreement, a positive statement, a joke etc. so I don't really know what to say...

You don't have to open your heart every time you smile, I don't find it difficult at all to smile. But then again, I'm dead inside so I can show any emotion really easy -.-''

 

[Adorien]

Well it's like... I kinda feel like smiling inside... but it's like I'm scared to really show it. Or something. I make a nervous smile or something. And somewhere in the back of my head I just know that I look bad when I smile. ._.
