[Past] As a young child, he was bright, friendly, and laughed a lot. However, in kindergarten, a classmate told him he had a "weird laugh like a girl," which caused him to lose confidence in his smile and stop laughing altogether. He once tried practicing smiling in front of a mirror, but he became afraid of seeing his own smiling face and couldn't do it.
