When you close yourself off from the world you tend to hide it behind a fake smile, pretending to be okay. So after the storm passes, you've grown so used to being walled up inside of yourself you don't realize you're still doing that same thing. Even when nobody is around, continue to do it. Slowly but surely you are pushing the people closest to you away, slowly losing it all, and you can't do nothing, because you're so caught up in your own defenses.
