What about the Kim Kardashian body type? That one I can't complain about though.

Well, that's just called being social, it's a nonverbal communication signal. 

Its so foundational, it really is hard to imagine socializing without smiling. But I would say it comes in degrees and the over the top smiling is definitely conformity. On pictures especially. Btw people back in the day looked grim on pictures because the logic was that a picture is about capturing how reality is in that moment. The idea to smile on pictures was founded later. 

I remember the day when I first learned the socializing technique to smile and laugh at shit I dont find funny. It was a grim day. It took away much of my happiness as happiness was now functional.

Putting a picture of yourself as a kid as your profile picture on social 😭

I think the social media examples are just endless. Blue checkmarks, there's so much more. 

Everybody removing their status on WhatsApp once it became a feature a few weeks ago. 

Not sure how widespread it was internationally but here in germany it was an absurd trend for a few days.
