My sister is like this, and she’s basically just constantly anxious about what she’s supposed to be doing and how people feel about her, so she forces herself to be talkative and energetic even though it exhausts her. It’s sad to know that behind her smile she’s just always stressed out about every little thing that she construes as someone maybe being mad at her. I’m glad that over the years I’ve been able to get her to be her real self around me, but I haven’t been able to get her to see a therapist yet.
I was the same. Figured out it’s all part of my neurodivergence, PTSD, and Rejection Dysphoria Syndrome. I still am the same, but I also used to be (its way better now though)
