I have this thing where I seem to always be smiling when I'm giving someone bad news. Today I was telling a woman I work with about a group of Amish girls that was shot execution style. And I was smiling the whole time I was telling her this. I hate it. I can't tell someone about a loved one dying or even have a conversation with them about it because I feel like I'm making them feel uncomfortable. The woman told me not to feel about it because it's some kind of mental disorder but she didn't know the name of it. I've checked on the internet and I can't find anything. Does anyone have any idea if this really is a mental disorder and is there any way of taking care of it? I want to be able to have a normal conversation with someone. Sometimes it happens just from someone saying, "Hello" to me. I feel like an idiot when that happens. It's like I'm surprised that someone wants to talk to me or something.

Oh come on! I hope you are not serious. A smile lightens the mood. Yet in certain situations there is not a good place for it. If your heart was not mean about it, don't worry. You should try to carefully choose a place to smile at if you can. You can smile if you are thinking about a positive thing about one of the victims. Since they want us as a public to bond in this way. You can smile at the fact the turkey is no longer around. You can smile about the fact in relief that it was no one you knew personally (if it wasn't)...You just have to think...Do not let anyone take away your smile. Believe me it can happen....

smiling isn't a mental disorder, it's called being happy. Just choose the times right when to smile and when to not.

I have heard about people having the same problem with you. It could be you can't control your facial expression. Don't take too hard. I think people who knows you understand that you didn't mean it. It could be you are too protective to yourself and afraid of talking to people. There is many way to talk to people still.

Check out the symptoms for Asperger's and see if you have any of the other symptoms.
