I'm concentrating on being authentic, and am operating under the assumption that part of being authentic is being honest about the emotions I'm feeling. I'm fairly expressive, and my facial expressions often give away the emotions I'm experiencing.

However, it seems to me that most people around me are doing a good job of actually hiding their true feelings. From what I can tell, their face is a mask, and the only way I will have access to what they're feeling is if they choose to tell me in words.

What do you think? Is one way of living any better than another? I know I'd prefer a world where I could count on knowing what someone was actually experiencing. But, there are so many who are good at hiding their internal world, it's like I'm at a disadvantage.
