2:14 Many people can smile in fear, anger, or even sadness. I’ve seen it happen before and it’s kind of a very versatile response. When a person doesn’t know how to feel or the emotions are just starting to hit them, they might smile. Same thing with laughing.
when my cat passed away i was sobbing real loudly and hugging my mom and I looked over and my autistic brother was grinning (I do that too when I get sad news. its just how we are) and I started laughing so hard while crying
when I found out my grandad passed I started smiling and trying to hold back laughter. it made me feel so guilty because I was really sad about it, yet that was my reaction. nice to know that’s not just a me problem! not sure if it’s more common in us but I am also autistic
I have given up my job and my personal life for my care bear school. I am extremely proud of my students. Tender heart bear is now a neurosurgeon and I just--it's so emotional seeing them grow into successful people.
I like watching Danny Gonzales but to be fair you can often see that he is not very knowledgable about anything outside of his small bubble ^^; it's almost cute how little he seems to know sometimes....
i love that he’s like “yeah…you’re not obligated to continue a hobby if it doesn’t bring you joy anymore.” you don’t understand, Danny. it’s not a hobby. it’s a commitment. my bears need me. how else are they going to learn calculus
I doubt he felt forced. He probably felt a little embarrassed and/or guilty that he was belittling something he didn't understand, and didn't want to hurt any feelings. He probably didn't feel it was his best work and he has higher standards for his videos now. When people have tried to force him to take down videos an he didnt want to, he just didn't, he even fought them. So I think it was his choice.
I get why he took this down, but I don't think anyone should hold any of the comments he made against him, cause it was something he clearly learned from. The bit about the bear school was hilarious though lol.
Yeah absolutely not. It made me upset by what he said but I know that he is a genuine person and had no ill intent over any of what he said. He genuinely didn't understand why it was needed
@@random_dragon took it down because of the start, im pretty sure. im assuming he just didnt understand some people struggle with social etiquette, comments explained it to him, so he felt bad and took down the video.
I'm autistic and the smiling one was kinda helpful but I also already knew most of it Danny wasn't too offensive though, his response was general confusion. And he was funny too.
@@BoogedyBobbyis this you saying “i didnt know that i needed to learn to smile” or “i didnt know that you all needed to learn to smile, im autistic and i dont so youre all silly”
WikiHow has helped me once. I was about to go on stage before a performance when I realized that I didn’t know how to use suspenders. I was in the dressing room and I was running out of time when I remembered that WikiHow teaches you everything. That is the day I learned that if you get a costume change last minute before a performance, still try it on. TLDR: WikiHow saved me from dropping my pants in front of an audience.
I’m autistic and never even knew he deleted it. I never found it offensive as I don’t expect him to know that some people actually have trouble smiling properly on command, including myselfz respect him for forfeiting his money to avoid even offending one person. Danny is a TH-camr I hope will never get cancelled.
@@jenm1 but still I don’t believe Danni is autistic or really knows the struggles that autistic people go through so if he makes a mistake, I think we should excuse him for it because we all know that there are a lot worse creators out here who would try to defend themselves and not take responsibility for their actions however, when who is partially Mexican quoted a slur he immediately made an apology video, blaming himself, and started genuinely crying even though it wasn’t really a big deal. Just because someone has a large platform doesn’t mean that they’re instantly capable of making no mistakes. You gotta remember that people like Danni are also human and that you’re going to make mistakes and slip up because you’re human so I don’t think we should be really harsh on him for a simple misunderstanding
@@jenm1 OP is autistic and has no problem with it. I am also on the spectrum and don't have a problem with it. Go into any of the other comments and you'll find plenty of on the spectrum people being fine with it. It's not ignorant to be neurotypical and not know every single masking technique we go through. It's a part of learning and being human, just like I don't understand why neurotypical people feel the need to speak on our behalf. also you referring to us as just "you guys" feels off to me. frankly I find your comment more offensive than anything Danny said in this video.
@@jenm1 Your unreasonably high standards is why the American Far Right is so good at pushing lazy Americans towards their doom. It's a smile. Get over it.
@@jenm1 why do you feel the need to defend neurodivergent people when they dont need to be defended?? it's ironic how in your white-knight saving shit to feel superior to the "ableists" you imply neurodivergent people are weak and useless
As an autistic person, it never occurred to me when watching this that it was offensive lol. I had no idea until now it was removed. I had issues with smiling as a kid until I learnt, I know it's absurd and can laugh at myself. Life's better when you don't take yourself seriously and get offended by an innocent youtube video.
I feel like the “how to smile” article was made by and for people with ASPD or autism or something that causes them to struggle with social cues/norms and interaction.
I searched that! It's hard for me to smile in social situations when I don't feel happy. So I when I try to smile I smile pretty weird and fake smile. And I wanted to learn how to smile in a genuine way. I am not autistic.
@@leebarbs7176 that falls under the umbrella of what I was talking about. Many people struggle with different mental conditions that make it difficult to emote or express yourself. Idk what’s so funny. I think you’ve seen too many movies that portray these people as all heartless mindless serial killers when in reality most of them are just trying to fit in and function.
