I think this may be related to anxiety. It’s difficult for me to explain. When I’m talking to somebody, I become aware of my mouth and I get this defensive smile as I’m talking, and then the other person will get this defensive smile too as their talking, and then there’s this awkward tension. Sometimes I’m not exactly sure why I do it, but I notice I’m defensive and self-conscious. I hope I’m making sense. I see it when I’m watching two people talk on podcasts sometimes too. Does it have to do with a lack of respect? Is it anxiety-related? Do you even know what I’m talking about?
