Question

What if I'm using this to see if my friends really care and they don't, they just make jokes?

Community Answer

Either they know you're not really sad and that's why they're making jokes, or they're not very good friends.

Question

I'm actually sad and it's really concerning me. I've been losing lots of sleep for the past few weeks and have been crying a lot. What do I do? I don't want friends to worry.

Community Answer

Try talking to someone about it and try to smile. Maybe workout, because when you workout your body releases endorphins, which make you happier. Maybe you can spend more time with family and friends as well.

You can just sit and simply look sad without drawing attention to yourself. You can also try sobbing loudly.

Question

How can I apologize to a friend I've hurt over and over?

Community Answer

Pour your heart into it. Try some type of gesture, always defend them, and only say positive things. Make it very clear that you were in the wrong and it won't happen again.

In a play, my character sits in a classroom listening to a teacher teach. What gesture or body language can I use to show the actor sitting next to me that I am depressed?

You could sniffle a little bit, cover your eyes, and then try to quickly wipe away your tears.

Question

I want my friends to know I'm hurt. I want them to realize that it's mainly their fault I'm feeling this way. I already isolate myself, but they don't seem to care. What do I do?

Community Answer

Talk to them. It sounds like they have no idea that you're upset, so it would be best to discuss the issue with them calmly and reasonably.

I am doing a monologue about a girl moving away from her town. How do I maintain acting sad throughout the monologue?

With each sentence, pick a different expression. If you're crying during that monologue, remember to wipe your face and sniffle.

Question

What do sad people dress like?

Community Answer

It depends on the situation, but wearing all black is a good bet. That's what people wear to funerals.

How can I make my mum believe I'm upset?

Community Answer

Act irritated with her, be short with her, or just not talk to her at all. Don't take it too far, however. This could get you in trouble.

Isn't that faking sadness?

EMILY FRIESEN (Student)

Yes, that's the whole point. It’s for actors and people who need to fake sadness for one reason or another.
