in high school I dated a Mormon girl and it was so bizarre. she only ever showed ONE emotion, happiness. that's it, and even then you could tell it was genuine. Like I remember she absolutely bombed an exam and it was clear she was upset about it to point she wanted to cry but she couldn't. she refused or simply didn't know how to show that emotion.
Also yeah she drank like a fish when her Mormon friends weren't around.
The Mormon girl I dated in high school also tried to always appear in a good mood, put together, etc... but she really struggled, and had a lot of emotional outbursts while we were together. She even hinted at suicidal thoughts once or twice. Years later I realized she was probably dealing with some serious mental health issues. But the reason for the happy face is simple: they're taught that if you're unhappy that's because of a lack of faith in the holy spirit. If you are truly faithful then it will always fill you up with happiness and positive energy. So letting other people see that you're sad or upset about something will make them question your faith and dedication to the church. Even admitting it to themselves makes them ashamed, like they've committed a terrible sin. It's really sick.
This has to be one of the most soul-crushingly evil things I've ever heard. What a monstrously simple and devastatingly unhealthy thing to do to a person's brain.
It really is. It's maddening. But that's what cults do. I'm glad I'm out.
Have you heard the good word of our dark lord and master, Satan, from whom all human advancements, intoxicants, and good music originate?
