Used to fake being fine at family dinners but now I just say I'm tired

I stopped pretending everything's great around year three of my contracting business when I realized nobody actually cares if I'm struggling. Has anyone else just dropped the act and noticed people respect you more for it?

Definitely dropped the act and honestly, people seem way more chill with me now.

Hits different when you realize faking it just makes you more exhausted for no reason.

Faking it" thing, yeah my friend finally crashed after years of that.
