I'm the same way, though my T can see right through it. I've been told that my smile looks fake because my eyes always look tired and they drift off when I smile. I also laugh a lot. I find humour and comedy to be my little escape when things get really bad. It's always something I can depend on and because of that, I was never really taken too seriously by my family. My brother is really quiet, really anxious, and makes his suffering with depression quite obvious (not intentionally, of course!) I always got compared to him in a way. I was always seen as trying to take the attention away from my brother when in reality, we were both crying out for help in two different ways.

Hang in there! At least you have us to understand what you're dealing with!
