Are you wearing a mask to make people believe that you are really fine? Do you try to hide your real emotions from your friends, family or co-workers?
It is really hard to pretend when it comes to emotions. It tends to be easier to say “I’m fine” or “I’m all right don’t worry about me”.
However, the truth is you are really not okay.
You don’t feel comfortable when you say it because you know that you are just pretending. Pretending is temporarily helpful in that you don’t have to deal with it at this very moment, but pretending is not for the long haul.
Stockpiling your real feelings and never expressing them can result in much turmoil. Therapy can help you learn to express your feelings more appropriately.
