All the time when I was younger. I was always the dear abby for everyone until I burned out. I moved across town & left no forwarding address.Then the sweetest thing happened.
After several months of depression I was in the kitchen one day & a card slid under my door. There were a bunch of good things written by several friends but one that touched me deepest read; "I always turned to you for answers never once thinking in my pain that you might have a need too. You always seemed so happy & to have all the answers. I'm so sorry for not reaching out. Please forgive me for never telling you how much you mean to me." I opened the door to go next door & see if anyone saw who had delivered it & to my total surprise there were about 10-15 people standing on my back porch waiting for me to look out so they could surprise me.
After spending time together talking I realized how guarded I had been. Often I was smiling to keep from crying. Keeping busy helping & being kind to others had kept me from dealing with my own pain. But I realized that day you don't have to always be smiling or on the giving end to have friends. People want to help but sometimes we give off the idea we're beyond any problems or pain. But you never realize how much others care about you unless you give them a chance.
Being above it all can be lonely even in a crowd. The show of love was pretty dramatic but one I'll treasure until the day I die. I still probably smile too much but it's more real now when I do & I let others know when I'm hurting. No one's a mind reader.

I stayed sick for 7-long years with Ulcerative Colitis, and people were always telling me,Wow you've got U.C. That's hard to believe.
Now I have herniated disc in my back 6, and 3 in the neck and I had a guy the other day tell me- You have the brightest smile, I have never seen you when you are not smiling, You remind me of Joel Olstein.
I put on alot-because I don't want to bring other people down.

The only one thing could be considered when we have felt pain even we are having a smile on our face that is We are trying to do what we aren't supported to do.....Sometime smile and pain have a same meaning. The best way to overcome it........ is just take it easy. Running, swimming or singing

Yes, it happens to me quite often. Not so much in the last year because i have been learning not to hide my feelings but yes, people assume all kinds of things.

Yup...I have had people ask me why I am always happy? They assume that nothing bad has ever happened to me. I choose to be happy..and that the way it is..Life is too short not to be..Things also seem to go better..when you are happy...The glass is half full!
