I'm reading a book about a high profile woman who became ill with a joint disease that she didn't want anyone apart from family to know about as it would impact on her business. She did keep it secret for a long time and she described how surprisingly easy that was. She realised that most people are so focussed on themselves, especially in show business, that they barely notice anything about anyone else. As long as a person smiles, looks ok, it goes unnoticed. It's easy to act a part if you need.
How much we hide from others. Have you or do you know of someone who hid a serious illness from everyone? It does happen, although it seems in this day and age high profile people talk openly about their problems. Yet every now and then we hear of someone suddenly gone and nobody guessed they had major problems right in front of them.
