I’m not meant to be fully happy You're not alone, it's the same story for all of us. Happiness can only be a moment anyway. No one is able to feel happy permantly, our brain doesn't work like that. Some people are in tune with their feelings and appear to have achieved permanent happiness, but truth is they're just better at not letting emotions overwhelm them. That's all we can do, learning to understand our emotions. But sadness/happiness won't ever be permanent states if you're healthy.

EnigmaticAndroid Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 6 hours ago, The Next Day said: I don't think happiness is sth you "find", it's a temporary emotional state. Sadness (or rather the absence of happiness) is necessary to feel happiness or else you wouldn't know how happiness feels in comparison to sadness. There's no stage in life that's purely composed of happiness. There will always be happiness, sadness and a lot of inbetween in our lives. We have no choice but to deal with those changes. So, I would rather ask the question "When did you learn how to cope with your emotions?" cause learning to handle sadness seems very hard while being the best option we have.

Robert Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I remember a Lana interview where she talked about an ancient Greek belief happiness is something you constantly have to work towards rather than just a static feeling which I think is true. For now just focus on the aspects of life that make you unhappy and try improve and change why you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
