Can you describe a situation where you might smile when you don't mean it? Possible answer: Sometimes I smile when I am impatient, but I know I shouldn't be. For example, if I am riding a train and a baby starts crying, I may try to smile, because even though the baby's crying is annoying, I know that it is not the baby's fault and there is probably nothing that can be done.
