Looking Good Vs Feeling Good
Ladies especially, have you found that if you wear makeup, folks you interact with think you are feeling good? If I actually "do" something with my hair and put on some makeup, even if I feel like crap, people think I'm fine. It makes it tough to "fake it till you make it" without those around me thinking I'm lying about my health.
I guess it's just a little peeve. I'm not looking for sympathy, but, I don't want the people around me to think I'm a hypochondriac.
