Anyone else tired of trying to make other people happy?
People only use you.
Is it wrong to just say the hell with everyone else and just make your self happy?

It's not wrong, it's what you must do to be happy. And if others think you're being selfish and mean, then it's because they want you to lavish your attention on them. In the end, your happiness comes first, not everyone else's.

I have to make my kids relatively happy or they will be in therapy for the rest of their lives.
Other than that, I don't really care. I try to be a nice, kind person and a good friend.
If you are in a situation where people are "using" you, you need to reassess your life and see what you can do differently to take care of yourself.
Cheers!

Well, it's not wrong to make yourself happy. I think we need to develop our "spider sense" of when others are trying to take advantage of us. We need to learn how to say no, to draw a line and stick to our guns.
I was always taught by my parents to make others happy and ended up forgetting about myself. After a few mishaps and angry moments I learned to sense a "user" miles away.

That's what you're supposed to do, short of intentionally hurting anyone else in the process. If you're not taking care of yourself first, you're really not going to be useful to anyone else in the long run anyway. So, I say GO FOR IT!! :-D

for me, i will be happy if i make other people happy
for others, maybe, he will be happy if he's rich
or he will be happy if he have a good education
or, he will be happy if he's popular
YOU SHOULD KNOW THE SOURCE OF YOUR HAPPINESS
if you know it, try to get it.. and ,ake yourself happy
even if people only use us, if we had good intention, we'll be happy.
