Eden keeps her feelings hidden from those around her from "summary" of The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith
Eden is a master at keeping her emotions under lock and key, a skill she has honed to perfection over the years. She doesn't let anyone see the turmoil brewing inside her, the anger and pain that threaten to consume her every waking moment. Behind her carefully constructed facade lies a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, but she refuses to let anyone in on the chaos that reigns within her. She has become an expert at wearing a mask, presenting a calm and collected exterior to the world while her insides churn with a storm of feelings. She knows that showing vulnerability is a sign of weakness, and weakness is something she simply cannot afford to display. So she buries her true self beneath layers of false bravado, never letting anyone get a glimpse of the real Eden that lies hidden beneath the surface. Even those closest to her are kept at arm's length, unaware of the battles she fights within herself on a daily basis. She has become a master of deception, adept at deflecting any attempts to penetrate the walls she has built around her heart. No one suspects the depth of her pain, the extent of her suffering, because she has become so skilled at concealing it from the world. But as she struggles to keep her emotions in check, the cracks in her carefully constructed facade begin to show. The pressure of keeping up the act becomes almost unbearable, and she finds herself teetering on the edge of a precipice, unsure of whether she can continue to keep her true feelings hidden from those around her. The burden of carrying her secrets alone weighs heavily on her, threatening to crush her beneath its weight. Despite her best efforts to maintain the illusion of strength, Eden is slowly being consumed by the darkness that lurks within her. She knows that she can't keep her feelings buried forever, that eventually they will rise to the surface and demand to be heard. But for now, she continues to play the role of the stoic survivor, keeping her true self hidden from the prying eyes of the world.
