Is "covering up" your negative symptoms pointless?

I try to act upbeat for my nieces. So I’ll continue to do that I guess. But for how long :thinking:

However from now on I’m going to give up trying to fight my negative symptoms. If I don’t want to do something I’m just not going to do it.

Pushing myself didn’t work out and I’ve tried.

I push myself. I figure if I don’t I’ll just be more miserable anyways. Or just as miserable because I’m not doing anything.

I don’t know. I think never pushing through would just lead to it being harder to push through later, if that makes sense.

I dont believe in fake it till you make it. Much more comfortable being myself.

I find that i act like everything’s okay when i’m around other people. It can be very tiring and some days it just isn’t worth it.

I try to act upbeat around family as well. It’s tough, but I’d hate for them to see me normally, when the negatives take over
