I’ve got so good and pretending to be happy I sometimes even fool myself, but then I come to the quick realization that its just a facade and everything hits me a thousand times harder. The strange thing is I feel as if this only happens to me……
Definitely not just you. I don’t even feel like a real person. But I have a suspicion that most people feel that way. Maybe there’s no such thing as a real person.
I really regret that I effectively spent years training myself to keep laughing and smiling. I agree with theresa_riot: I think most people do it to a certain extent. Sometimes we never know, but other times it’s quite easy to tell.

I do this as well. It’s because I feel I’m a burden to others if I’m depressed.
You’re not alone in this. 🙁
I think of it as my hard candy coating covering my bruised apple interior.
Nope you aren’t alone.
