I also think that people who care about us _want_ to think that we're okay,

I know that's true and I also think I want to beleive I'm ok. This is something I do to myself more than to other people. Somehow I believe if they really knew how bad things were they'd have to leave or I'd suddenly be the center of attention and that makes me uncomfortable. But if I becpme the center of attention by making people laugh just long enough that they feel it's safe enough to look the other way again, then I can go back into hiding. Sounds confusing when I say it, and I know it is much more complex than my explanation acknowledges. Maybe it's just jibberish. I'm not even sure.
