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?

Well most of the people my age were happy because when we were in our twenties we were working one or two part-time jobs maybe a full-time job if you're lucky trying to put yourself through college but we didn't have the rules of living under our parents house anymore we could stay up late we could do what we wanted in that aspect we look forward to the little things in life. And we knew that no matter what we could fail we didn't rely on cards credit cards so we didn't have to worry about long-term debt unless we took out college loans a lot of my generation didn't borrow any more than you absolutely had to have because we read the fine print on that college loan and knew that it would skyrocket if we didn't pay it back pretty quick after we graduated.
