probably. i don't smile much and i'm quite happy and it seems to drive people into a rage when they ask me why I don't smile and I tell them I don't to fake it to make it. at least in american culture, if you are smiling constantly you are apparently horrible and depressed.

def not true of other cultures though. I lived in Germany for awhile, and they think the American obsession with smiling is utterly bizarre.
