As soon as I think I'm happy something ruins it. It may not be intentional but it does, and I keep it to myself. I probably shouldn't but I feel like when I tell people they push away from me and ignore me. For this reason I keep a fake smile on my face, I only tell them good things, I don't reveal the pain I may feel. I regret when I do tell them how I really feel. My only real release is usually the silent lonely tears that stream down my face as I drift off to sleep to only be haunted by night mares and restless sleep. It's hard to eat or feel good in general. I feel so alone even when I'm at home. I'm restless and insecure in reality...but to my friends' reality, I'm happy, I'm all smiles and laughter. To my friends the only tears coming from my eyes are from joy. That's who I show them so I don't feel like I'm ever a burden to anyone. The way I see it, my emotions makes it my problem. I refuse to put it on anyone else.

everyone has issues and problems.......until you learn to embrace them and share them, you will never ease yourself of the pain and sadness you feel. You don't need to put on the "perfect" face for your friends...just know if you are acting perfect because they seem perfect to you...it means they are faking it as well.....i know i know i know hearing this is hard to believe/understand when you are younger (i perused your profile page and lets just say, i am not old enough to be your mom, but old enough to have 10 years plus perspective on where you are in life)....and i do not EVER mean to sound condescending...i just remember how i felt at the time....and how learned to deal with it, accept it, not be bothered by it as i got older...
