Can you keep smile on your face, when you are angry or sad?

I would be cheating myself If i expressed the exact opposite of what I felt. Putting on a mask is not always considered good. Expressing your true self and your true emotions helps you understand your self and other to understand you.

hmmm yes especially in the office, we cannot really let our emotions get to us, when i am in the office and i got mad regading something i do not get mad here, or cry...i try to keep a happy face so my boss wont see..but when i am at home, i cannot i immediately cry and hide..

Yes. I always put a smile on my face whenever sad or angry. I never get tantrum nor bad tempered. It is not about wearing a mask yourself. It is more about the image yourself. You know, why do you put a frown face or sad face to others if the problems are yours? There are yours, so you should not give them your bad expressions. That's why I put a smile on my face all the time. Except to my best friends, mentors, and anyone who is close to me. I can be honest to them what I feel by telling them not showing your bad expression. I think this will lessen the burden of pressure or disappointments from others. That's what I experienced. It works well with me and everybody is getting along well with me. You know, I am a very emotional person but I practice to control myself because not everybody has the same personality. I know it is really hard to discipline but that's how our life is. =)

If your negative attitude will seriously affect others then oyu can try to put on a mask for a while, but usually i support the idea of being same both inside and outside.

Mostly i am what i am,and that is what i want to be.But sometimes ,we have to wear a mask,even lie.Just for the best results.For example,if you are a boss,then you have to wear a mask as a boss,not the good brother in your family.so,it is hard to say whether we should wear masks,it is really a comlex question.

Well, everything depends upon the situation that you are in. When you are in the office, and you feel the world turns against you, you cant just show a sad face then. Or else, you will be kick off by your boss..Being a professional demands u to act like one..You have to leave your personal problems home.

The secret to smiling when you're angry or sad, or anything other than happy, is to find something humourous about the situation, and laugh. Sometimes in rough situations, the smallest ironies, and the smallest things can be full of humour. You just have to look for them.

When Im sad it really shows. Its hard for me to control my feelings. But sometime I try to let people see that I am happy even thought Im not but it doesnt take long. When Im sad i dont mingle with people. I just dont like to.

some times i wear masks to hide my expressions.because i have faced lot of incidents like that.one day my husband insulted me in front of my friends.after that i was angry with my husband.that time some guests came to my home.that time i acted like a happy person.

yes, i agree with you.everyone wears a mask everyday. i can't keep smile on my face. i want to be who i am, but i can't.

Hi Icesmile, To answer your question, can i keep smile on my face, even of i am angry or sad? The answer is no and yes. No is because if i am with my close friend, my family, i won't hike my feelings, you can easy tell if i am happy or sad or angry. Yes, is because at work, i can't show my emotion, even i hate that people, i still have to smile to him, why? They are my clients, we lose them, we lose our job. So...let it be.

some time i wear a smile when i am angry or sad we don't need to let every one know what is wrong with us all the time if we did we have to answer all kinds of questions.

Oh! I'm really bad inthat. Even if i try to keep my emotion to myself the other person looknig at me somehow finds it. Probably for me my face is the index of my mind!!! So i smile when i'm happy and i go red when i'm angry and my face does droopy when i'm sad. :)

I think we all try to wear masks. Why? Well for different reasons depending on who it is. I don't show my real emotion to some people because I don't want my bad mood to affect them. I mean, if I'm sad and my friend is really happy, I don't want my friend to be sad because of me. I'd rather bear the pain and smile so my friend will have her/his moment of happiness, even if I am sad. But when I really need to show my emotions, I do. We shouldn't hide things forever, as this can cause emotional damage. But sometimes we need to hide things for a while, when it's not good to show emotion.
