At this very moment, I am staring at my computer screen and thinking what could be the next thing I can write about. I ponder over it for quite sometime and array of thoughts run through my head and I find myself smiling stupidly at the computer for no goddamn reason.
What exactly is the stupid smile?
I am strolling nonchalantly. All of a sudden, I remember a joke that a friend cracked in the morning and I smile to myself. To me, it’s absolutely normal. To the guy who walked past me right now, who is obviously unaware of my thought process, it may seem, well, creepy. Bordering on mental. And I still continue to smile in blissful oblivion. Stupidly.
The Stupid Smile is imbecilic combined with foolish and a dash of sheepish. The Smile that makes you look extremely intelligent in the eye of the beholder. (Sense the Sarcasm)
I can assure you, at one point in time all of us have been a victim of the stupid smile.
Here’s another instance, you accomplished a not-so-easy objective in front of all your friends and now you’re feeling smug about it. There is no way in hell that you can wipe that grin off your face! To you it’s absolutely normal. To everyone else around you though, it’s stupid.
The Stupid Smile also makes an appearance when someone compliments you and you know you deserve it because you checked yourself out and you liked what you saw. You actually want to say “I know.” but you obviously can’t say that out loud so you continue to give the person a polite smile and a modest ‘Thanks’ but little did you know it made you look well, Stupid.
You’re walking down the street, you trip and fall. Your friends saw you and laughed. You don’t want to embarrass yourself so you try to flash the “Its no big deal” smile but in reality you’re flashing the “I tripped in public, I’m trying not to look stupid” smile. And as always, after all the efforts, you do look stupid in the end.
It’s your birthday. You and your friends are standing around the birthday cake and all of them are singing the Birthday Song to you. You have no idea what to do with yourself so you smile at them. If only someone had clicked a picture of you at that moment would you know how stupid you looked.
The Stupid Smile Exchange:
You are in deep thought. Your mind is elsewhere and your eyes are fixated at one point thinking it’s a blank space. However, it isn’t a blank space and you are staring at someone with great intensity and you don’t even realize it. The subject is conscious and doesn’t know how to react to your weird behaviour so he/she gives you a Stupid Smile hoping that finally you’ll stop staring. That is when you realize that you’ve been staring at him/her all this while and return the Stupid Smile.
Smile Analysis isn’t exactly my forte but writing about silly things no one thinks about is.
