Do your friends know when you're feeling sad?

I used to have a best friend that was always good at knowing when I was feeling sad or having a bad day. She could just pick these things up. Not sure how. I am pretty good at hiding my feelings so as not to burden others. But she had a gift. And, she always knew the right thing to say to make things better. Do your friends know when you are feeling sad or having a bad day?

Yes, they know. How do they know? It's no mystery. I just tell them. But I don't really get sad while I'm in school. Most of the time, I'm sad by the time I get home, I cry it out if that's the situation, and I feel better the next day. I don't like being sad in front of other people because they can't help, and their attempts to help normally make things worse! Not that it is their fault, because I am horrible at making people feel better, too. I don't really know what else to do except offer solutions to problems.

I don't like crying in front of strangers, either.

Husbands are always good about knowing when the wife is in a sad mood. At least good husbands are!

Hello beautyqueen, my friends doesn't know how I feel most of the time, because just like you I am also good at hiding my real feelings. I can pretend there's nothing wrong with me even though inside I am depress. I can laugh and smile when I am with them, but when I am alone that's the moment I would cry. But you know what... I have a Best friend that no matter how I hide my real feelings from Him, He could still know what's inside my heart. and you know who He was. He is Jesus, my best friend, my God and my Savior. He always knew what I'm keeping inside.

Most of my friends don't. My best friend usually does though. We're really close. I think you need at least one person, friend or family member, you can tell when you're feeling sad. If I don't I get really depressed.
