Whoa. This was one of the coolest videos I've ever watched! Immensely helpful!
Fascinating video and the hand drawn graphics are a nice touch!
Time to see if this matches my reasons for faking my happiness as someone with incurable depression.
I once went to a baby shower with this aura.
It was my BIL’s. Against his wife’s wishes, he did coke off a stripper at his bachelor party. He also let his new wife get stopped by a cop in Texas with their bongs. He didn’t even stop for her, he just kept going on.
That was the most depressing baby shower I had ever been to.
My BIL just sat on his butt the whole time while his wife got chairs for people, picked up the presents, etc. BIL laughed and made inappropriate jokes while SIL was quiet and reserved.
I am so sad for my SIL. She deserves so much better and has sacrificed so much for him. She even nearly died giving birth to his kid. They are still together but seem so miserable.
Biggest reality check I ever saw that babies don’t fix a marriage.
The worst thing about this is that it is encouraged by others. The amount of times I've had compliments about my positive energy, always being happy.
It makes it harder to ask for help when you're outwardly happy.
Even professional doctors when I have gone to them, a smile appears on my face without me wanting to, it's just what comes even if I talk about something traumatic or how I'm struggling. One doctor even told me "what I see on the form you filled out and what i see now don't collerate".
I struggled with self harm for a while because it was the only way I could get people to listen when I said I was struggling.
This video explained the emotions perfectly
The chronic happiness is just as bad as anger issues or depression.
It also makes me struggle to know what hobbies I actually enjoy and make me happy, or what hobbies I have to help my outward persona.
Dont think i can do the "treatment" Il go with jesus thanks
