Hello @denmarkguy,

I agree that there's nothing wrong with being happy and showing it. I think you said it blunty that people don't express themselves properly, getting caught up with how they appear to others. Extreme in either direction is not the preferred choice here, and when you are hurting, it's okay to show it.

Unless it compromises your motives or something.

That's the sad and harsh truth; everyone has demons, and things that make them have a bad day, but it's only up to the person if they want to have a bad life because of it. I'm not shocked that happened, as much as what kind of internal struggle was so bad that it couldn't be helped by others, or at least be talked about in the open.

Eyes are literally windows, no matter what you show, the inside at some point will seep out, if not your sanity.

Cheers!
