Reading people in hard times: what's really behind the mean face, sentence 4

People hide hard times in many ways: "I'm fine" with red eyes, "I don't care!" with a slammed door, "Whatever" with a stomach ache, laughing a lot while not eating lunch; the words say one thing, and the face, the habits and the changes say another.

Who acts: People, Kyle, words, stomach ache, face · What happens: hide, be, not care, slam, laugh, not eat · To what, where: many ways, lot, lunch, one thing, another · Speech: someone speaks here
