Greetings from the House of Mormont!
By participating in a Writing.com activity called "Invalid Item"  , I am in no way endorsing the GoT franchise or identifying as a fan thereof. Iām here to help my team win 
What an excellent, simple reminder of these three important things that can help us gain control of our feelings and thoughts.
Smiling is indeed quite important, especially when weāre around others. I remember when I was an awkward preteen the cashiers would look at me and say āaww, you should smile, hon!ā Which was so embarrassing. Iām not a āsmileyā person by natureā¦ even when I take selfies, I feel as though I look more āinterestingā and āartisticā when Iām not smiling, which is weird, but not really because usually when I take a selfie itās for a digital mixed media art project, and mine border on the surreal, and a goofy grin isnāt particularly surreal. I do smile when I take selfies with stuffed animals, which is a habit Iāve developed because Iām too broke to buy every adorable Squishmallow I see 
Being quiet is also something I can identify with, as Iām usually an incredibly quiet and withdrawn person. I have a lot going on in my head, and sometimes I run around online stuffing it with even more things (social media, useless bad news, etc,) and sometimes I just have to step back from the screens and the earbuds and sit quietly to sort out my thoughts and discover whatās actually my own voice and whatās pointless clutter drifting around in there.
Focusing on my own thoughts, feelings and actions is an incredibly sensible piece of advice that I need to remind myself of. I often find myself swept up in other peopleās emotions and acting out of frustration and overload when I need to hold back and ask myself how I really feel about a situation rather than mirroring what I see in others.
Ok, none of this is advice about your item. Honestly, I canāt suggest anything because itās a personal piece about your own experiences and perceptions. I think itās clear and well written and suits the prompt well.
Thanks for sharing, take care, and keep writing
