@DeterminationInspiration-pj2oi I have. And I hated it! I love spending time with friends and family. And i love laughing with them. But I've hated being tickled. Just because I'm laughing it doesn't mean I like it. I like laughing together, not for others. I've raised my younger brother, I've experienced love and heartbreak, I've been assaulted by older men and I've been loved too. And I am not a child I am a legal adult 😅 You are allowed to have power over your own emotions. I've lived my whole life living for other people, things I won't go into detail with but it sucks being told to smile when I don't want to. One incidence I can recall is being 11 or 12 years old, and losing my baby brother who wandered off in a public place. I was running around in tears looking for the boy, frantic. Mind you, I have very visible and obvious facial expressions. And a man stopped me and told me to "cover myself up" I am living for other people and forgetting who i am because i cannot relax. I can only survive. So please, let me be happy when i want to. Let me at least be allowed to feel what i feel. I am allowed to be sad, be mad, and be happy. You seem like a wonderful person who does genuinely care about children and the next generation, but sometimes things are not how they seem times have changed, but humans are still complicated. Please try to understand that just because someone doesn't smile because you tell them to does not mean they are tightened up. We have hobbies, I am an artist and a uni student and I write stories, and i have friends, and I love playing video games. You are right, our generation is a lot more uptight, and we need to learn to relax, but we need to relax for ourselves. I hope you and your family and filled with lots of love and blessings, thank you for your concern, darling
If she doesn't want to smile she doesn't have to smile. But if she feels weak when she smiles then there is an issue. Smiling is an act of joy, pleasure and it shouldn't make anyone feel weak
Brainwashing at it’s finest. This girl is tryna make her fans think that being happy is being weak. You may not think it now, but a handful of little kids are gonna believe her and follow what she says. You make a good point though.
🤭 with her Blonde hair and a smile on what looked like a music video? She made Ms America look bad don't worry this video about her says she has a boyfriend. No problem there.
The point is. It's pointless to fake smile just to please other people, if you don't feel like smiling. I say make me smile, don't force me. People don't like to see other people sad or just serious because it ruins their moment, so they are selfish enough to tell you to smile, but not loving enough to care what you are going through.
Yes!!! I smile only when I mean it, how hard is it to understand. And just because I don't smile doesn't mean I'm mad, I'm just haven't reached the happiness threshold for showing a smile 🤦🏻♀️
ever thought maybe YOU should thinknof what others are going through? That maybe sometimes its YOUR turn to add happiness and positive energy to the world and brighten someones day? Its not always just about you and if youre sad, brightening someone elses day can cheer you up
@@winniechan384the most basic universal language is a smile, all cultures even dogs understand it, newborn babies understand it, its the most fundamental element of friendliness amd human connection. Its not just a face its energy amd a sign of good will and human connection
She does smile a lot in fan’s pictures tho, just not those professional ones, and her brother finneas and her parents make her smile too snd her friends and fans not only jesse
You don't need to smile every time anyways. just be yourself and only smile when you feel like it, not because everyone expects you to do so. A serious expression is a great way to scare off useless people from wasting your time. Trust me, in life you're more likely to be taken for granted and stepped on when you smile a lot, unlike when you have a facial expression that shows that you don't put up with people's BS.
I can relate a lot.. I don't like it when I'm not enjoying something or just in a bad mood my mom would tell me to smile for the camera.. Then, when I "make a face" She gets irritated and tells me to smile- which of course makes me more annoyed but I try to hide it. Then, after I fake smiled I turn into my serious/resting face immediately.. I don't like it when my smiles aren't genuine.. Especially to my parents..
Smiling can be masking if you are angry or hurt inside. And it drains your energy. I smile when I feel like it and I also always hated hearing that. Usually by men who felt entitled without even being kind and respectful I have gotten this phrase alot. And like Billie it felt better to be a rebel and true to oneself. treat people with kindness and they will smile at you. Stop telling people what to do and how to feel. let everyone be themselves.
I hate being told to smile. I want to smile because it's genuine. I don't want to smile for you, I don't want a fake smile. I don't want to smile because a man tells me to, I don't want to smile because someone is uncomfortable with my true emotions and the way I physically express emotions. I have a resting you-know-what-face and that's okay. It's literally just my face. Telling someone to smile when they don't feel it is like saying "I know you're unhappy, but can you at least not be ugly?"
