it takes less muscles to have a happy face than a sad one

That's what others want to see, but if it's not genuine, you can tell. Everyone's allowed to be sad occasionally.

I put on a happy face. No one is interested in your problems or why you are sad, so why make them uncomfortable by showing your real feelings? Better to keep it to yourself and just put on the mask.

There is no need to put on a sad face. In the last two months I have had a stroke, lost most of my vision causing me to be unable to work so I lost my employment as a school bus driver forcing me into retirement. Why be sad, there is nothing I can do about it today so just as well be happy and go on with my life. No, I can't see very well and I cannot drive at night but I can still praise the Lord Jesus Christ and enjoy life.

Linda Joy Very admirable attitude! Especially after a stroke which usually causes bouts of depression. I'm praying for you and hopeful that what you lost through your stroke will be restored by God -
Army Veteran I know where you're coming from. I never had a stroke, but I was involved in a trucking accident in 1992 that left me blind in one eye. It didn't end my career entirely - I was still able to drive cargo vans delivering expedited freight - up until November of 2014 when the company I worked for started demanding all of its drivers to get a medical card (despite the fact that legally, I didn't need one for the classification of vehicles I drove). This forced me into retirement and after watching my savings dwindle to nothing, several eviction notices, and two months behind on my car payment, I suffered heart failure from the stress of possibly living on the street. I've had to change my lifestyle drastically over the last 30 years, but I'm making it okay. Hang in there - you have my support.

I put on a happy face... I keep it in a jar by the bed. I also have the body of a 24 year old. That, however, is in the deep freezer.

Its better to find out why you're sad and fix it. If you can't do that, think of happier times in the past and make plans to do something that will make you happier in the future. Choose to not think about the things that make you sad, and when those thoughts creep in - and they will - immediately think of happier things and don't allow the sad thoughts to stay. You can't help what thoughts pop into your mind, but you can choose which ones you allow to stay.

I,m prone to sadness, and cannot put on what I do not feel. Sometimes think I,m bipolar, but no one else sees it,, so. I guess I have a plethora of masks I choose from.. mask being the key word..

If you have bipolar disorder you don't have to suffer through it. There are medications that can help you. Please see a mental health professional.
