We live in a world obsessed with taking everything at face value.
If you sleep all day, they call you lazy. If you laugh at every stupid thing, they think you are happy. If you spend your life supporting everyone else, they assume youâve got it all figured out.
But human behaviour doesnât work in a straight line. These eight points explore what could actually be happening beneath the surface when you are dealing with things you wonât speak out loud.
What most people completely misread could be a shield. Frequent aggression could be internal pain. Constant lying could be hiding deep-seated insecurity. Even the adult desperately trying to stand out might still be seeking the attention and affection they missed growing up.
When you stop looking at the mask, the illusions fade. You realise easy tears arenât necessarily weakness, and staying quiet in the room can mean you know the actual value of your words.
Alitaâs contribution was her need for love and affection. đđŠ
