Anonymous Smile and Kindness A simple smile or words of understanding can be uplifting to any person. Someone could be struggling with anything, maybe feeling unhappy or overwhelmed with their studies or life events. A smile or the simple act of listening can go a long way to changing a person’s day. While you continue through your day, look up instead of down at your phone, make eye contact, smile, and ask, “How are you?” Try to have a conversation, even a small one, with a classmate or colleague that might be struggling to connect with people too. Social anxiety affects a lot of people. Practice some patience with the parent trying to wrangle their kids, or individuals with developmental disabilities. Instead of laughing or taking videos of the misfortune of others, pick your head up, smile, and show the world some kindness. In the current state of the world, a little kindness and under- standing is needed more than ever.
