A lot of times in life, we are required to put on a smile no matter what happened, and to live on life as if its a bed of roses. Its not escaping reality, its not being fake. Its just that seeming happy has more benefits than showing out the sadness.
1. Looking happy attracts happy ppl
Nobody likes being around emo people, and isolating urself away from the group doesn't make things easier for u too. Why not just put on a fake smile, and attract those with real smile and get infected by them? Happiness is contagious. Being around happy people long enough will make u genuinely happy too. So what if u had a fake smile at the start, so what if this happiness is temporary, and will vanish into thin air once u left the group. Its still better than nothing. No one stays happy forever, constantly. The goal is to be happy as often as you can.
2. U can avoid questions that u urself don't want to face.
Its not escaping reality, its taking a step back, and face it when u are strong enough. If there's something u can do about it now, I'm sure it would already have been done. Since there is nothing to do about it, why not put it at the back of ur mind, and put on that smile to strive for as many happy hours as possible?
The reality we feel is determine solely by our brain, and the key is to control the brain to do the right things at the right time. Being about to flash a smile whenever needed in which ever deep shit u are in is a quality too, and its not an easy quality to obtain, which is why it will be valuable.
"If you lie to yourself long enough, you can even fool yourself."
