i experienced the same thing as the uke (about his family). i guess it really is a normal reaction to pretend you have everything under control.... fearing everyone's judgement. an adulterous father, a grieving mother... it's shameful, isnt it? so we try to do everything we can to do great in other aspects.
i do have the same issue as well, i pretend like my life is all good and i have everything under control. when deep inside, my thoughts are such a chaos. i stopped feeling happy for longer than i could remember.
