We are also champion "fakers". People do not see the distress that we are in much of the time because we refuse to show it, and when we do it's usually because the emotions went "over the top" to where they became uncontrollable to NOT show or because they came on really suddenly before we could maintain the composure needed for it not to come out....and a lot of the times when we DO show the emotions they are usually over things the average person takes as "trivial". They do not know why we get upset and stay upset over things that don't bother them in the first place.