@@eshitasaini2656do you have cognitive issues? This video literally claimed she never smiled in any photos. This type of video is clickbait false trash, anyway.
@@user-ju2xj8re7i Photographer: "Smile for the camera!" Billie: "F*ck you!" Yeah, that's not a person with a mental problem. Not at all. That's a totally normal thing to do.
I respect that a lot, I hate being told “you’d look prettier if you smiled.” Like I’m so sorry my resting, normal face is not good enough to fit your standards.
i met billie at an Olivia Rodrigo concert actually and she hugged me and my friend and took a picture with us and she was smiling and i just wanted to share that bc i feel special now lol
Yep, she was a homeschooled kid who quickly skyrocketed to fame. She was immature back then and tried to sound grown up and mature like all teenagers who think they’re so smart and too cool 😂
Reminds me of Jesse Rutherford and Billie Eillish. GET IT? Because he’s ten whole years old than her and made a weird ass song about her and idek what it’s called I’ve listened to it tho and it’s absolute trash and I have a guess but I really don’t want to know what he means by “when she Gaga on my goo”. Wow. Way to bring shame to lady Gaga.
I can relate, I get livid when people tell me to smile, idc if their intentions are good. Do not tell me how to feel and express myself, I'll do that on my own time, MOM!!
I understand her very well. I hate people who dictate what emotions we should express. Smiling is a sign of a certain emotion, shouldn't be forced. It's very annoying to be forced to smile, doesn't mean she actually hates smiling.
For me when people say "you look pretty when you smile" just means that I feel happy when you're happy. Since smiling is a universal way of expressing that you're happy and have a positive mood today and I don't think they would find the feeling the same if they sense that you're smile is fake. People just like seeing people genuinely smile 😊 I also like that she smiles in fan pics. I just think she's not really into forcing a smile and maybe so that she's just following her brand
I get what you’re saying, but a neutral face or a frown doesn’t mean someone isn’t happy or in a generally good mood. It’s just frustrating to some people when they’re told they MUST be mad because their face says so, even if maybe they were just thinking hard and that’s why they had a furrowed brow. Faces mean a plethora of things, even smiles don’t necessarily mean you’re happy, it could be an uncomfortable smile or a spiteful smile. Lots of people either don’t care that a smile is fake or I have RBF, so I could be completely content and people often walk up to me and ask “What’s wrong?” I’ll tell them nothing and they’ll say “Oh, you look angry.” No ma’am/sir, just chilling, minding my own business, stuck in my thoughts. Thanks tho for letting me know that my face isn’t to your liking. It can get infuriating when it’s done enough by the same people over and over and then again by strangers too.
@@rebeckahhammond1383 When I say a genuine smile, I mean people who are actually happy without any ill intentions and just wholesomeness all around. Don't take anything personally when someone comments about you. It can be frustrating to know that maybe your normal facial expression can result in people seeing you as a grumpy person kind of making them avoid you. But don't assume that they're asking something from you, just think of it as them just stating their opinion. You don't need to please anybody.
billie is so nice, i met her at the hollywood bowl & she was with her mom who was recording our group interactions. Billie was the kindest person to talk to 😭❤️🔥
@@razorblade7486 you’re weird, i’ve met billie several times in LA & in each time she was so kind. with or with no cameras out billie has always been kind to fans. her mother (maggie) is known to record billie with fans because she is very supportive & proud of her daughter. hope you get out of your hateful state of mind & realize that not every celebrity fakes shit for the cameras 🫶🫶
Unfortunately paparazzi asking celebrities to smile is just for their own gain. Someone telling you to just act like you're having a good time is also selfish. People telling random people that they are prettier when they smile is usually creepy too.
@@jaysony8587 "telling someone to act like theyre happy" more concerned about their photos than her comfort? selfish. its also an annoying thing women hear often from men.
As an Italian this sounds a bit odd. 🇮🇹🤔 We do adore smiling, even just for a family selfie, on the street, even if we don't know eachother, to a kid at the park, to a handsome man, for a wedding photo shoot....A day without a smile, it's a wasted day. 😊❤. Famous or not, a smile it's like a crown 👑. And your mood will improve. It's scientifically proven.
Yeah, I bet you hang up with her everyday and every moment, to know she is such a great person. It's always amusing watching people idolize others, just because they like their music / movies / etc. Enjoy whatever media those people do, but stop idolizing some of the worst human beings out there.
