it can be just a mask. You can be really surprised when you see a smile take over that angry face.

no... i'd assume they were upset, or that they can have that neutral natural looking harshness to them... in my days, when i'm upset and a stranger smiles, i always feel that much better

a smile truly can make a difference

No! Some people (like me) have a serious look on our faces all the time because we work hard for a living, and have to put up with alot of crap from other, mostly ignorant people. Just say hi and you will see that smile shine through. :) <---

I try not to assume things about a person. I look like I'm about to kill someone in one of my yearbook pictures, but that is totally opposite of my personality. So, therefore I don't assume mean-looking people are mean people. I normally get bad vibes from the smooth-talkers! lol. Kinda weird, but oh well. It takes me YEARS and YEARS to open up to them. But the people that look mean? I open up to them faster.
