Many a time we have fooled ourselves by lying about how we feel. It is often easier to lie than show how you really feel. Often this has led to instability and self-distraction. Lying to yourself makes life unbearable, since one has to have a double identity.
We often get stuck in toxic relationships and convince ourselves that all is well, and that people can’t really see you’re one’s thoughts. This has led to severe depression to many people as they are not living how they are feeling. They suppress their true feeling, lying to themselves than to the world. People don’t really care what you feel, but they take what you give them, what you show them. In the end you are left with bruises of internal pain and confusion.
We find ourselves unhappy, but wearing this happy mask, so not to bother the world. It is not healthy, because inside one is slowly dying and no amount of laughter can make them feel better.
I found this interesting quote:
"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love."
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The Brothers Karamazov)
