And why? If you think you're the only one who has a tough life you're not alone.

I'm not happy most of the time - i'm generally very unhappy. I find that i am only really happy when i have something to look foward to or some sort of motivation in life, which are rare things.
Good to know i'm not alone though! haha

People don't have to be poor economically or even have a tough life in other respects to be unhappy. Sadness is an equal opportunity emotion. I can fake it out but much of the time I feel like I'm different and on the outside looking in. So in that respect, life is hard.

My grandfather once told me this and it is what I think of every time I want to gripe and feel sorry for myself:
Every person in this town was miserable. All felt that they had the worse problems. The townsfolk all bundled up there problems and put them in a giant pile. Each person was then able to select a bundle and have those problems instead. Each person picked back up their own bundle and went home.
Know why? We all have our unique problems but we also have our own unique abilities. We know that we can handle our own problems.
I am constantly at a children's hospital for my son. I meet many parents while waiting for surgeries, testing, or consultations. As a parent tells me about their child's problems I find myself thinking that I could never handle all that and feeling empathetic. Then it is my turn. I tell them about my child and I see the same look on their face that I imagine was on mine only moments before.
I am a firm believer that we only encounter obstacles that we are able to overcome.

No I am not happy most of the time. And yeah I think my life is hard. And no I dont think I'm the only one....but why would I bother think about other peoples hard life when I have to deal with mine 24/7.

I'm almost never happy, even when I act like I'm happy and do such a good job of it that i forget that I'm unhappy i'm still unhappy. sometimes i think that all my friends and I are just putting on one big show for each other and that we all know we are just acting happy around one another ,but for some reason we just continue because no one has the courage to call the group on its crap. Maby the whole world is like that. Maby happyness is just a made up concept to sell more greeting cards.

What's really pathetic is that most people who are profoundly unhappy really have nothing to complain about. A friend and myself had this discussion; we're both fairly good looking, from somewhat affluent families and are more intelligent than average.
And we both hate it. We both think we're lonely as anything whilst recognising that we have so many people who care about us that sometimes we don't have time to ourselves because of everyone who wants to speak to us.
It's strange and completely irrational. It doesn't make life difficult; I wouldn't know any better. And most of the difficulties I either create for myself or are imagined...

when you are not happy most of the times, of course life is hard.
