I think the problem is we don't want to show the world how miserable we really are inside. But hiding it doesn't solve anything, I think it makes it worse and is dishonest to ourselves, (and people we try to fool, often can't be fooled by a face smile. A poker face just means, don't read me. I haven't been able to figure that one out) which is what really matters. Looking after ourselves, getting the help we need instead of denying what we feel and that we need help. I need lots of help, and I've finally learned to ask for it.
