suffer in silence

how many of us are suffering in silence?

there is a scene in season 4 of “the crown” that stuck with me.
it is the final scene where princess diana is standing amongst the royal family for a photo.
she realizes she’s on the outside of that family and had to fake a smile that wasn’t genuine.
