We just don't want to lose face. 3. Staying quiet doesn't mean you've got nothing to say.
It means you don't want or fear people's reactions to hearing your thoughts. 4. What most people assume are the happiest events, graduating, getting married, a new job, often lead to depression. This is because we can build up massive expectations of key events. When reality does not meet expectation, we can plummet down. Does the expression 'Is this it?' ring a bell? That's a taster. For more, start a B.A. in Psychology.
