Happieness

Yeah I do. Most of the time when I am unhappy I pretend that nothing have happened and I am very cool and happy. I am very good at hiding my emotions and feeling from others. So, Most of the time when I am sad, I pretend nothing happened and I am very happy. Showing that you're upset or unhappy won't make any difference unless you make your own self happy.

yeah sometimes i do, especially in front of unknown people but not those who are really close to me though. and sometimes i put on a happy face at work too. i mean i can't go to work with a sour face haha. i hate putting up a fake smile.

I have in the past. I learned recently that its called being a "Poser". To pretend everything is peachy keen when in fact its more sour than a lemon. So I am taking steps to avoid falling back into that catergory. It is hard to do at times, but in reality you are control of you happiness.

In some cases yes, i have to pretend that i'm happy. It's my personal feeling, i can keep it as long as i want. Just like my friends say, they will not know that i'm having a problem because i'm always smiling and making them laugh. But it's all good. I know being happy and hoping for better things to turn out right inspite of facing some difficulties in life can help you go through it.

I pretend I am happy in front of people just so I don't have to explain myself to anyone. There are times when I just don't want to explain myself to people and my problems (that are making me uphappy) because either no one will understand or they make a big deal about it. So, if you act happy in front of them then they have no reason to ask you what's wrong (which make it worse).

Although it is not good to be pretentious. Sometimes I find it necessary to do so, in order to avoid making important people in your life, perplexed with you... Whenever I'm into a depressing situation, I use to talk to my best friend (my mom) but I talk about a lot of good things, happy stuffs.. Because I do not want her to worry about me.. I know she already has a lot of things to worry about... When things are over and the problems are fixed, that's when I approach her and tell her about everything.. Though done and over with, Sometimes, I still break down and cry in front of her and laugh at how I managed to fix it myself... At least that way, I did not make her worry... Smiling has never been bad.. I think.. Even if it is a fake one... ^^ maybe...

No, why should I put on a front. People are unhappy all the time. I should not have to hide my feelings that would just make me more mad.

It depends who I am with. I am usually myself and I show my emotions quite easily. The only time I will put on a brave happy face is if I feel that the other person is having concerns of his or her own and does not need to be burdened by my problems

I think I have become a little better at showing my feelings instead of hiding them, but I still tend to pretend that I am happy even when I am not. About 10 years ago I had my first depression, I tried very hard to hide it and I managed to keep my "happy face" for many months. I pretended to be happy and talkative even when I was feeling terrible inside. Now I am open about my depression, and I have learned to be more honest about my feelings, but I find it hard, and¨I often feel like pretending that I am happy.

I would say friend i am moody peson so its depends on mood and its doesn't effected by people thanks for sharing

Yes I do. I mustly do it at work because there are so many crabby women I work with! I don't want to be associated with that!

happiness is nearby.hehe.

Sometimes I pretend to my friends that are not that close to me but to the friends that are really close to me, I don't because if they see that you are not happy, they will find a way to make you happy of to cheer you up.

There are times when it's necessary, especially if the situation calls for it (like if you don't want your parents to notice that you have a problem because it can affect them also).
