Hello Bob, people believe that once they start going to uni their life will become much better, in some ways, yes, but in other ways, no, simply because of their desire to be able to complete the essays, do the exams or continue from one semester to the next is actually difficult and not as easy as you once thought it would be.
A mask can temporarily cover how you feel, show your expressions when talking to someone, but underneath it's impossible to even hide how you actually feel, being with your friends only makes you want to be by yourself, how long can you pretend to smile, when deep down all you feel is pain.
In your previous posts you've just wanted to be alone, and please correct me if I'm wrong, and if I can be so bold to say, that doing uni and socialising with your mates maybe good, it won't be if you only want to spend time by yourself, although I understand exactly how you feel, so don't push yourself just yet, to do what you don't want to do, because it won't enable you to once again feel any better.
There's so much hidden expression that certainly needs help with.
Hope you can get back to us.
Geoff.
