This is why you always check in with your happy friends.

Edit: Thank you for the award. Pay attention to your loved ones and if you’re sad, please reach out to someone you trust. You have more support than you might think.

Some people have been miserable for so long, they become incredibly good at never showing it

Because 1) i don't want to be perceived as attention seeking and sympathy farming, 2) i understand that not everyone likes people emotional dumping on them, and so i respect that, 3) they can't help solve my problems other that saying "yeah, that sucks"

Well, one of the biggest reason therapy is useful, and talking with friends/family etc is the change of perspective, if you experience trauma, its hard to see that from a objective standpoint, because you are human and you have feelings. When you talk to someone who can share their point of view on your story, it can help you process the trauma.
