How do you stop pretending that you're happy all the time? Because I really just can't.

This is just an opinion, but it seems that the American culture's perogitive is to be HAPPYHAPPPYHAPPYHAPPY!! Well. I say, be yourself. If that means you don't smile constantly, or agree to everyone's whims all the time, then so be it. It will not be then end of the universe. Time will not unravel. Atoms will not explode. Be happy with yourself, be proud of who you are. However, I don't think it would be wise to go around being rude or vishous to others just because you are not happy. But, maybe you can find a medium in which you are happy and that level of happiness is just not what others want of you. Be happy on your own (in your own way). ;)

First off, it's normal to not feel happy. I myself have had those time periods where it feels like things just arent right, and you wonder why you're always putting on a happy face for everyone else when you truely arent happy.

We naturally do this because we don't want everyone to know our problems, and it feels like when we feel upset or look sad in public we become vulnerable to the world and people begin to question us and make us feel uncomfortable.

If you're upset, be upset. Close your bedroom door, listen to some music that helps you figure out what your feeling that way. Let out some anger by working out, or cry if you want to! Its okay! If you're not into being alone, find a friend or a parent to talk to. It's okay to feel the way your feeling.

Sometimes pretending to happy is part of the process to becoming happy. Just don't be afraid to be upset. When you have a quiet moment to yourself, just let it all out :)
