Why am I becoming MORE MISERABLE as i get older?

Question

i rarely ever smile or laugh anymore and when i do, it's sounds like i'm being sarcastic

Answer 1

Sounds like you're tired out...and maybe disillusioned with your career/job or the lack thereof. Cultivate a new interest in life and make sure you're in good health--get a checkup. Being ill can make a misery out of anyone.

Answer 2

You are getting more miserable as you get older because you're starting to realise that your parents were right. Being an adult really isn't all that great. When you're a kid, everything is still new and you're discovering things all the time. You get kicks out of stuff that just becomes a part of every day once you're older. You'd have tried so hard not to let your Mum know you had a drink when you were 14, now it doesn't matter at all. She wouldn't mind at all if you had one now. You're finally starting to realise that all the great stuff you heard and thought being an adult was all about when you were growing up was just hype, and being an adult is really just work bills and peptic ulcers.

Answer 3

You get what you give.Are you smiling at others?There is always a reason to laugh or smile.You have to change your atttude to others.It is the mental age that matters.If you feel mentally old soon your body also become aged.Keep mentally young.Mix with both younger and equal aged.See the world the way others see and move withtimes.You can be ageless and youth foreever.You find out the reasons why you can not laugh.Write it down may be family problem,earnings,difference with relatives/office.Try to identify and correct yourself.A new life is waiting for you ,take the first step,be happy and confident.

Answer 4

You've probably just realised that the best part of your life is being wasted on mere survival inthe sure and certain knowledge that you are being taxed into the grave:)
You're not alone - I rarely smile these days.
I think once you've settled into a groove you tend to shut down and reject new experiences for the safety of whatever it is you've become comfortable with. The trouble is, you're not prepared to risk your (now) very precious time and resouces on anything that you may not like...
Hate to say this, but you've got to get out there and try something new, something that challenges you, have a mid-life crisis anything, anything but sink further down in your armchair and think that there's nothing out there worth bothering about.
Once you get past a certain age, nobody minds you making a pratt of yourself - so what have you got to lose?

Answer 5

I think you're a bit depressed, which is perfectly normal as today's world is very tough with a candy covering. Talk to a doctor, no shame in that at all. The problem, I think, is that this is a way that can be bettered but you can't go home again.

Answer 6

Whey hey join the rest of us. It is becuase everything heads south as you get older and starts to droop. Hence the mouths sunny smile turns upside down to a frown. When you eyes start to sink and you gut overhangs then you have real problems... you know you are on your way to something good then.

Answer 7

It could possibly relate to a decrease in your serotonin levels, which naturally occurs as we age. Check out the info listed below and don't forget to check with your doctor before making any changes. Good luck!

Answer 8

i was getting a bit that way myself,
but this past week i went with a wonderful woman
to a beautiful spot on the coast of maine, we were like two
kids playing in the sandbox--must keep some spark of
romance or fun alive

Answer 9

don't sweat be really REALLY grumpy for a whole day and express you misery and then after that try a comdey club like someone said. Or you cud be tired and need a break, take a trip for a fortnight to a carribean island or something, wherever floats your boat.

Answer 10

You seriously need a change in your lifestyle before you become serious depressed. Go out more, even for a walk, but most of all enjoy life.
