We’ve all done it. We walked into the room and someone asked us, “How are you doing?” Without hesitation we responded, “I’m good. How are you?” Sometimes this may be a truthful answer but often we give the same response even when it is a lie. I understand not wanting to engage with every person and tell them your life story. However, there needs to be someone or several people in our lives with whom we can engage in an honest and transparent way.
None of us can make it through life without the aid of others and we were never intended to attempt such a feat. We feel the need to pretend to be happy because we fear our sadness not being taken seriously. This leads to the saddest of all states – where we are broken on the inside and still have to go through the charade of seeming happy on the outside. Find a group of people, who you know, love and trust that won’t judge your sadness and who can bolster you to true happiness.
