Sorry it's vague but maybe it rings a bell for someone.
Not sure if it was MLM, WLW or a straight story but I remember three points 1. the main character was a transfer and apparently was kind of tired of trying to make new friends everytime, so they just kept their social interactions superficial 2. I think that also involved them always smiling or something (i think in my memory they were also portrayed as quite the pretty face, but I'm not sure) 3. And unless I mixed things up I think the romantic lead was bothered by that at the beginning. Maybe even called it a "fake smile" or something.
What stuck with me was mostly just this plot trope: the protagonist having been an outcast repeatedly due to repeated transfers and thus having given up on meaningful friendships
Even if this is a trope in several stories, maybe reading similar stories like the one I remember might be nice, too. So thanks in advance if anybody can think of one.
