Fake shame to act cute.

Eh ? I did that if i laugh at something awkward or at something/someone/times I'm not supposed to.
Like "pfft" stifled laugh. It

 

I like my personal space and I am a little bit of an introvert so I always try to evade these two and here you are spreading the knowledge:

• Kissing people to greet them
• Intimate contact between friends of opposite genders or even same gender

Why can't people keep a little bit of social distancing even in normal time

 

There are exceptions to everything but we normally don't do that here in Spain at least.

I hated being touched by every-f*cking-one as a kid but something akin to Stockholm syndrome kicked in and I kinda got used to it lol

 

You never try to stifle laugh in funeral or during public mass ?

 

You don't laugh in a funeral in the first place...

@reagents 11
As for public masses, I dunno. I am not religious but the few catholic events I went to were quite relaxed. People could laugh as much as they wanted (in moderation).

 

To keep flies from going in.

 

But sometimes you just can't help it. Hence the hands trying to help stifle them.

 

It's interesting to see in micro expressions when it's not fake though. We instinctively cover our mouths when we don't want something to 'come out'. Like when a kid lies they'd hide their mouth. Later on we graduate to only hovering our hand in the area and like scratch your nose or something, suppressing the signs more easily.

 

Is it like just a cheek to cheek thing, or.... Nah it can't be an be an actual kiss, right? Here in my country, some of my older dear teachers do the cheek to cheek thing whenever I see them, I think we got it from Spanish influence.

 

Yeah, it is the cheek to cheek thing. Some of us greet with an actual kiss to family members tho.

Are you perhaps Filipino?

 

Some people do it because their smile/face doesn't look good (to them) when they laugh. (Some people is me)

 

Yep. I know. I mentioned Japan cuz they do it on a more general level. About 95% of the women I saw in blogs or interviews did it out of reflex. Most don't even do it with the intention of really covering their mouths, to me at least it feels like a reflex more than anything.

 

As I mentioned above, I singled out Asians cuz I saw that it was more pronounced in their countries at least.

 

Obviously it is so no one tries to stick a penis in when they are laughing!

 

I do it when I have food or gum in my mouth. Nobody wants to see that...
