And I wonder what I should look like?

My PSYCHOLOGIST roomie told me I seem like a flegmatic. huh? I can fake it through depressive episode (it is actually funny how many people consider me saying "I wanna die" funny), though if you have a closer look, you will def notice something is going on, but I cannot fake it through hypomania. I talk faster. I get absurd in what I say.
I was actually happy to hear that. I can fake well. As well as I am happy to hear that I don't look nervous when public speaking.
(I was outed last year by a host PhD from Netherlands. He had an encouraging speech to me. Although... I know I am intelligent and I have things to say. Knowing does not help my anxiety still).
