Do you have any idea WHY you supress your feelings of joy? Like when you see your parents -- why do you supress THOSE feelings? Do you feel that your parents will make fun of you or something? Are you afraid of being rejected?

Do you have any idea where this "supression" came from? Joy is contagious, so I wouldn't think you would WANT to supress it. But if you've been rejected or made fun of I can understand it.

Knowing the reason for it would help you figure out why you're doing it. Then maybe we can work on stopping it. It may take some therapy.

I wish you the best -- keep us posted, ok? Hugs, Lee
