It really sounds like you’re just driven to be miserable 🥴

And it sounds like he’s ignorant to public etiquette and so are you tbh, if you think smiling when discussing the topic of a child not being free of cancer (even though they thought they were), is not weird/rude

That topic is rough, but if you develop a pessimistic attitude towards it then that shows. Kids pickup really easily on body language. Maybe consider seeing a therapist bc it seems like you have some unresolved feelings over something

Not pessimistic, but polite attitude. There’s no need to be smiling when discussing such a topic, especially when not in front of the kids. However, it comes off as weird if you’re smiling when discussing said topic. And I’m definitely not the only one who has picked up on it lol

Oh Im sorry. Let me make it clear. A smile goes a long way. If you were a kid and your dr was speaking to you about your cancer without smiling and being positive would you feel safe? Or would you be scared like oh shit Im gonna die. And have you considered that its a coping mechanism? Bc dealing with that shit day in and day out destroys someone. If you have a problem with it why not bring it to your higher up?

Well, I hadn’t thought of that possibility. Rather, I was considering just casually throwing a comment about it maybe in a joking manner, but I just couldn’t come up with a reason he does it. I just thought maybe he might not understand how inappropriate and slightly creepy it seems. I’m not the only one who noticed this, our other coworkers have because I’ve heard them talking about it. So apparently, he does it with them too.

In our department, we keep our demeanor cheerful and playful around the kids. But when you’re discussing such a serious issue with no kids around (in the break room perhaps and not the kids records or anything), it’s a bit weird to keep a smile or even cheerful demeanor. You don’t have to be gloomy, but keep a polite but serious expression because no one wants to see someone smiling when trying to talk about cancer:/

It’s supposed to get you to self reflect, but you’ve made it abundantly clear that you’re incapable of that.
