It's much easier to wear your pain on the outside...

E.l. James
About This Quote

To show our pain, we often wear it on the outside, as a message to those around us. This is a mistake because it means that other people have to wear the pain as well. It becomes a burden that should not be thrust upon other people. The idea of wearing pain on the outside is a negative one because it only serves to highlight our problems and bring down those around us. It’s much easier to wear your pain on the inside where others can’t see it and it doesn’t hurt anyone else.
