Even if your smile is objectively the dumbest-looking smile in the world, anyone who genuinely cares about you will be happy to see it regardless, because it shows that right now, in this moment, you're good. You're happy, amused, whatever, and that's not dumb at all.
Too often, people who leave behind toxic belief systems might leave behind the beliefs but not the system. A toxic religious or political ideology teaches you to think something dogmatically; when you stop believing, you think you're free, but then you commit yourself to believing something else dogmatically. You see this a lot with ex-Christian atheists: because they don't believe in God anymore, they insist that anyone who does is illogical, stupid, etc. They've changed what they believe but not how they believe it.
