A person who hides their pain behind a smile is called an eccedentsiast.

An eccedentsiast is a person or someone who smiles but is hiding their pain behind their smile.

This is also known as smiling depression and someone who smiles all the time or a lot more than normal may be depressed.

Eccedentesiast means someone who puts on a fake smile.

In Latin, “ecce” means “look at” and “dente” means “teeth.”

So, literally, “Look at the teeth.” It could be read as looking at the surface, at the fake smile that hides what's really going on underneath.
