But they are in reality not smiling inside. what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Social smile: People smile to ease tension in social situations, sometimes when they are nervous or embarrassed, sometimes to defer to others. These are situations when the feeling inside is not happiness, joy or delight, but something else.
