about my last question?

Question

some people told me to enjoy life but for some reason i can't seem to enjoy anyhting anymore theres always something that i'm worried about am i the only one like this why can't i be happy?

Answer 1

I can hardly enjoy life as well. But I am content and I appreciate wht I have. I could never really have real fun like others, but there are things that I enjoy, such as reading.

My advice is: try to appreciate the small things. Focus on the sensual joys, like the feeling when you drink water on a hot day after being thirsty.
Try not to expect very positive emotions, just be fine with the small ones.

Good luck :)

Answer 2

You seem to be looking for someone to make it better for you. Much of what you want is deep inside you looking to get out.

Everyone is self-critical of themselves in some way. I'm ugly, I'm fat, I'm stupid, I worry to much. Welcome to the human condition. The secret to a lot of this is acceptance of yourself and your situation.

We look around and find that we are surrounded by wealth, and we don;t have it. We are surrounded by beauty and don;t have it, etc. That's OK, it's for someone else...not necessarily for me.

Wake up tomorrow and tell yourself that it's OK to worry a bit, instead of obsessing. over it. Work or do something you enjoy instread of crying over what you don;t have.

There is another part to this story. Each of our bodies has different blends of hormones and chemicals that control what we think and do to some extent. Some of us have a poor imbalance, I am convinced. Some of us need the help of the mood stabilizers, relaxing type of tranquilizers and such. I would suggest avoiding if possible, but let your doctor help decide that if you think it is too bad.

You don't say how old you are, but if teens and 20s, realize that your body is changing dramatically. It affects all of the above in some people more than others. For me, I always felt alone and unloved, while years later people told me how much they admired me because I always had it so together. I didn;t see it, I just remember how desparate I felt.

Good luck.

Sweetie, it's all up to you whether you'd like to live your life worrying about trivial things or enjoying whatever you have now.

I suggest that you start looking at the good things that you have - big or small and be thankful for them. Think of it this way... What if you did not wake up today? (the fact that you're still alive is one reason to be thankful). Live your life one day at a time.

Afterall, you live only once... its your choice

Blackthorns24...I don't know what is going on in your life.
Here is a poem that I wrote August 8, 2006. Please read.
I truly hope my simple poem will help you.

Mockingbird

Have you ever heard a mockingbird sing her song ?
She's announcing to the world
That she is ready to start the new day
And when the Sun arrives, she is on her way

All day long she strives to be successful
Never giving up until the Sun goes down
And when it is time to nest
She will sleep knowing she gave her best

From the mockingbird we can learn
To greet each day as a new beginning
And everyday strive for perfection
To have our thoughts, ideas to be a collection

Of who we are and what we can become
It is not what we think, but what we know
Time is fleeting and will soon be long gone
Have you ever heard a mockingbird sing her song ?

Answer 5

Yes, it happens sometimes. I know what your going through, believe me. If you feel that you can't enjoy anything that's in your life right now, try to find some new interests. For instance, if you're bored with your music, find some new bands to listen to. Try sleeping over at friends' houses to get away from your own house and to see them. Maybe they can help you regain interest in life. My advice about life isn't to try to enjoy it if you don't feel like it. Start by trying to find something to make it worth living for, and gradually build up to enjoying it. I hope I have helped you.

Answer 6

I feel your pain! I make other people happy, but I can't make myself happy. When people are sad, I always find a way to make them laugh. I'm unhappy on a daily basis, and can't cheer myself up. I always think... WHY ME? worry about everything. I can't enjoy life either. I always think...WHY AM I HERE? Why can't I enjoy life?? What's my purpose? I guess I'll finally figure it out one day???
