Vent, talk to yourself in front of the mirror, but NEVER EVER fake it til' you make it. The only fool remains you for doing so. I am sick and tired of being told to fake it and not show any emotions from the time I was 5 years old by my parents and relatives, and today i am totally unfazed by what happens to them. Years of practice what they told me have made me rational to the point now where they say I am "cold" and "emotionless". Little do they know it's what they taught me that came back to bite them, and even less do they know the perfect storm that keeps on brewing inside me since the day I was born and started to remember.
Thank you for not faking it!

Lucianus...I'm sorry you have had such a hard life, and have so much to deal with right now. It's important to everyone here that we are able to express ourselves without judgment...I don't think anyone was telling you that you have to fake it. I'm sure that you will find your own ways to cope, as have the rest of us. I hope that you will find positive support and unconditional acceptance here. I wish you peace.
