What does Externally really mean?

Alright, so "externally" basically means on the outside, or from the outside. It's the opposite of "internally," which means on the inside. So, for example, if something happens externally, it happens from the outside in, and if something happens internally, it happens from the inside out.

Let me give you an example to help you understand it better. If you're feeling really happy on the inside, but you're crying on the outside, that means your external emotions don't match your internal feelings. Or, if you see a building and its external walls are painted blue, it means the outside of the building is blue.

So when we talk about something happening externally, we're talking about what's happening on the outside, or where it comes from, and not what's happening within. Does that make sense?
