im the opposite jinn.

when i was younger i used to smile all the time. as i got older i learnt a lot from life. work and other stresses make you not want to smile. im pretty serious most of the time at work, and i dont ive much away. i also dont particularly like my big gaping smile, so i wont give huge smiles in pics..if at all.

as for crowds LT - maybe try and encourage them by acknowledging their presense. sometimes they are as shy as you are. once you get them in, they will feel more comfortable, and in turn so will you.

and for the record LT- you have a great smile!
