I think you made a common mistake. See, you don’t just bury the darkness, you need to also disossiate from reality so that even if you internally suffer accidental contact with the void, it doesn’t make it all the way out to become a physical expression.
This way, you can disconnect your outward behaviour from you active thinking, so that even if you mentally implode, no-one can tell!
Neat, huh?
(This is horrible advice, do not attempt. Never hide this level of anguish with loved ones. Potentially useful in professional settings, but still harmful.)
It’s still so jarring every time though

Laughs hysterically in harmful coping mechanisms
I don’t know what you’re referring to 😊
