[Blog] Apparently I'm good at hiding my feelings. by Sjru

Or I was... I guess..

It's too easy for me to show myself as "Happy and dandy", and I do a darn good job at it.
But is it worth faking myself? I don't have many reasons to be happy, tbh. I stil lfeel empty on my inside, and while I can look happy easily, does it mean that really I am?

Well... if I do fake it and I look happy and stuff noone worries and everything goes "well"... but that thing eats my confidence slowly.

While I need to show up as strong, and having high confidence (Because many expect me to), doesn't mean that I really have that strength on me.

I'm not saying that I'm mentally weak, in fact, if I were, I would be way worse and I wouldn't be able to do the duties and responsibilites I have IRL and online.
What I'm saying is that it's too easy for me to show feelings that I don't have really, mostly because I'm on meds I guess.

It shouldn't be a problem, it really shouldn't. If we all "are happy" there aren't problems, right? Then why I should worry and try to show what I really feel, while I can just "stay happy"?.

Mostly because I'm tired of doing that. I would like to have a legitimate reason to be happy, and not just "be happy" to not worry others just cause I can use my mind to show myself as.

"Oh but you have a family that loves you, and lots of friends, why not be happy?" Because if it was like that, I wouldn't be like this right now, right?

As I said before in other journals, I feel empty on the inside, I lack something, perhaps someone to share the happiness I can give with, or just some to rely on closely and emotionally. And that's something that hardly a friend can give.

But I'm not expert at emotions, I usually fail at showing them correctly, and as such I can fake it easily. To the point that sometimes I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

Perhaps I'm destined to be like this for a long time? I am too complicated for others to bother emotionally I guess. Too picky and hard? I don't know.

In any case "I can show as happy" and I think that most only care for that. If it doesn't show, there's no problem, right? Right?

But I don't want to anymore, mostly... I still fake without thinking, gosh I don't know what I'm doing anymore. What I feel? I don't know.

    I'm the same way. Maybe it will provide a little comfort knowing you're not the only one who feels like that, who has to fake who he is to keep others happy, who sometimes can't tell who he is from the mask he's been wearing for years.
