True...but I feel like wearing a mask, so much so that you portray something you actually aren't and wearing a mask just to hide some strong emotions are two very different things. If I'm wearing my mask full on, I'm almost like a different person...bubbly, laughing, would never dare cry in front of anyone ever...when my mask isn't so full on, I can slip up and people will know that something is going on.

And don't get me wrong here...when I'm actually feeling well and not wearing any mask, I can be bubbly, smile and laugh a lot etc...but it's real instead of forced.
