Im really insecure about my smile so I dont do it a lot. I try to look like Im busy with something all the time, or in a rush, so people dont approach me. the other day I went into a shop to get breakfast and the guy behind the counter said "you have a beautiful smile, you should show it more" as he handed me my order.

I was taken aback. Im never complimented by guys and especially not on my smile, my teeth arent the best looking and it makes me face look fat. I wasnt sure if he took my rushed attitude as upset/stressed and was trying to cheer me up or if he really thought I was pretty.

I can never tell with these types of things!
