When Reality Steps In (New)

Actors and People who hide their feelings , they both pretend... Right.? Would you say it's the same person.? Well what if a person in sorrow struggles to go to school but when they are their they put on a huge smile and laugh, and what if an Actor plays a role of a guy who's always sad and down and truly not thankful for anything but then when he gets off stage he cracks jokes and claps for himself .? Still wonder if it's the same.?
