Hi Person.
The initial intro to this blog was put into a Spoiler as it can be seen as whining and it shows a weak part of me that I don't want to start the blog with.
How to smile:
This is how to smile, or at least how to make yourself smile. I have pulled past experiences, some research and noteable memories into this part so please do enjoy, and hopefully smile.

Firstly, a good way to start smiling is to simply look at a person smile. As a basic human instinct, we are able to mimic the actions of others in sound and movement etc. To show this, when experiencing someone "Yawning" or even thinking of it, some will yawn themselves. This has been linked to survival techniques among our species as to alert others of danger, but the reason for this is not fully known. Another example is the "Monkey see, monkey do" saying, no I am not calling anyone here a monkey, although depending on your beliefs, I guess we're all primates. The saying implies how a baby will copy what someone does, this can be described as them doing it because they know it should be safe, as in watching a car go over a very sturdy bridge, will give comfort that you can safely walk across, I hope that point gets across. Also little kids can be seen trying to re-enact things they've seen on TV like stunt actors jumping from things etc. That's why I guess they say "Don't try this at home.
Furthermore, watching others laugh and smile is a very effective way of making yourself smile and laugh, especially when someone's laugh is funnier than the joke. Here is a link to a person laughing to ease you:(Jim Carey because he's amazing)
http://youtu.be/EffPnse4WQs?t=36s (36 seconds in because that's when he starts laughing)
Another way to smile? Look at funny things of course! When I write 'funny things' I mean the classics, because nothing beats the classics. If you haven't seen "Charlie bit my finger" or "David after the dentist" just click those and you should be able to experience some of YouTube awesomeness. Listen to your favorite songs, and just feel happy, try and avoid sad music with slow beats, try an upbeat track like "I feel good" or "Don't worry be happy" or even do the now very much cliché version of my name "Happy".
If you have trouble with video, usually from a slow connection, internet memes are a beautiful thing. Sites such as Memecenter and 9Gag are just amazing. You may even be interested in "Lol cats", the true marvel of happiness on the interwebs!
Multiple people on the internet have dedicated some time and effort into the smiling and happiness of others, or simple entertainment. If you really want to find funny content searching things such as 'Watch this without laughing' or 'Watch this 100 times and still laugh' are great. Maybe even find a Vlogger on YouTube, so you can relate to others, examples such as 'danisnotonfire' and 'AmazingPhil'(Because they're both awesomely british like myself #HumbleBrag)
Still not smiling? Hmm. Get a hobby! Yes a hobby, it'll occupy you, yes that is a very good boredom buster too but it should also make you smile and after a while of doing the hobby you can feel a sense of achievement. Hobby ideas consist of:
Gaming
Singing
Dancing
Blogging
Skinning
Stamp collecting(If you're into that sort of thing)
Vlogging
Playing with cards, aka Cardistry(My hobby!)
A sport like basketball or football or even tennis etc.
Who knows, there are so many hobbies that listing them all would take FOREVER, for example, you could even join the matheletes if you have access to a math group, take up online chess, the possibilities are literally endless.
A small thing for anxiety is to drink some water and/or blow on your thumb, the blowing on the thumb works for helping with anxiety because there are nerves located in the thumb that should calm you down and the water thing is just to keep hydrated, you could drink a soda(or pop if you wish to call it that) but I find that drinks such as Coca Cola are more or less tasteless, Coca Cola's taste is mostly from advertising and Coca cola itself has a pH(per Hydrogen) level of 3, which is quite dangerous. Also, water is healthy, but don't drink too much, all good things in moderation after all.
If you're STILL not smiling here's a little activity you can do:
Grab a pen(cil) and paper, or anything you can use to write notes
Write down why you think you're sad or not smiling
Write down 3 things you have that money can't buy (a life, a sibling, a cool handmade thingy maybe)
Write down 3 hardships you have overcome (that hard test, the loss of a loved one)
Write down 1 thing you are just great at (even if it's just breathing)
This little activity will just get you to think about how much you've accomplished, what makes you special and how rich you are at heart. It'll help you see what the problem is and naturally give you ideas on a solution. Remember this quote: "We are never guaranteed tomorrow, only today".
STILL GLUM CHUM? Here is a random picture that changes everytime you refresh the page, it should always be a sweet hug and if watching people hug doesn't work, hug someone and if there's no one to hug here is the nicest place on the internet for you: http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/ (Where you get hugged online!)
Finally, if I haven't been able to make you smile, I sincerly apologize for wasting your time and having you read all of this, whether you are physically unable to smile or mentally distressed, I hope you are able to feel happy, as everyone has that right.
Thank you for reading this Blog. You're awesome.
Also thanks XDInsanity for finding me this other gif that changes everytime you refresh!

Click at own risk
As... many know I'm not a great Blogger, I'm just one of those people who Blog from time to time and get enough revenue from friends in chat and just enough photo editting skills to get to the Pop-Reel consistently. This is my attempt at a good Blog. My last blog was in the words of someone who I do not want to name, was:
Those words, along with a couple more, stuck with me and are sticking with me. I will admit, I did shed a tear, I don't know why I give others such power over my opinions and my emotions but I do, I guess that's how I was raised throughout primary and secondary and even as an infant, to think my life is what others think of it. I know it's not true, but then again, I don't.
After that comment on the blog, I stopped advertising it in chat because, I felt embarrassed, I felt lonely and ganged up on. I know for a fact the person said it out of honesty and didn't mean to offend or hurt anyone, but they did and, they might never read this and know the degree of pain. But, I am writing this as an outlet, a statement saying, "I am hurt, and I'm okay with that".
Now on a happier note, I shall attempt to make a good Blog, I suck at writing and I can't read too well, so if this Blog isn't good, I hope it's at least decent enough to be read all the way through. So yay...
