Abstract
This article explores the “Always Happy Appearance” syndrome, which is a modern manifestation of false positivity. The aim of this study is to examine how constant emotional positivity affects mental health, emotional exhaustion, and inner conflict among individuals who feel pressured to appear happy. The pressure to maintain a "constantly positive" image on social media leads to a loss of authenticity and increased psychological stress caused by continuous self-comparison with others. The findings of the study show that individuals who suppress genuine emotions experience emotional tension, lower stress tolerance, and self-dissatisfaction.
