So many people are good at hiding their misery. But there are some telltale signs of how they actually feel.

One of my friends 45 year old Becca always had a sunny disposition. But I know her better than that. And being able to read people well, I know she is struggling with depression.

However, to see her at the holiday party recently, you would never know how unhappy she is. A little background: in the past year, her husband cheated on her and then left her for a much younger woman, leaving her a single mom of two kids. She had previously been a stay-at-home mom and now had to get a full-time job. She also gained a lot of weight during the end of their marriage and is having no luck on dating apps.

But she is still suffering from toxic positivity- and a bad case of it! If you asked her, nothing was wrong and everything was wonderful. Her parents taught her to always keep a stiff upper lip and never reveal her true feelings.

THEY PUT OTHERS DOWN
