Why?

Thank you! Hm,my family members are pretty open about the way they feel but I'm not sure if that's the way they appear to others . Maybe they put on a mask as well. We act differently when we're around close people so I might be seeing just one side of them. But I know people who are going through hard times and yet they think that by showing their true feelings, they will give other people something to talk about. I admit that there are people who do that-who are happy when they see other people are miserable , but I think that hiding your feelings is very damaging. What about you? Do you have family members or friends who do that?