I was wondering why he took this down. When he read the smile thing I remember thinking it’s deff an article I bet a lot of autistic people/people who struggle with social cues have accessed articles like this. Idk if he got backlash from it, but my bet is knowing how sweet and empathetic Danny is, he watched his commentary back after being made aware of that n felt that it could really hurt people’s feelings being referred to as like aliens n stuff
I can't deal with the comments that say that Danny took this video down because people with autism were offended. No guys, he probably thought he was being offensive, but every single comment from autistic people under the original video was extremely chill. People were just like "oh, this actually would've helped me when I was younger, so maybe that's who actually reads these articles".
Yeah I actually appreciate he took it down. I don’t remember finding it offensive, though I might just not remember. But then *I* already know better, other viewers may also not know not everyone smiles for the same reasons or is able to smile the same way. It genuinely helps to remove videos like this rather than leave them up for people to watch uncritically and be misinformed.
not a huge crowd found it "offensive", or at least didnt call danny ableist for it/go after him hardcore but when the og video was posted people informed him it was generally for people with aspd or asd, and he didnt want to keep it up because of the possibility of hurting anyone so decided to take it down himself to avoid that/gen
This has always been one of my favorite Danny videos. Despite the fact that I actually did use the "how to smile" article as a preteen. I also had to look up how to talk to someone sitting next to you, and how to start a conversation. I find it funny how confused Danny is that some people don't naturally pick up on social cues.
as someone with..adhd and social anxiety disorder, I should rlly read the smiling article bc I practice my smiles in the mirror to see if it'll look good for once cuz my smile sucks and I hate it. its too wide and it looks weird in my opinion
@@jametron6135 Oh man if you don't think so you probably don't know anyone with strong ADHD. They can be very obsessive and overanalyze things in any category, especially their own appearance and behavior. My friend has it and one day she described to me how much she thinks about her smile and how she had to strategize different ways of smiling for different situations to make sure she looked 'as normal as possible', and I was blown away hearing that anyone could be that worried about their smile. A streamer I watch who has it also shared his struggles with things like that, mentioning how he was even afraid to wear a hat or a pair of sunglasses because he thought people would think he was crazy and would question why he needed to wear them, when obviously most people wouldn't even notice. Of course this is anecdotal on my part but from what I've seen, people being this concerned with "smiling right" when they're not even like a model or actor or anything where there's stakes in them getting it right is definitely right in line with having ADHD.
@@jametron6135 Well it's well documented that people can experience ADHD to varying degrees, and medicine is a factor too. Obviously if you're on medication you might not feel it as much as someone who isn't, or is taking a different medication from you. So don't assume your experience with ADHD is the only way it can be felt, especially when others with ADHD, like OP, share their experiences and they differ from yours. They're not any less real or valid than your experiences are.
CZsWorld, wow! Cool seeing you here. I have made it a fun yearly tradition to rewatch your Coraline videos around Halloween. It even intrigued me enough to get the audiobook. I also enjoyed your SAW videos, even though I only ever saw a few of the movies. And yes, your mask reminds me of Bleach, but that is fine because I love Bleach. ***Dramatic Skeletor voice*** Until we meet again!
going through your channel like it’s a danny gonzalez controversy archive i didnt even know about this but dayum he’s gotten funnier and wiser in recent years
I find the smiling article humorous in its premise since even though not everyone likes their smile, or don't look natural smiling, virtually every person on earth knows how to smile, and like Danny said, smiling is a basic human function. I think it would be more accurate to be titled "how to change your smile" or "how to look natural smiling". Definitely not offensive.
1:28 fun fact: my teeth were bad, depression hit and I grew up resulting into me not smiling. After things started to get better and I got my teeth fixed, my dentist asked me to smile, to show my fixed teeth to my dad, and I kid you not I genuinely forgot how to smile properly, resulting in me doing this creepy ass expression, scaring both the my dad and the dentist who had to teach me how the heck does a human being smile!
I know there are a lot of autistic people here putting their opinions out there, but I’m gonna be no different lol, I personally thought it funny and wasn’t offended, and as a kid I used to just NEVER smile. I remember one time going to a friends birthday party just not smiling and she asked my parents why I was “sad”, I also remember my kindergarten teacher had to beg me to smile for a yearbook pic, so I personally don’t think this was something he needed to take the vid down for, but I can’t speak for everyone… also most of this was an excuse to rant lol
i would say that the smiling bit was probably the reason the video was removed. he definitely wasn’t thinking of making fun of neurodivergent people when writing/doing the bit. i appreciate that he deleted it just in case
yeah i dont think i was ever offended when i watched this video. i had no idea it was taken down! danny has such integrity and i admire that sincerely about him
Fr they’re acting like there was a mob with pitchforks that forced Danny to take this video down. He did it of his own accord it really isn’t that deep
some people are really sensitive to this type of stuff due to cancel culture; and though i understand why you don’t know how to smile or when to smile, it’s still kind of crazy that people would be hurt abt this even though he didn’t know it was offensive 😭
I’m autistic and that smiling article is stupid 😂 It wouldn’t help any autistic person I’ve ever met because it’s so badly written and, no, I don’t think it was written FOR autistic people as many people say.
I am neurotypical and I had a lot of trouble smiling until about 6 years old. I would show both rows of teeth in a menacing manner, instead of actually smiling. Now I look expressionless and confused in all of my childhood photos. XD
2:06 this right here tells me that he has never worked retail ,or customer service, or food service, or any job that required you to work with the public. Have no disillusions, miserable people smile at you all the time.
