How to use "Unsmiling" in context?
If you don't smile, chances are people won't either. And, why should they? Smiling is by far the most universally liked facial expression. It produces a feeling of happiness and well-being, and helps people connect with others. While it might be easy to smile when things are going your way, it's more difficult to be happy and maintain a smile when things are tough. For some, the unhappiness and sadness that can come with struggles can override the good effects of a smile. But, there are ways to combat that. One way is to practice smiling constantly.
