How do waitresses pull off that bright, bubbly demeanor so well?

Are you guys genuinely happy or just a world class actor?

When you’re in your 20s, people treat you like you’re committing a crime if you aren’t happy go lucky.

I feel fundamentally defunct as a woman because I’m not like that. And if I do try to force a smile, I look like I’m being held hostage

I can receive a compliment and yet still sometimes struggle to smile. I’m tired of causing people to feel awkward/unliked when they’re talking to me. So what’s the secret? Coke? Caffeine shot straight through the veins?

Its a face you put on like your uniform.

Many people who work have to do it - its ones "professional persona". Whether you're in an office, retail, hospitality, medical etc...you gotta do it or it just makes work harder.

And you take it off when you get home.
@OogieBoogie I took it off when they left my office. Lol