As someone who’s worked customer service for years, yes you can smile while in a bad mood but it certainly isn’t genuine. Most people can pick up on a fake smile compared to a real one. I’ve smiled through some really bad days and I can promise you most people aren’t fooled. You can tell in someone’s body language when they aren’t feeling it. So would you crack a genuine smile while in a bad mood? Probably not. You’d put in your best fake smile and sweetest customer service voice, while internally wanting to scream.
coming from an autistic person, i personally believe he should’ve just edited the smile part out if he truly felt that guilty about it, it’s such a shame a good video like this got deleted ❤
3:48 yes but then again I have met several teachers who probably need to listen to this advice and not constantly smile while talking. I once had this teacher that had the most blatantly obvious fake smile on her face because she wore it ALL THE TIME!
It was really sweet and mature of Danny to take this down. As I watched it I realized why he would. He didn’t have to certainly but he did because HE grew and matured and HE feels like the comments he made were ableist in nature. And they are. It’s subtle ableism that comes of ignorance. Everyone’s done it and he’s very mature for doing this to show that he doesn’t co-sign that kind of stigma
@@hawassed how were his comments NOT ableist? The way he ridiculed and mocked the idea of someone not understanding emotions the way autistic people do as inhuman and worthy of mockery is pushing a stigma that contributes to ableist stereotypes.
Yeah, I didn't see it was a reupload on a different channel Being told as an AuDHD fan that "everyone should be able to" sit and watch a video for its entire duration made me feel sad and judged I have never and will never be able to do that without pausing, reading comments, doodling at the same time, etc. It's not to reinforce judgment against disabled and neurodivergent people Even if it wasn't intentional, it can still be harmful
@hawassed do autistic people not smile when they’re happy? That’s essentially what the article boils down to: smile when you’re happy, and don’t smile when you’re not. I’ve never met an autistic person that doesn’t know that/do it naturally
a small reminder: not everyone has the same experience as you, autism is a spectrum, you might not struggle with things that others struggle with even if you’re autistic too.
As an autistic person, I’ve never personally struggled with the smiling thing, but I would def read an article about making eye contact. Like, I physically know how to make eye contact, obviously, but it makes me uncomfortable (especially when it’s with someone I’m not very close to), so I would definitely read an article about strategies for making eye contact when it doesn’t come naturally to you. Like, what’s the eye contact to looking away ratio? What’s the best way to make it seem like you’re making eye contact when you’re really not? (I usually look at the bridge of a person’s nose)
Heck I'm not autistic (as far as I know) and I've always found "correct" eye contact difficult. It feels like this awkward dance of looking and looking away that just seems so dumb. Vastly prefer to talk to people while we're playing a game together or doing some other activity and it's not socially mandated I look at their eyeballs 50% of the time.
I learned so much from this video 😭😭 I am autistic and have no idea when to smile, or look a certain way. I don’t think Danny understood that those articles might have been for neurodivergent people 😭
Here I am thinking he took it down because he figured he was wrong about people not smiling if they're in a bad mood because depressed people fake smiles or genuinely have moments of joy even when their general mental state has hit rock bottom, I wasn't even thinking about what everyone else is talking about
Guy's, have we forgotten that he's said he doesn't like when people say he doesn't need to apologize or react however he chooses to react to controversy? Sure, many autistic people, such as myself, weren't offended by the first section. But, that doesn't change the fact that many people were. They deserve to be taken seriously, too. I'm tired of this, "I'm not offended, so it doesn't matter." Mentality.
I agree. As someone in the group of those who could have been offended, I wasn't, but I respect him for seeing a group of people who were, and deciding he didn't want to make anyone else feel bad.
I hate to break it to you but none of your fucking opinions have ever mattered lmao you self diagnosed yourself with something youre not a spokesperson all the sudden
Is it bad that I would be the one writing the 'How to pretend to be asleep' article just to get all of my helpful pretending to sleep tips and tricks out of my head? Also I need to read the first, second and third ones can someone please send me a link
im autistic and i dont really feel like the vid is "offensive", moreso inadvertently uncomfortable to people who struggle with conveying emotion at worst , and mildly awkward to us at best. but regardless i think its cool to know danny was so sensitive about a topic that could have potentially been ableist, i like when content creators i watch are aware of stuff like that. i would rather him have taken it off his own channel because he felt uncomfortable rather than him ignoring any person who told him it could come across as offensive since the latter type of behavior usually harbors a lot of arrogance with it.
im autistic (and also a robot) and i have to say the smiling thing wasnt offensive in the slightest. danny is a neurotypical human being so it makes a lot of sense that he would be confused
Not every autistic person is socially inept. I don't think i know a single autistic person who would need help to smile, stop acting like everything is offensive
@@issy3295 oh sorry didn’t know you knew every autistic person in the world. it’s a spectrum, idiot, and struggling with facial expressions is one of the most well known symptoms of autism. you’re definitely one of those people who claims to support autistic people, but makes fun of SPED kids and any autistic that isn’t “high functioning” enough for you. of course danny wasn’t trying to be offensive but you clearly are trying to be, just say you hate autistic people who actually struggle and aren’t just uwu cutesy and quirky and be quiet already
@@issy3295 8 months late but whatever not every autistic person is the same ?? (especially unless you’re autistic yourself) you don’t have the right to speak for every autistic person. there are people who might be severely autistic that make behaviors like smiling difficult.
