Want to Make New Friends? Just Smile.

Apparently there’s a lot of power in a simple smile.

A new study finds that the facial expressions we make are really the key to making new friends. The University of California finds that’s ‘people are highly attuned to the positive emotions of others and can be more attuned to others’ positive emotions”, more than the negative emotions.

One experiment showed that people watching  a movie with a stranger were more likely to feel friendship toward them if the stranger expressed positive emotions.

There’s another interesting finding from the study – humans are very good at  judging whether a smile is genuine or fake.
