Possibly [[Truth in Television]] for the more extreme cases. If you're fighting for your life, you don't have time to think about how awful it is. Except for the times when you crack and go shellshocked, maybe.

▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Minorin in ''[[Toradora!]]'' lives by the principle that she shall always be happy, no matter what happens. Although she doesn't have any actual tragedy in her past, this still leaves her feeling a bit... hollow, at times. She might even fool herself, but she isn't fooling the viewers.
Line 97:
 
== Film ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)|Harry Potter]] and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', we see {{spoiler|Sirius die}}, in a super dramatic, [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerking]], gut-wrenching scene. Then we finish the battle. Then we see Harry and Dumbledore have less than a five minute conversation. Harry barely looks upset. And that's pretty much it for the rest of the series. In [[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (novel)|the book]] however, Harry trashes Dumbledore's office and yells at him. He then spends most of the remainder of the year in solitude, until Luna comforts him.
** In ''Goblet of Fire'', {{spoiler|Barty Crouch}} is found dead in the woods and... no one cares. It's literally never mentioned again. Not that his death should inspire all that much angst, but it's a fairly important plot point in the book, and besides, a Ministry official ''showed up dead in the forest.'' Someone want to... look into that?
* In ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (film)|The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy]]'', Arthur Dent watches as everyone he ever loved or cared about (except Trillian) plus the entire human race destroyed right before his eyes. He is quite literally half of the entire existing human race, with absolutely no hope (at that point) of rebuilding the species or ever going home. All over a bureaucratic snafu by an uncaring galactic government, and he receives absolutely no sympathy from other characters for the genocide of his race. And this is played ''for laughs''. The story rolls on, Dent doesn't seem too broken up about it (it might not have even happened as far as Trillian is concerned) and its all [[Handwaved]] at the end.
* ''[[The Horror of Party Beach]]''. Less than a month after his girlfriend gets killed by a monster, Hank returns to the very beach she died on and comments to a band member, "Pretty dead tonight, huh, Ron?" They play a spritely tune to get the moods up.
* This was the gimmick of [[Pollyanna]].
