Why I'm not feeling happy??

Question

Most of the time I'm furstrated and upset?I feel that most people are not honest.

Answer 1

Living with depression or unhappiness is miserable and with the paranoia that most people are not honest, you must feel like an alien on a strange planet. I suspect you know already why you are not happy because you provided your own answer.

I think people are as honest as they feel they are safe being.

Try finding someone you can talk to about your feelings. Perhaps if you can talk out your frustrations, you will feel much better.

Answer 2

I think most of us at times get a bit upset and frustrated when we h ear about things that our fellow human beings do that are so mean and horrible. Things that make you think to yourself "Ooooh, if I ruled the world, I just would not allow this or that to happen." I know I have, and felt almost ashamed that a member of the same species I belong to could ever think or act like that - whatever the thing was.
But I have to tell myself that I DON'T rule the world and I cannot cure all the bad stuff in it. I can only resolve to try my best to DO my best in my small corner of it, to be the most honest and decent human being I possibly can, and thereby perhaps set an example for good that others will notice and try to copy.
You don't mention your age, but I do think a lot of especially young people have a strong sense of what they f eel is "injustice", and hot-blooded anger and frustration can often run pretty high over it. Relatively few of us will ever find ourselves able to make a 'big important dent' on a particular human problem, but talking to a f riend of mine not long ago about this particular subject, he said "Y'know, nobody's totally helpless. If everyone could just think of one small thing to do every day that would make a small positive difference, either to another person, or to this planet that we live on and should treasure, it would alllll add up to something big." I absolutely agree with him, and would add that it would probably make us feel a little happier too.

Answer 3

Most people aren't honest, so you need to understand that and deal with it. How? You protect yourself as best you can. Develop good boundries, be wise and don't believe everything you hear. Make sure people prove who they are, that you just don't trust everyone by what they say. The sooner you accept we don't live in a perfect world, the better off you will feel. Happiness is a fleeting feeling. Contentment is an on-going mind set that is much better, strive for that.

Answer 4

I think you are wrong about most people being
dishonest. Your distrust of people may be part
of why you are feeling frustrated and upset. Yes some people are dishonest and your right there,but most try to be honest. Look around and you will see people with less than what you have, and maybe even very sick,or diabled. Try to look on the positive side of life and this should
help you to feel better. The more negative feelings you have the worse off you will feel.
Try to take your mind off of yourself,and see if
there is some one you could help. It is better to
give than to receive, also read your Bible.This
will also help you to understand a lot of things
about people.If you have any more problems please let me know.

This may or may not be pertinent/useful but I'll mention projection anyway. Projection is a psychological thing that everyone does, it's where you project some thought/feeling/quality onto someone/thing else, usually the object being projected is something that the person does not want to accept as their own. Example would be you feel that you yourself are dishonest but rather than owning it you project dishonesty onto everyone else. Another example is a friend once told me he thought his therapist was gay, two years later he comes out that he is bisexual but his therapist had been married to the same woman for 25 years, projecting the homosexuality onto someone else cos he wan't ready to own it himself. Not sure if that's at the heart of your problem but it seemed worth mentioning and I'm bored at work.

Answer 6

I don't exactly know what your problem is?! As for people and being honest you are probably correct. Everyones first instinct is normal the correct one depending on how your emotions are at that moment. The only way I can help you with your problem is to know more about it.

Answer 7

Is this just recently, or do you feel like this all the time?
If it's recently, it's a temporary bout of frustration, I suppose... maybe you're fed up with something that's going on in your life and you just don't notice it or realize it yet.

Answer 8

Jesus Christ is always honest. Even when lying man isn't.
