[Debate] Can you pretend to be happy?

[AirWind]

How well you guys cope with your life pressure in daily mode? How do you control your emotions during rough period and conceals it underneath your skin? Will you still be able to smile and show your happy face to everyone in such hard times? Or you're the type of person who just shut everything from outside world and secluded yourself to some place else?

You can pretend to be anything, it's up to you. I don't know how convincingly though.

Not caring about trifling matters will save you mate.

Well Yeah I try to keep a happy face most of the times and keep my hurt to myself!! It happens that I sometimes cry when no one is around!!
However there's a Limit until I can keep it to myself but,after that I just lose my patience and cry without bounds!

People cant adjudged us to be hypocrites if we shown what we truly felt, but sometimes in a time where we could pretend happiness for our sadness and make everyone else comfortable, it is a job well done.

i try but people hate me because of RACE

This got nothing to do with "pretending to be happy"......

 

[Shiina..]

Of course.. Everyone can. >_>
Though it's more difficult to do it in real life than here. xD

 

[Nonomi]

Ofcourse, though there's no need.​

You can act, but not for long. Faking your emotions will only cause you mental stress.
If you can't be happy right now, go somewhere alone until you've calmed down. Personally I meditate, pray and go for jogs when I need to vent. Nothing good can come out of a person when their mind isn't 100%. You'll either say things you'll regret later, or pull yourself down further.

I keep myself together, by always trying to be as honest as possible. The less you have to hide, the less you have to stress about things taking a surprise on you.

Probably, they don't like you cause maby you are ugly.

OT: I don't know. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Others say, it's all up to you, but no...I don't think so. You can't start laughing in the worst day of your life or something.

 

[Mizutoki]

I like to express my feelings and thoughts to people. It could be good or bad.


One exception: A job. That's when compromises have to be made.

 

[YowYan]

I just get passive.

 

[ArabianLuffy]

Depends on a situation. I can easily get mad over little or big things. I can ignore. I can be OK with it. It all about the mood, the time and place.

 

[ThomasJeffersonwasasadist]

If your sad and you don't want to bum people out don't be phony and act happy just conceal your true feelings and act normal

This all depends on what kind of problem I am trying to cope with at that point in time. A few months ago, I had to continuously try and act happy around others when I really was not. I was in a bad relationship and I did not want my friends or family to see how unhappy I really was. So I just pretended everything was alright, even when I was miserable and would cry almost every night. Pathetic, I know. But since I broke up with him, and have ceased all contact with my ex, I have been genuinely happy.
With other, less unimportant life issues, I tend to just close it up, hide that it bothers me, and slowly try to deal with it myself. I do not like involving others in my issues, or letting them know that something is wrong. I do not like making my loved ones worry.
