Hi, Mist
Good question. When I'm feeling low but still able to interact with "happy" people, I worry that talking about my mood will bring them down so they won't want to be around me. What I try to force myself to do is ask them questions about themselves, what they're doing and so on. People love to talk about themselves, especially when someone is really listening.
Sometimes I find out they're not as happy as I thought. Sometimes what they have to say is so appealing it brings me around. Other times it's neutral, but it gets me through the party or dinner or time together.
Take care,
Nibor
