Faking expression can be exhausting!

I tend to keep to myself and be rather stoic. However, it's not the most fun of things after a while. So I have been quite the actor for the past few weeks. It's actually kind of fun, though it does come to a price...it's LITERALLY exhausting. Especially, having to raise my voice (it's low-ish, apparently).

Some day I'll have a full-fledged personality without it having to take a toll on my half-living corpse!

Hey but I imagine people didn't complain about you talking TOO much or at inappropriate times, right? :P:

If you keep on acting like you are excited and engaged by stuff that happens around you, perhaps faking it will cause you to start making it. I was not always comfortable being the loudmouth, and in my experience, practice made perfect for me. "Developing a personality" will eventually become second-nature as you develop habits to make that behavior easier to do. But as a talkative person myself, I can assure you that there are definite pro's to shutting up sometimes. ;):

I take offense to stoicism being equated to lacking a personality. Not everything has to be worn on one's face.

If it doesn't work out for you, then don't push yourself to do it. Unless it's for your job, or something.

life is but a walking shadow, a poor player.

i like this because it implicates how we're actors, that we always put on a show in front of others. so we're never truly ourselves

B-b-but whatever you are is what you are. Something you keep inside of you is true, but how you act is true too.
