1.) everyone has met Richard Cory. Someone who suffers inner turmoil but appears outwardly calm . how did you deal with such kind of personality?

I can somehow relate to the kind of personality that Richard Cory has. I myself is somehow like him, the attitude or the behavior I show the public is the opposite of who I am when I’m already alone. Many described me as someone who is strict just because I’m always serious and prefers to be alone very often, but nobody knows what I am when I’m not on their sight. I believe Richard Cory is suffering from sadness, he wants to seek help from people but don’t know how. I can say so because I already experienced that. there are times that I feel so sad and I want to consult people especially my friends about it, I want to tell them why I felt that way but I cant for I am shy, that’s why ending my life is the only solution I see to escape my problem. I’m always thinking of it but has never tried to do it. The only thing that I can Do to deal with this kind of personality is to be strong and try to open myself to people. Its going to be hard specially to someone like me who is not expressive but I have to in order for me to survived.
