Discussion Why is it easier to be sad?

And is there a trick to having a more positive outlook?

 

I think about outliving my enemies and dancing on their graves secretly in the middle of the night cause you can’t do it in the day without getting caught it makes me feel happy

 

It might just be a reaction to the world around you. If there is something bothering you in life, then sadness might just be a reaction to it.

 

Ordinary humans can't stay happy all the time, only the people with loose screws can. It's the rarity of such emotion that makes it precious.

 

Because happy people don't spend money on products to make their emptiness go away and we live in a capitalistic society.

 

Stubbornness. Humans are creatures of habit. You just have to realize when you're being negative and then refuse to continue to be negative. If you can continue to do that it will eventually become habitual.

 

*puffs up cheeks* *slowly exhales* I don’t know. Gotta… gotta trick myself into thinking more positively…

 

Pain is inevitable, suffering is not.
Your reaction to head events is what you control.

 

This will make you happy

 

That wouldn't make me happy but it made me laugh.

I find identifying the reaction to the world really hard. Most of the time, I'd feel nothing is wrong at all.

More than being rare, I feel like it's more underappreciated and less memorable than sadness.

So they can't become happy because they couldn't spend enough?

It's so hard to realize you're being negative. I'll keep that in mind.

Yah, tricking ourselves seems the easiest way sk far...

You make me happy xD
Your random photos are mostly aesthetically pleasing.

 

Or you've just come to accept some as normal that others wouldn't?? Who knows, sometimes just changing everything about how your life is going to lead to unexpected changes in your mental state.

 

Don't know, although, there was an episode in the Gumball cartoon about a sort of a similar topic, solution was that you need to not overthink stuff or "shut down" your brain then you will be able to have fun, at least, Anais did XD

 

...............I wonder...........i want to know the answer too..........

 

That's actually one of my main problems since people around me worries about certain things I don't have a particular opinion about.
It's like watching people argue whether the chicken or egg came first.

In my personal experience, shutting down is no good haha

The answer is within yourself, just wait for the comment that would resonate with you haha.

 

then just let them to their own devices and go do something else??

 

That's the current MO, but I'm wondering if there were, i dunno, better paths?

 

even if there were, unless you can go back and choose again, wondering won't help you were you are now. You'd be better of thinking about what you want with yourself right now

 

I'd keep that in mind.

 

This is the secret to happiness two stormys make everyone happy

 

Look at the world, not the people.
Knowing how to appreciate nature will help you gain some positive outlook in life.
