Are smiles from strangers really that important to your well being?

It's an example of positive daily human interaction. Keeping minimum distance and hiding the most expressive part of the body removes a lot of that from daily life, and people do suffer from it.

The world is significantly colder this year. I can't be the only one that feels it.

I find adults smiling to be gaudy and disconcerting, ever since I was a child. My wife included, although I like most of her so it's ok. Children don't bother me though, as it seems sincere.

Why can't "oh, you're wearing a mask, to protect me!" be a "positive daily human interaction"? Perhaps we're just mis-framing things?

Would you feel good about someone smiling at you they were forced by law to smile?

Sure, if their refusal to smile might kill me, and smiling cost them little/nothing to do.
