Success Happy

Why is it that people put on a happy face in public, but let all their true feelings out when they get home?

Or is this just me? Society seems to make it out to be so you feel you have to be "perfect" and be nice to everyone...

1. strictly political
2. It 's called two faced, hardly anyone will be as they feel. Some kind of etiquette thing.. they think it is the proper thing to do, yet does this not cause ... stress ? anger ? and a list of other ailments.? I AM
3. Because home is our safe zone, and people generally are dishonest with one another.
4. It is only proper to not allow the rest of the world to wtiness your bitterness. You may ruin an innocent bystanders day..and what..if I may ask..would that solve?
5. Usually because we're taught that being polite to others is the right thing to do. So we pretend to be happy and fine around others so they won't see what we're really feeling. But just think if everyone around you acted how they really felt, wouldn't it be strange? It also affects the mood of the area. Just think, what's the mood in a room full of people who are happy? Or a room full of people who are depressed?
6. Cause they want people in puplix to think they're a unhappy person. Duh. Do you want to see someone in Puplix crying or frowning.? I sure don't. Does that answer your question?
7. Not everyone, I have to be true to my feelings, I feel we have a whole spectrum of feeling and you aren't really living if you don't allow yourself to experience them all. I don't want to be and am not up all the time. It is difficult though as people do have a painted smile if you respond with nutrality, if that is what you are feeling them people get uncomfortable. I suppose that is what they mean by the game of life.
8. While there are some people who do put on polite "social masks" I find there is the other extreme. Seeing people when they are in fits of road rage or over-reacting to situations in public is just as upsetting. It seems there is a balance and some people just can't strike it. I think we tend to keep our real feelings hidden except for those close to us. It's where we feel safe in letting our true selves show. Maybe it's because we know that those that know us and love us accept us for who we are with our faults and all.
9. People that put on a happy face in public then let out their true feelings out at home are living for people's approval and that is harder than just being the person they were created to be. Too bad society is all about comparing. Who is to say what is perfect anyway. We need to stop comparing and enjoy our individuality so we can appreciate others.
