"But why would I choose to be so depressed when I'm alone and no one can see me?"
Habit.
I got so used to putting on a happy face that no one - even most of my family - had a clue I was depressed. Hubby was the only one that wasn't completely shocked.
The rest of the world saw the smiling, laughing bubbly me that I let them see. I'd done it for 30 years and was quite good at it. Even my therapist has a hard time getting past it - still.
