 Just saw the last @MaxDeMarco video about stopping smiling for 6 months

That's a perspective I never truly though about...it may be worth investing some time looking into that aspect of my social life.

Four points to really look into, thanks @MaxDeMarco  
 Let me know how you’ll incorporate it into your life! 
For me it was a game changer would love to see if it helps other people as well 🫂 
 Only authentic smiles are allowed, right? Otherwise I don’t get this. 

Sure, will watch the video later cause I clearly want to know this so much. 
 That's basically the gist of it, yes. But that realisation probably comes only after the awareness that we tend to please other people too much. Only by forcing yourself to NOT please anyone at all you probably understand that sometimes you're welcome to do it, but only when that's truly genuine. Fascinating point of view imo 
 I’m an RBF Eastern European so this comes naturally
