you ever try and cover you're in a bad mood?

i met some really nice people couple of days ago...and i
like nice people :). currently i have so much shit on my
mind (the lowest point of my life), that i just couldn't
make myself to be in a good mood...normally i'd have fun,
and well even if i'd be in a bad mood i'd be able to look
like i have fun...but i couldn't even fake it this time -
this ever happened to any of you?
can you forget all the shit and act like the happiest
person, or at least not look too depressed? if yes, how do
you do it? :)

It might surprise you to know that I'm not always the happy
person I seem to be on this message board.

I have no problem admitting I'm in a bad mood. But I try not
to let it out on "innocent" people.

that wouldn't surprise ma actually...we're all human, and i
guess it's completly normal if you're not always happy...
what really bothers me is that those other nice people were
having fun, and well, i just couldn't fit in...even tho i'd
love to :(

you should meet me in real life, I'd rip your face off for
looking at me the wrong way when I am in a bad mood :P

tolst: the situation you describe used to happen to me quite
a bit and it is caused when you are evaluating life in
general because instead of just losing yourself in the
moment you stand there thinking "why am I standing here not
enjoying myself, i don't fit in" which makes you feel more
uncomfortable and it is just spirals then.

you always find the right thing to say...you should really
start doing this profesionally :)
btw, how did you overcome that? did you try and avoid
thinking that, or did you straighten your life up?

i have no problem letting people know that i'm not in a good
mood. i'm not gonna be hitler or anything towards them just
cause i'm in a bad mood tho, i'll be nice and hope they act
nice in return which increases the chance of me being in a
better mood later on. know what im saying?

yes, that's easy with someone you've known for a longer
time...but when you meet new people it's inconvenient, don't
you think so? i mean people often reemember the 1st time
they met...

Odd as it sounds the only way to overcome it is to forget
you where doing it in the first place. Small (or large)
amounts of alcohol can help if you drink, if not then just
make sure you keep going out regularly and you will start to
just enjoy things again without constantly trying to find a
reason for your exsistance :P

Often it is just a phase that most people go through and you
will probably snap out of it soon, just make sure you don't
let it get you down to much. :)

yeh but when they meet you again, you'll be in a totally
difffernent mood and they'll be like

"hey... where's Mr.Grumpypants? huh? where'd he go?" and
pinch you on the cheek.

man, that put im in a good mood right away...honestly, im
not just saying that...cuz when i think about it, you seem
to know exactly what im trying to say/going through here.

"just make sure you don't
let it get you down to much"

all this is releated to my work...there are much bigger
issues here, but they're all work related. anyway, it can't
go on like this for ever...when i sort all this shit out,
i'll definitely take your advice, coz it sounds like a
really reasonable one! thanks a lot!!

keyfumbler, i hope you're right there as well :)

presley and ceri, you never got to a point when you couldn't
even fake it? i definitely tried and look happy, but it
probably turned out even more stupid, so i tried to put as
little attention on me as possible...which is silly too, but
i just couldn't get into it...

Certainly, but a lot of people make no effort to conceal it
at all. Just because you're having a slightly off day
doesn't mean you should bring everyone around you down/act
like a moody git.

much of the time. but not at people at worrk orr with shop
keeperrs etc... no.

While it is possible to ask a mood, I think what Tolst is
going through is a lot deeper than that. You almost have a
surreal situation that, even when communicating with people,
you are listening to yourself thinking "what am I talking
about"...you get preoccupied in the way other people are
interpreting your words and actions. It's not really a case
of being in a bad mood, it is a case of not really feeling
in any sort of mood and wondering why.

a) that should have been "mask a mood"

also just to add on I bet you you reply these meetings and
stuff in your head repeatedly after they occur trying to
figure out where the fuck you went wrong??? You have to
stop doing that because you will always add your own
negative meaning to something that the other party/parties
involved will have taken as purely superficial.

Everything will straighten itself out in time.

Yes definately, close friends/family get it in the neck, but
I don't think I've ever snapped at shop keepers, bar tenders
etc. just because I've been in a bad mood.

this eventually...nothing more i could ask for , really :)

yes, im sure im making too big deal out of this...i'd just
like to avoid this situations in the future. i knew i was

good mood...it worked quite good for some time, but then
something went wrong, and i don't even know what it was...

yeah, replaying it in your mind is so horrible... can't stop
doing it with loads of things.

I think I'm always analysing/evaluating my own and others'
actions - its really annoying. Even when drunk I do it, but
its sort of tongue-in-cheek then.

I think I've become quite good at masking my mood and
holding back my aggression though, but it sort of makes me
feel nothingness, like no one really knows me. Even if i do
try to say how i feel, i can't put it to the right words,
and people misunderstand.

i don't have problems with my family...coz they know what
situation im in, and they're amazed im taking it so well as
it is...actually they're sometimes scared i'd go and do
something stupid...even though they know im not that kind of
person. and when im in a bad mood, i never snap at people, i
just try and hide it inside...

hehe it happens, just don't worry about it. :)

I actually found that concentrating on projecting a false
confidence rather than a good mood worked better because it
allows you to feel more in control and allows your natural
personality to come out.

Just keep putting yourself in the situations and you will
discover your own best way of dealing with them.

That's all I will say on the matter because my brain now
hurts from being sensible for 5 minutes.