@@issy3295 1) nowhere did op call this video offensive 2) nowhere did op say that all autistic people are "socially inept. do you not understand what "on the spectrum" means?
As an autistic person who struggles with smiling normaly, I didn't realise there was anything offensive in the video until I looked in the comments. Honestly it's a bit sad he felt forced to take it down
Okay hold up I have the tism and I at first thought I smiled fine but then with some of the extra questions I was like "wait I've asked that before" or at least felt self conscious about doing it incorrectly. Like I sit and I look at people and I'm like "am I looking too long" "should I look calmer" "do I look upset" because I just kinda don't know how. And since I'm pretty damn high functioning so it's weird to realize these little things.
I’m autistic and I can’t smile right. My whole life I’ve been practicing in mirrors but they don’t look right. I edit smiles into my pictures. I wish it didn’t get taken down
I’m not autistic but I have bad social anxiety and I would have found that smiling article helpful 😅 but I actually like Danny’s reaction to it. It’s a reminder that what I go through every day isn’t normal and I actually do need help and can’t trust my bad perception of myself telling myself I don’t “do things right”
I never knew that some people actually don't know how to smile. It's crazy how things you don't even think about can be a struggle for others, and vice versa.
@@astronomical926he’s trippin ppl didn’t have the right to be mad in the first place to be honest it’s only the most sensitive of people that get offended by this
Congratulations, you're a mature human being who doesn't assume the world revolves around you, unlike people who get mad over freaking Danny Gonzalez videos about goofy wikihow articles
4:36 is when he stops talking about the smile article if you wanna skip it so that it doesn’t ruin the video for you or make you feel shitty. safe viewing, everyone :)
If you feel "unsafe" because of a guy saying "haha that's kinda weird" about a wikihow article on how to make a basic human facial expression, you maybe don't need to be on the internet. Maybe get therapy. That's not sarcasm that's a genuine suggestion, I don't think thats stable behavior
@@drawingdragon gonna regret responding to this because the internet is just people looking to start shit that goes nowhere and leaves everyone exhausted and feeling like they’ve wasted time (because they have), but clearly danny took this down because he realised this could be harmful to some people. if he can recognise that, then you can too. just because you don’t get why something could be harmful doesn’t mean you get to dictate what someone else might find harmful. that’s something you can talk about in therapy, as i’m assuming that since you’re speaking as someone who is self aware enough to be in therapy themself and isn’t just using “get therapy lol” as a way to diss strangers online. you seem to be a big proponent of therapy, so since you’re in therapy, i’m sure you know that a therapist would never respond to “this made me feel unsafe” with “that doesn’t make ME feel unsafe so you’re wrong actually god people are so sensitive these days”. i look forward to your response that will further this conversation on its path to us arriving at no mutual understanding because no one has ever come to an agreement in a youtube comments section and it’s not gonna start with us 🤗
I'm not an autistic person in a sense that I do not know how to smile "properly", but even tho I think that Danny wasn't making fun of people who don't know how to smile, he was making fun of the whole website. I'm sure there are way better sources than wikihow on these issues, as I really don't trust it myself, even if I'm looking up how to literally do the most "easy" task ever because sometimes it's just difficult for me myself, I will not use that website, it's just meh for me. I'm glad to see so many people thinking it wasn't necessary to take it down because it wasn't really that offensive in their eyes.
I'm gonna be honest if I saw "how do I smile?" in someone's search history, I'm thinking they're either a sociopath or a very very sad person who needs a hug. I wouldn't say this was offensive (granted, I don't have autism, I'm not on the spectrum as far as I know) but I'd rather Danny be more considerate than not. Besides it's his channel if he wants to delete any videos, he's entitled to that.
But I feel that if you get offended by a youtube video from a channel that’s sole purpose is to make jokes then you should maybe not choose to get offended and think about the fact that it isnt aimed toward you. Absolutely no one should be getting offended by this and if you do, simply stop watching Danny’s videos. Or accept that you are sensitive to things.
@@monkeyojacko i mean ultimately it was danny’s decision, there was probably very few people that were actually offended by this but danny just wanted to be considerate
I wasn’t offended by the smiling thing, though I never got fully diagnosed with autism (it’s likely with my family history and stuffs but never got tested), as a kid I wasn’t able to smile and couldn’t learn how for years until it finally clicked. I still remember the feeling of trying to smile and how difficult it was. Maybe it’s just a little kid thing since you always see little children smiling rlly aggressively in photos idk
@@mackback319 yeah I mean he probably just doesn’t know much about autism or doesn’t know people didn’t know how to smile cause shoot i didn’t until I looked at comments explaining why it was deleted lol
oh yeah I do remember reading that how to smile article! no one really ever explained so in my elementary school yearbook photos a lot of it had my teeth like gritted which is apparently not ideal lmao one of many signs that I may have autism I should probably get that actually looked into lol
I'd call this an honest mistake. A lot of things autistic people go through seem alien/robotic to neurotypicals and I can understand joking about it when you don't necessarily know it's autistic people you're inadvertently joking about. As long as you choose to correct it when you do learn.
