I fake it everyday at work. That's my job; to smile and cheerful and welcome guests. I guarantee you that I don't feel like smiling or being cheerful but at least I get paid for it. Mostly, I try to act like I do when I'm normal(whatever that is). I just don't feel I need to let everyone know I'm falling apart on the inside. And Trippin2 is right, I had cancer but I didn't tell everyone I met. (my mother did that) There are just some people don't need to know everything there is to know about me, especially since most couldn't understand it anyway.
