That's masking.

Not if you practice a few and cycle them all the time. How does that require any kind of effort once you practiced a bit?

"This is an example of masking."

"Not it's not, because if you practice masking, the masking becomes easy."

		Masking is (supposed to denote) maladaptive strategy. Learning social and other skills is not the same thing. Hopelessness is being learnt, too.

Not if it is accurate to your actual day/emotions. Masking is a form of deception.
