I'm not real good at it Rosie. My face and my words almost always gives me away. Sometimes though, I will keep things to myself, especially if I know a friend is going through a really tough time and needs more of a shoulder.
I'm a total washout at pretending anything PeaPod. I don't have a "Poker Face". In fact whenever I played penny ante poker with friends/family way back in the long ago olden days and had a good hand they'd fold. No amount of trying to hide it from them worked. I think when others are suffering it's admirable to keep your problems to yourself. Vying for whose problems are worse is not my cuppa tea either. I would not make a good diplomat though. I think by now you know I always say what I think and I don't use euphemisms or fancy dancy words or sugar to make the medicine go down. It's just not me. I do well working alone in a back room where I don't have to interact with other people and be "nice" when I don't feel like it. It's funny but I'm a people person in some environments bigly and in other environments I'm not. Depends on the situation. I've got broad shoulders though. Seriously. So they're here if you need one. Thank you for your reply! :)
I think pretty good. I try to be in the moment and efficient and low-key upbeat because I have always been good at that. Not that I ever become that sad - my life is mostly happy but of course there are sad things in life that do happen to others that can affect us and sometimes they even happen to us. But mostly I have accepted that people are into their own lives and not interested in what I am feeling so I don't trouble them with it. Even my husband - sometimes I can talk with him about what I feel but a lot of the time I know he has things to do and it would not be appropriate.