Yeah, don't just randomly tell people to smile when it's not helping anyone, lol. That might just be their neutral expression, and it's so weird to want to dictate other people's facial expressions. They can be perfectly content and not smile, because they're thinking about something else. If they're having a bad day, you can give them space, or you can ask them, "how are you - and I mean it, how are you doing?" If they're feeling down, you could acknowledge their feelings, and know that it's okay to feel that, and then try to engage them in something fun or make them laugh if they want - but don't just tell them they have to smile, because then they're just masking, and they will feel like they can't be real around you. They'll feel like they can't confide in you, because rather than actually caring, you just want to force them to smile. People don't need that, lol it takes conscious thought to smile, and people can have a neutral expression if they want and think about something else they need to do. You can be in a good mood and not smile. It's so weird to constantly be like, "smile!" to everyone as if it's something they have to do, rather than something that should be genuine. When I'm alone and happy I'm not constantly smiling non-stop. That would just be strange. 😂
Lol men have told me I look mean, I look like I’m gonna bite, I look bored, I look tired, I look like I hate it here, I should smile more, etc. all while just simply waiting/resting. A few times I’ve been told by women to smile for them, I look mean, etc. always more weird coming from women cuz I’m one too so to tell another women something we can’t stand men telling us always rubbed me the wrong way. But ya, I agree. Stop telling kids and women to smile for ur no reason. It’s pretty psychotic if u think about it.
professional photos mostly don't need to smile because its giving fierce and elegant vibes kind of thing. but if she's smiling, that is true emotions of her and its genuine. come on media, its just smiling.
I always get told I look prettier when I smile or that I look super depressed when I’m trying to take a mysterious sort of photo 😂❤ it’s like wow thanks 💀 my mom is the most blunt about it haha I love Billie 🧚🏻♀️ her music is so therapeutic & healing 🕊️ on another level 🩵 she’s gorgeous & she has a lot of mental health struggles / Tourette’s + depression & she has to take xanex for her Tourette’s & tics & has a love hate for her need for medicine.. she has this one song called Xanny & when the parties over.. 🎶 maybe smiling induces her tics.. we don’t know.. we should just love her regardless 🤍🤍 btw i just googled her & saw like 30 pics of her smiling… 😜
I would agree, if the smile is genuine, but there's so much emphasis on superficiality these days, that it can be hard to smile honestly, or recognize one, so I think she's really grounded actually.
Respect 4 Billie, she wants to live her fame her own way, and not let hollywood suck the soul out of her, I never unwerstood the appeal for smiling for photos. True beauty is the beauty within themselves. Thanks 4 not smiling Billie and just keep being yourself.
I relate to her on this. It’s good to smile but it’s annoying when people are pushy about it. It’s like I’ll smile when I want to leave me be. You can’t just make me do that on demand.
I was of the exact same opinion as Billie. Never let anyone tell you how to feel or think. Be exactly who you are and as long as you do right then you should be just fine. You can laugh into old age this way. ☮️☯️
@@melianoonan9885 Nnnooooo that’s not it. If you think that because of her style, I know plenty of dark people who have very bright interests and get disgusted when anything like that is brought up. Dark clothing and makeup and generally not abiding to the “rules of society” don’t mean everything about the person is dark.
I mean, smiling is a blessing. Being annoyed when you smile is so weird to me, normally smiling would fill your energy and have good affirmations on you. Surely don't do it for anyone, when you realize you do things for yourself, it will be worth much more than it is. Smile guys, and have positivity in your life 😊
She does genuinely smile though, just not in professional photos. She has a completely different lifestyle than most people so you can't compare her to a typical person.
She can't be happy . She don't know how to smile . And those who don't know how to smile spent a hard time finding hapiness . Remembered what laughing buddha said ? "If you want hapiness in life , just try laughing out loud ... that is the only way to hapiness"
She doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to do. Who goes around smiling over nothing every day? I literally cringe when men say this to me, like "why aren't you smiling?" I'm like because no one told a joke tf?
@@TiaEphesians429there’s many photos of her smiling and you don’t need to smile at everyone or everything the main comment was just saying people are prettier when they smile and that’s true it’s even scientifically proven stop trying to do everything your idols do they don’t show you what they really like in real life follow their arts not their whole personality that’s what really cringe is
@@TaxEvasionIsFunny well I think you got some serious problems that your brain can’t even process such a simple comment on the internet must be tough imma pray for you 😞🙏
