Simple but deep statement.

I have, not often though. To be honest I kinda think when you cry inside but try to hide it with a smile, it actally feels worse than being sad with no attempt to hide it (or physical cry). To hide sadness with happiness takes too much energy (in my opinion) and I just don't have it in me.

Definitely.

I hate it when you really can't explain what you feel to someone, so you just hide it.

I do this perhaps way more than is healthy for me. Not necessarily a smile, but I always do my best to keep face and display that nothing is wrong even to the extent of faking happiness in front of others if I feel that they would be troubled to see me otherwise.

Exactly, I do that nearly everyday, to everyone. It's extremely draining, It'd be nice if i didn't have to but I do...

I do it all the time with people IRL... because my motivation, how I get 'happiness' is different. Because sadly, many people I know think that there's something wrong with showing too much of yourself.

I could never hide sadness with a smile. Kinda like Layzie said, it just takes to much out of you

I'd just do what I normally do...show no outward emotion and let it pile up on the inside

Yeah i do basically that, i just exchange no outward emotion for smiles so everyone thinks i'm great, I've found that the more i smile the more happy my brothers are and its basically i chain reaction, I do my best to keep everyone around me happy, Maybe its stupid but at least there happy

No, I hate crying. I don't usually let people see me cry. I'll hold it in until I'm alone or something and then do whatever.

Sometimes. In England it is widely regarded as bad to show too much emotion and crying is somewhat 'frowned' (can't think of a better word) upon. I smile while others are around and then when I'm alone I can cry and show how I really feel

I don't really have anybody that I can show emotion in front of without feeling as though I'm being judged. It is why I loved AF and ToS so much.

Yes its happened to me. I do it very often with my roommates and my parents. I figure they wouldn't understand so i do not convey that anything is wrong. I agree though it is hard on you holding things back. Makes ne wish I knew everyone here irl