While I wasn’t offended by the smiling part, and I am on the autism spectrum myself, but I really respect the fact that he preferred to make sure others didn’t feel bad. He very obviously doesn't like when his videos make people feel bad, and the effort to stop even one more person seeing the video and feeling alienated or feel bad is very sweet. Sure, I didn’t care, and from what i see in the comments a lot of people don't, but i have parts of myself that many people dont have problems with that id feel very insecure if they were talked about it like that. For example, I tend to stutter much more than the average person. If i saw a video making fun of an article giving advice to not stutter, id feel a little bad about myself. So while i dont have trouble with smiling, i can empathize with the feeling of feeling bad about it.

also you referring to us as just "you guys" feels off to me. frankly I find your comment more offensive than anything Danny said in this video.
@@jenm1 Your unreasonably high standards is why the American Far Right is so good at pushing lazy Americans towards their doom. It's a smile. Get over it.
@@jenm1 why do you feel the need to defend neurodivergent people when they dont need to be defended?? it's ironic how in your white-knight saving shit to feel superior to the "ableists" you imply neurodivergent people are weak and useless
As an autistic person, it never occurred to me when watching this that it was offensive lol. I had no idea until now it was removed. I had issues with smiling as a kid until I learnt, I know it's absurd and can laugh at myself. Life's better when you don't take yourself seriously and get offended by an innocent youtube video.
Me as well. I don’t show emotion very well, but this didn’t come off as offensive
all my fellow autistic people telling me not to take things seriously as if being highly sensitive isn't a symptom
same im auDHD and when i first saw this video it went over my head, people need to chill out lol. he def didnt know and its all ok
@@shilohinqso everyone should just do exactly what them types of people are comfortable with no matter what
Yeah, the worst I felt was a little 'oh that info is acc quite useful but ok 😢'
6:44 Are we going to gloss over the article saying “Don't just write it for them”?! ARE MY BEARS GOING TO BECOME SENTIENT?!
I feel like the “how to smile” article was made by and for people with ASPD or autism or something that causes them to struggle with social cues/norms and interaction.
Or psychopaths needing to mimic genuine emotion lol
I searched that! It's hard for me to smile in social situations when I don't feel happy. So I when I try to smile I smile pretty weird and fake smile. And I wanted to learn how to smile in a genuine way. I am not autistic.
@@leebarbs7176 that falls under the umbrella of what I was talking about. Many people struggle with different mental conditions that make it difficult to emote or express yourself. Idk what’s so funny. I think you’ve seen too many movies that portray these people as all heartless mindless serial killers when in reality most of them are just trying to fit in and function.
I have autism
i agree i was thinking about how it could be catered to them and like actually be helpful
I was wondering why he took this down. When he read the smile thing I remember thinking it’s deff an article I bet a lot of autistic people/people who struggle with social cues have accessed articles like this. Idk if he got backlash from it, but my bet is knowing how sweet and empathetic Danny is, he watched his commentary back after being made aware of that n felt that it could really hurt people’s feelings being referred to as like aliens n stuff
I can't deal with the comments that say that Danny took this video down because people with autism were offended. No guys, he probably thought he was being offensive, but every single comment from autistic people under the original video was extremely chill. People were just like "oh, this actually would've helped me when I was younger, so maybe that's who actually reads these articles".
Yeah I actually appreciate he took it down. I don’t remember finding it offensive, though I might just not remember. But then *I* already know better, other viewers may also not know not everyone smiles for the same reasons or is able to smile the same way. It genuinely helps to remove videos like this rather than leave them up for people to watch uncritically and be misinformed.
how do ppl find the smiling wikihow bit offensive??? im autistic and its hilarious lmao.
not a huge crowd found it "offensive", or at least didnt call danny ableist for it/go after him hardcore but when the og video was posted people informed him it was generally for people with aspd or asd, and he didnt want to keep it up because of the possibility of hurting anyone so decided to take it down himself to avoid that/gen
@@goldenmolelover ohhh okay that makes sense, ty!!
same
@@goldenmoleloverthats really considerate of him danny is such a good guy
This has always been one of my favorite Danny videos. Despite the fact that I actually did use the "how to smile" article as a preteen. I also had to look up how to talk to someone sitting next to you, and how to start a conversation. I find it funny how confused Danny is that some people don't naturally pick up on social cues.
he seems like a naturally charismatic dude so yeah its kinda funny
So sad he felt he had to take this down just because some homeschooled bears got offended
as someone with..adhd and social anxiety disorder, I should rlly read the smiling article bc I practice my smiles in the mirror to see if it'll look good for once cuz my smile sucks and I hate it. its too wide and it looks weird in my opinion
@@jametron6135 Oh man if you don't think so you probably don't know anyone with strong ADHD. They can be very obsessive and overanalyze things in any category, especially their own appearance and behavior. My friend has it and one day she described to me how much she thinks about her smile and how she had to strategize different ways of smiling for different situations to make sure she looked 'as normal as possible', and I was blown away hearing that anyone could be that worried about their smile. A streamer I watch who has it also shared his struggles with things like that, mentioning how he was even afraid to wear a hat or a pair of sunglasses because he thought people would think he was crazy and would question why he needed to wear them, when obviously most people wouldn't even notice.
Of course this is anecdotal on my part but from what I've seen, people being this concerned with "smiling right" when they're not even like a model or actor or anything where there's stakes in them getting it right is definitely right in line with having ADHD.
