There are many times people wear masks. Everyone has worn a mask at some point in their life, and it could be for any number of reasons. Often, people wear masks to hide things that they do not want others to see. The most common time to wear a mask is when a person is upset and does not want others to see that they are upset. They will cover their true feelings and hide themselves by seeming to be happy when they are really not. Some people are extremely good at hiding their true feelings. Those are people that can seem incredibly happy no matter what. Some people never figure out that those people are not how they seem to be, and most often only the best friends of those people can ever tell that anything is wrong. There are also a number of people that can not hide anything from anyone. Everyone is able to tell that they are upset, and even though they may think that they are deceiving people by putting on a happy face, but many people are able to see through it. They really are not hiding their feelings from anyone, and though everyone can tell, most people will not do anything about it. Sometimes it is very bad that people do not do anything, because those people that are upset could have a psychological disorder that could be fixed if only someone would do something for the person that is upset. I have worn masks before to try to hide my true feelings, and though it always ends up well, I am still very upset at the time. I am a person that is not good at hiding my true feelings, but as I have gotten older I have either gotten mildly better or people just ignore it more and leave me alone. Many things can happen, good or bad, when people wear masks, and it is often hard to stop wearing masks once a person has started.
