This is a topic I can very well relate with. I've had a lot of times when I'm going through and dealing with a lot and was still always smiling and acting like everything is going on well with me. There are times I just smile and joke, and all just so as not to make anyone suspicious or notice I'm not fine. And there are even times I'd wish someone who knows me so well, someone who can look beyond the smile on my face and see me, and ask me if I'm really fine and doing well.
And the funniest part is, I'm not the type who opens up to people that much, and I have my reasons, one of which is that I happen to be that go-to person of a lot of people. And I also happen to be the type who does not like to disturb others with my own problem. I don't like being a burden to someone, and I also do not want to regret sharing stuff with someone I will later regret or that will now make my case a topic of discussion.
We all are different; I very well understand that. But I know that people like me who barely talk or say if they're having a problem are always scared of getting judged or being seen differently. Some of those who act genuine and ask how we feel don't actually mean it; some do not really care; they are just acting like they do. And because some of us have had this experience with people, we felt keeping quiet is the best thing to do.
But then, we don't need to pretend to be fine when we are not. We're all humans, and we will always need one another. Let us try as much as possible to be a safe space for someone else; let us learn to listen and be there for each other. We all are humans, so we should make the world a safe and better place to live in. We all are carrying something inside of us; we all are facing one or two, and for that reason we should be a little kinder to one another. The fact that someone is smiling doesn't mean they are really happy; the fact they're looking good doesn't mean they don't have things bothering them too. And for people like us, we actually do not need you to really solve our problems; we just need you to be that person that we're to others too. I mean, we just need to know that we can trust someone too and that someone can genuinely care for us as well.