@@darkeimp555 ok didnt ask
@@jametron6135 No I'm not, the people I'm talking about are diagnosed with ADHD, not OCD.
@@jametron6135 Well it's well documented that people can experience ADHD to varying degrees, and medicine is a factor too. Obviously if you're on medication you might not feel it as much as someone who isn't, or is taking a different medication from you. So don't assume your experience with ADHD is the only way it can be felt, especially when others with ADHD, like OP, share their experiences and they differ from yours. They're not any less real or valid than your experiences are.

Thank you for reuploading this deleted masterpiece
Thank you for reuploading, it's ashame Danny thought he had to delete the video
Eric Andre wouldn't have a show if he hadn't carefully read How to Freak People Out.
Honestly as an Autistic person, i was never in any way mad at Danny lol. the article out of context definitely seems weird
This video is amazing. I can't wait to freak people out
CZsWorld, wow! Cool seeing you here. I have made it a fun yearly tradition to rewatch your Coraline videos around Halloween. It even intrigued me enough to get the audiobook. I also enjoyed your SAW videos, even though I only ever saw a few of the movies. And yes, your mask reminds me of Bleach, but that is fine because I love Bleach. ***Dramatic Skeletor voice*** Until we meet again!
ZOO WEE MAMA CZSWORLD???
going through your channel like it’s a danny gonzalez controversy archive i didnt even know about this but dayum he’s gotten funnier and wiser in recent years
I find the smiling article humorous in its premise since even though not everyone likes their smile, or don't look natural smiling, virtually every person on earth knows how to smile, and like Danny said, smiling is a basic human function. I think it would be more accurate to be titled "how to change your smile" or "how to look natural smiling". Definitely not offensive.
it's almost certainly for ND people who struggle showing emotions
@@Jar_Jar_Twinks it's almost certainly what?
@@aidend9 reread what i said.
@@aidend9nd = neurodivergent
These replies are a train wreck lmao
Do you guys think Troom Troom is taking advice from WikiHow? lmao
1:28 fun fact: my teeth were bad, depression hit and I grew up resulting into me not smiling. After things started to get better and I got my teeth fixed, my dentist asked me to smile, to show my fixed teeth to my dad, and I kid you not I genuinely forgot how to smile properly, resulting in me doing this creepy ass expression, scaring both the my dad and the dentist who had to teach me how the heck does a human being smile!
I know there are a lot of autistic people here putting their opinions out there, but I’m gonna be no different lol, I personally thought it funny and wasn’t offended, and as a kid I used to just NEVER smile. I remember one time going to a friends birthday party just not smiling and she asked my parents why I was “sad”, I also remember my kindergarten teacher had to beg me to smile for a yearbook pic, so I personally don’t think this was something he needed to take the vid down for, but I can’t speak for everyone… also most of this was an excuse to rant lol
i would say that the smiling bit was probably the reason the video was removed. he definitely wasn’t thinking of making fun of neurodivergent people when writing/doing the bit. i appreciate that he deleted it just in case
I have adhd and don't know how to smile on command but the joke danny made was funny as fuck
yeah i dont think i was ever offended when i watched this video. i had no idea it was taken down! danny has such integrity and i admire that sincerely about him
Right!
"I'm autistic and" is 99% of these comments omg
For real 😂
Fr they’re acting like there was a mob with pitchforks that forced Danny to take this video down. He did it of his own accord it really isn’t that deep
as someone with aspd the smiling one does help sometimes!!!
8:20 my best friend is watching a horror movie and the titled was playing and I snuck up behind them and whispered it, thanks Danny!! :D
But him taking it down shows he realized his mistake and didn’t want more people to get hurt. I think that’s really sweet :))
if this video hurts you, you have deeper issues
What was the mistake
@@realRatRat
He chose to take it down.
@@Eeok i know..?
some people are really sensitive to this type of stuff due to cancel culture; and though i understand why you don’t know how to smile or when to smile, it’s still kind of crazy that people would be hurt abt this even though he didn’t know it was offensive 😭
I’m autistic and that smiling article is stupid 😂 It wouldn’t help any autistic person I’ve ever met because it’s so badly written and, no, I don’t think it was written FOR autistic people as many people say.
I am neurotypical and I had a lot of trouble smiling until about 6 years old. I would show both rows of teeth in a menacing manner, instead of actually smiling. Now I look expressionless and confused in all of my childhood photos. XD
Okay but why is the build a bear school one so cute
2:06 this right here tells me that he has never worked retail ,or customer service, or food service, or any job that required you to work with the public. Have no disillusions, miserable people smile at you all the time.
As someone who’s worked customer service for years, yes you can smile while in a bad mood but it certainly isn’t genuine. Most people can pick up on a fake smile compared to a real one.
I’ve smiled through some really bad days and I can promise you most people aren’t fooled. You can tell in someone’s body language when they aren’t feeling it.
So would you crack a genuine smile while in a bad mood? Probably not. You’d put in your best fake smile and sweetest customer service voice, while internally wanting to scream.
coming from an autistic person, i personally believe he should’ve just edited the smile part out if he truly felt that guilty about it, it’s such a shame a good video like this got deleted ❤
3:48 yes but then again I have met several teachers who probably need to listen to this advice and not constantly smile while talking. I once had this teacher that had the most blatantly obvious fake smile on her face because she wore it ALL THE TIME!
