I think it's downright rude. It hasn't personally happened to me too many times and I understand in every way that the person can mean well, but my opinion stays. Is that so weird? I just think that if I'm not smiling and this person haphazardly notices my non-smiling face and goes ''Smile! It can't have been that bad.'' ... It can't have been that-
O RLY? How do you know this? Do you follow my every footstep? Are you in my life? Do I know you? Are you psychic, then? Can you go away before I slap you?
I know, this isn't something to get your pubic hair in a twist for but, still, it's annoying but no one around me seems to think so.
I mean, what if my cat gave birth to premature/undeveloped kittens this morning all over my house and the sight was scarring? It can't have been that bad. What if last night my entire family died and I am now an orphan? It can't have been that bad. What if I was diagnosed with some almost incurable mental illness? It. Can't. Have. Been. That. Bad.
Really, Mrs. Graham? (Excuse the inner Jenna Marbles, that's the teacher that told me to 'smile'.) So, what would your definition of 'that bad' be? Complete apocalypse of nuclear war maybe? Or a morning without a coffee?
Maybe it would change if she told me that for every second I didn't smile innocent panda babies died terrible sad deaths.

When they ask me to smile, I smile. I have nothing to smile about other than moving such an annoying situation along.
Ha.
I usually smile quite a lot. So much so that I sometimes get strange looks for just smiling to myself whenever I think of something which makes me laugh or just happy. Besides that, I usually have no particular look on my face, it just is what it is, and that often gets me the occasional "cheer up" or "smile" and even a few "you look depressed", even though I'm not really anything. I don't get it, I don't look depressed!
Anyway, I'd say it's normal:).
*death stare*
Tell them to go f*** themselves.
*I can't use real swear words yet, otherwise my comments don't show up for a few days. Stupid mother-f***ing rules!
*Fucking
I'm happy to do your swearing for you.
I just smile when I'm happy.
