My fake smile is very weak and my minimal laughter is insincere. My ability to carry a conversation has become virtually zero.

Facts. I try to keep it light and limit my social interaction to near 0... I've always had a terrible fake smile... I can however pretend better when I'm drunk so most occasions where I have to interact I get functionally drunk
I am definitely not the type of person who can hide feelings well. You WILL know if im happy, mad, sad etc.
I guess its kinda good? You're not lying or pretending..

I don't really hide my emotions, if something annoys me I'll probably mention it. I do conceal my existential dread and mental state though.
Gotten to the point where I automatically smile if the cues are there. During work thoughts are raging but the body is on auto pilot. Basically I dont make people worry

Very hard for me. I'm learning though
Nope I cant fake it anymore. I used to be able to. At my old job I constantly had to wear a fake smile and when people asked how I was doing I really wanted to say "terrible how about you"
I'm a chameleon with a poker face. Keep up appearances and no one bothers me.

I used to be able to. Not anymore. Being able to fake it is crucial to being able to survive out there--unless you're gorgeous or otherwise very desirable.

I think I can if I put all my effort to it but it's getting harder every time.

In former times I used to but now I can't hide it anymore
No. My face reflects how I feel. Sometimes I had to hide that I am angry so people don't think I get upset by the wrong reasons.

I'm good in suppressing my feelings as I don't want pple to worry about me. But it hurts inside and no one can tell.

Smiling so that I don't annoy anyone with my pain is my entire life.

It depends on who im with. With my class mates and friends i think i can fake very well. But if were talking people who know me, my pain and my situation, i cant. They look right through it.

I'm quite the opposite - my fake smile i wear so often that sometimes it almost feels real. I can laugh a lot, smile, but on the inside I would always love to put a bullet through my brainstem. In a way I don't like how good I am at faking it - sometimes I wish I wasn't able to fake it and that people I know irl would ask me if I'm doing ok.
But that's just a pipe dream - I don't have any friends who care about me. I'm really just a background figure.

Yep. I'm everyone else's rock but where's everyone when I need them? Gone.

Me too. Whole life. Like one of those characters in a movie whose body you see as a hulking thing waaaaaaay in the background. No lines. No interactions. No significance.

i hate faking smiles and i never did it. even in family pictures the whole group was smiling except me. everyone could tell there was something not quite right with me. but then a few years ago i got so sick and tired of sticking out i started faking a smile in pictures just to fit in. but now i hate taking pictures even more.

I don't really feel emotions anymore. I can fake any if required, which they are at work and when I see my family.

No, I don't fake it. That would require too much energy that I just don't have.
depends on the day. some days i am so depressed and weak i can't even force half a smile but most days i am convincing but i think thats because the fake smile is the ones everyone has gotten to know so its my go to. i used to be able to fake it all day everyday but now i only do it when i absolutely have to because its too tiring
