Yes, that is true.

This person has their ups and downs. But if I would keep focusing on them guess who would be come the fake one. ME, because of fear that doesn't need to be there.

Plus, this person has told me many of times they love my laughs and love the fact that I laugh a lot and I mean A LOT. I know it's a defense mechanism I have. Plus, I love making others laugh, if I see them down I want to make them laugh; if it doesn't work... it doesn't work. They know that too.
