they don’t understand

the reason why im so good at hiding my depression is that i do everything everyone tells me. i do what others say i should do to gain their approval of my life. because if everyone else thinks im doing good in my life then obviously i must be happy and not depressed in the slightest. i go to college because thats what everyone my age does and its what my parents want me to do. i do so many things to make others happy so they wont see me.
