I'm a pro at pretending. So... even when I'm terrified, I'll look and sound fine and socialable. I've had a lot of practice at how to do it when I've been in a hypomanic state, so I can imitate it the rest of the time.
I also got sick and tired of people always telling me to do more of X, Y, Z, so I started practicing it when I was younger. I'm still not always very comfortable.. but I can get through the situations and I can sound and act pleasant (and even confident!) while doing so.
