I put a smile on and pretend to be happy
Name: Teddy
Comments: I put a smile on and pretend to be happy but honestly I don't feel that way and I feel like I'm not being genuine but a big hypocrite because within I feel very depressed. Should I keep up the act or show people how I really feel?
You know what... I feel like that sometimes. I don't know your reasons for depression but I would only show the true you to those who can help you and understand you because others might not take it the right way or even care.
I think everyone feels this way at one time or other, but if its getting too much trouble to put that smile on, then its time to see someone. Even if you believe that there's nothing really wrong with you. If you're pretending, it could mean you are becoming depressed.
