True or False. One of the hardest things in life is to have to put on a face when all you want to do is breakdown and cry?

[Simslover92]

True

False

[ohsheeT]

Im going to say true. But when that happens I can never find the face I'm looking for. So I just go with the one I can always find. That's the face of being shocked with 220 volts

[dudeinohio]

Yes. True. When my mom died, all the kids were in the area, flown down from their various states. Being the oldest, I was the strongest. I handled it well.

[Simslover92]

I'm so sorry about your mom.

[dudeinohio]

Thank you.

[Simslover92]

You're welcome.

[MontBlanc]

True.

But I think what makes it even harder isn’t just holding it in, it’s doing it while still showing up for life like nothing’s wrong.

For me, it’s not about pretending forever, it’s more about timing, knowing when to stay strong, and when it’s finally safe to let it all fall apart.

[aaron13547]

False. I think its harder to let myself fall apart and cry. I've gotten really good at turning bad emotions into a positive purposes the cost is just to sacrifice myself...

For me its so much more difficult to say "fuck it" and just let things fall apart. I try and fix everything, i would hold together water if I could. But, Sometimes water just has to flow. (That was a crappy metaphor, lol)

Letting go is the hardest thing in life for me.

[Tomislav7]

@aaron13547 kill yourself and let the water flow then

[NathanDavis]

I would have to disagree... since it was quite easy for me

which, made things worse...

[Smashingdoozy]

I would argue there is much harder things in life. But nonetheless it is hard to pretend everything is okay

[Nikki1989]

Hard for some, easy for others. That depends on whether you are made of tough stuff, which is most likely determined by your upbringing.

[RandomGirl42]

I don't believe life is supposed to be hard for us so why not cry when we need to? It's always hard if we're not being true to ourselves.

[Abbycado]

Could be a lot of people. I’d have a hard time.

[Jennz6]

@Abbycado
Smile 😊

[glennos89]

It is kinda hard to put a smile on your face while feeling miserable on the inside. But I got used to it I guess

[exitseven]

it is hard to do but certainly not the hardest thing to do.

[Iron_Man]

I’m not good at putting on a different face when I’m upset my emotions come out and my disappointment shows

[FreyaRed]

Smile on face?

[Agape93]

Nope. I mask all the time

[Jennz6]

That’s true

@Simslover92

[Jerre]

I totally agree with you!

[Jerre]

@Simslover92 Thank you for the Like

[Anonymous]