Glad Drew never had to fake a smile in food service. Bless his heart.
It was really sweet and mature of Danny to take this down. As I watched it I realized why he would. He didn’t have to certainly but he did because HE grew and matured and HE feels like the comments he made were ableist in nature. And they are. It’s subtle ableism that comes of ignorance. Everyone’s done it and he’s very mature for doing this to show that he doesn’t co-sign that kind of stigma
i think saying his comments were “ableist” is a very big stretch lmao
@@hawassed how were his comments NOT ableist? The way he ridiculed and mocked the idea of someone not understanding emotions the way autistic people do as inhuman and worthy of mockery is pushing a stigma that contributes to ableist stereotypes.
@@hawassed, no
Yeah, I didn't see it was a reupload on a different channel
Being told as an AuDHD fan that "everyone should be able to" sit and watch a video for its entire duration made me feel sad and judged
I have never and will never be able to do that without pausing, reading comments, doodling at the same time, etc.
It's not to reinforce judgment against disabled and neurodivergent people
Even if it wasn't intentional, it can still be harmful
@hawassed
do autistic people not smile when they’re happy? That’s essentially what the article boils down to: smile when you’re happy, and don’t smile when you’re not. I’ve never met an autistic person that doesn’t know that/do it naturally
a small reminder:
not everyone has the same experience as you, autism is a spectrum, you might not struggle with things that others struggle with even if you’re autistic too.
doesnt matter no one owes it to you to not make jokes about something that maybe sort of couldve hurt someones feelings a little bit
@@jadesoda5305 it’s not illegal to be an asshole, but don’t be surprised when people don’t like you for it
It’s sad he deleted one of his best videos
Pov you thought this was actually Danny's channel
As an autistic person, I’ve never personally struggled with the smiling thing, but I would def read an article about making eye contact. Like, I physically know how to make eye contact, obviously, but it makes me uncomfortable (especially when it’s with someone I’m not very close to), so I would definitely read an article about strategies for making eye contact when it doesn’t come naturally to you. Like, what’s the eye contact to looking away ratio? What’s the best way to make it seem like you’re making eye contact when you’re really not? (I usually look at the bridge of a person’s nose)
Heck I'm not autistic (as far as I know) and I've always found "correct" eye contact difficult. It feels like this awkward dance of looking and looking away that just seems so dumb.
Vastly prefer to talk to people while we're playing a game together or doing some other activity and it's not socially mandated I look at their eyeballs 50% of the time.
I have ASD and I just don't smile.
im autisic and i can see why danny would be very confused by the smiling one.
As an autistic person who struggles with smiling sometimes, the how to smile article did not help me in anyway
I learned so much from this video 😭😭 I am autistic and have no idea when to smile, or look a certain way. I don’t think Danny understood that those articles might have been for neurodivergent people 😭
Not everyone is all-knowing and those articles don't have to be for ND people. They could be used by them
Honestly he was just confused. if he pinned a comment apologizing for saying unintentionally hurtful things, itd be just fine!
Here I am thinking he took it down because he figured he was wrong about people not smiling if they're in a bad mood because depressed people fake smiles or genuinely have moments of joy even when their general mental state has hit rock bottom, I wasn't even thinking about what everyone else is talking about
the deleted gonzalez lore goes deep 🥶🥶
Guy's, have we forgotten that he's said he doesn't like when people say he doesn't need to apologize or react however he chooses to react to controversy? Sure, many autistic people, such as myself, weren't offended by the first section. But, that doesn't change the fact that many people were. They deserve to be taken seriously, too. I'm tired of this, "I'm not offended, so it doesn't matter." Mentality.
I agree. As someone in the group of those who could have been offended, I wasn't, but I respect him for seeing a group of people who were, and deciding he didn't want to make anyone else feel bad.
I hate to break it to you but none of your fucking opinions have ever mattered lmao you self diagnosed yourself with something youre not a spokesperson all the sudden
3:57 please don’t smile like that you look like you just got back after being kidnapped by the Dai li.
Is it bad that I would be the one writing the 'How to pretend to be asleep' article just to get all of my helpful pretending to sleep tips and tricks out of my head? Also I need to read the first, second and third ones can someone please send me a link

The how to smile article was written for Chandler
underrated comment lol, very cute
6:43 Sorry, um... "don't just write for them"??? Who tf is gonna write it, then? Were these articles written by an actual robot
im autistic and i dont really feel like the vid is "offensive", moreso inadvertently uncomfortable to people who struggle with conveying emotion at worst , and mildly awkward to us at best. but regardless i think its cool to know danny was so sensitive about a topic that could have potentially been ableist, i like when content creators i watch are aware of stuff like that. i would rather him have taken it off his own channel because he felt uncomfortable rather than him ignoring any person who told him it could come across as offensive since the latter type of behavior usually harbors a lot of arrogance with it.
im autistic (and also a robot) and i have to say the smiling thing wasnt offensive in the slightest. danny is a neurotypical human being so it makes a lot of sense that he would be confused
i see some people describe “normal people” as a way to put them down and i dont understand. i see where you’re comin from though
The smiling one I'd assume is for ppl on the spectrum who are interested in masking.
