What's the name for this smile/facial expression? That sort of smile you give when you see something very sad or naive and you almost want to see the silver lining or know that the world is going to rock the naive person's boat?

Like when with down syndrome tells you they honestly want to become a surgeon - what is the name of this facial expression that occurs as a result?

He's looking for a word for the facial expression, and that word is grimace.

i dont think one example will suffice. try and describe as many scenarios as you can, see if thatll get the brain juices flowing. only one i can think of is:

>young child with glasses tells you he'll be a pilot one day

>>8971410
this isnt schadenfreude. op isnt saying that he WANTS to see the world rock the person's boat, hes saying that he KNOWS for a fact that the world will rock the person's boat one day.

its pity and empathy, not malice.
