a lionel
A Lionel is a guy who acts like he’s fine, but inside he’s screaming. He’ll help you out like a champ, but when it’s his turn, he’ll say 'I’m good' and then proceed to break down in the shower.
My friend Lionel said he was fine, but I saw him crying in the bathroom after his breakup.
My uncle Lionel told me he was okay, but his face said otherwise.
My cousin Lionel said he didn’t need help, but I found him crying in the closet.