Not every autistic person is socially inept. I don't think i know a single autistic person who would need help to smile, stop acting like everything is offensive
@@issy3295 oh sorry didn’t know you knew every autistic person in the world. it’s a spectrum, idiot, and struggling with facial expressions is one of the most well known symptoms of autism. you’re definitely one of those people who claims to support autistic people, but makes fun of SPED kids and any autistic that isn’t “high functioning” enough for you. of course danny wasn’t trying to be offensive but you clearly are trying to be, just say you hate autistic people who actually struggle and aren’t just uwu cutesy and quirky and be quiet already

as an autistic person, i dont think the smiling part was offensive but just confusion plus it was kinda funny, i still appreciate that he deleted it
Okay hold up I have the tism and I at first thought I smiled fine but then with some of the extra questions I was like "wait I've asked that before" or at least felt self conscious about doing it incorrectly. Like I sit and I look at people and I'm like "am I looking too long" "should I look calmer" "do I look upset" because I just kinda don't know how. And since I'm pretty damn high functioning so it's weird to realize these little things.
You can still smile when you're angry though, lol
Im a schizophrenic paraplegic and i thought this was hilarious
I’m autistic and I can’t smile right. My whole life I’ve been practicing in mirrors but they don’t look right. I edit smiles into my pictures. I wish it didn’t get taken down
I’m not autistic but I have bad social anxiety and I would have found that smiling article helpful 😅 but I actually like Danny’s reaction to it. It’s a reminder that what I go through every day isn’t normal and I actually do need help and can’t trust my bad perception of myself telling myself I don’t “do things right”
I never knew that some people actually don't know how to smile. It's crazy how things you don't even think about can be a struggle for others, and vice versa.
The main people who were upset by this video are people who aren’t autistic

If you feel "unsafe" because of a guy saying "haha that's kinda weird" about a wikihow article on how to make a basic human facial expression, you maybe don't need to be on the internet.
Maybe get therapy. That's not sarcasm that's a genuine suggestion, I don't think thats stable behavior
@@drawingdragon gonna regret responding to this because the internet is just people looking to start shit that goes nowhere and leaves everyone exhausted and feeling like they’ve wasted time (because they have), but clearly danny took this down because he realised this could be harmful to some people. if he can recognise that, then you can too. just because you don’t get why something could be harmful doesn’t mean you get to dictate what someone else might find harmful. that’s something you can talk about in therapy, as i’m assuming that since you’re speaking as someone who is self aware enough to be in therapy themself and isn’t just using “get therapy lol” as a way to diss strangers online. you seem to be a big proponent of therapy, so since you’re in therapy, i’m sure you know that a therapist would never respond to “this made me feel unsafe” with “that doesn’t make ME feel unsafe so you’re wrong actually god people are so sensitive these days”. i look forward to your response that will further this conversation on its path to us arriving at no mutual understanding because no one has ever come to an agreement in a youtube comments section and it’s not gonna start with us 🤗
I have Aspergers and I am 100% more offended by the people getting triggered by this video than I am about this video.
I'm not an autistic person in a sense that I do not know how to smile "properly", but even tho I think that Danny wasn't making fun of people who don't know how to smile, he was making fun of the whole website. I'm sure there are way better sources than wikihow on these issues, as I really don't trust it myself, even if I'm looking up how to literally do the most "easy" task ever because sometimes it's just difficult for me myself, I will not use that website, it's just meh for me. I'm glad to see so many people thinking it wasn't necessary to take it down because it wasn't really that offensive in their eyes.
I'm gonna be honest if I saw "how do I smile?" in someone's search history, I'm thinking they're either a sociopath or a very very sad person who needs a hug.
I wouldn't say this was offensive (granted, I don't have autism, I'm not on the spectrum as far as I know) but I'd rather Danny be more considerate than not. Besides it's his channel if he wants to delete any videos, he's entitled to that.
But I feel that if you get offended by a youtube video from a channel that’s sole purpose is to make jokes then you should maybe not choose to get offended and think about the fact that it isnt aimed toward you. Absolutely no one should be getting offended by this and if you do, simply stop watching Danny’s videos. Or accept that you are sensitive to things.

I'd call this an honest mistake. A lot of things autistic people go through seem alien/robotic to neurotypicals and I can understand joking about it when you don't necessarily know it's autistic people you're inadvertently joking about. As long as you choose to correct it when you do learn.

Wait I'm not supposed to smile if I'm in a bad mood? ..... what would the side effects be if any from doing this regularly for 25 years?
Danny, google knows you the fastest growing army!! (Also yes I did look it up, but the urban dictionary said I was allowed to once
While I wasn’t offended by the smiling part, and I am on the autism spectrum myself, but I really respect the fact that he preferred to make sure others didn’t feel bad. He very obviously doesn't like when his videos make people feel bad, and the effort to stop even one more person seeing the video and feeling alienated or feel bad is very sweet.
Sure, I didn’t care, and from what i see in the comments a lot of people don't, but i have parts of myself that many people dont have problems with that id feel very insecure if they were talked about it like that. For example, I tend to stutter much more than the average person. If i saw a video making fun of an article giving advice to not stutter, id feel a little bad about myself. So while i dont have trouble with smiling, i can empathize with the feeling of feeling bad about it.
