As a result I often mask through pain and discomfort, and respond with smiles and laughter when I feel exactly the opposite. Today I talk about how those responses have become almost automatic sometimes now and how when I get nervous or upset I find myself automatically smiling and laughing even when I don’t feel happy at all.
