When Adulting Feels Like Wearing a Mask You Can’t Take Off

Some days, adulting feels like quietly falling apart while pretending everything’s fine. I’m so tired, I can’t keep this fake smile on anymore. It hurts when people just put me down or avoid me because I’m worn out. I hate feeling trapped, unable to express what’s really going on. If I don’t pretend to fit in, I’m treated like an outsider—even by friends and family. I’ve never felt so alone and fed up. Does anyone else feel this way? Share your thoughts below.
