why is it so hard to be happy?

Answer 1

Because you are tyring way to hard. You need to stop and smell the roses and you'll see how much that will help!

Answer 2

People expect to be happy, or think they deserve happiness. Many also believe that aquiring things and possessions will make them happy. None of this is true.

Happiness is not merely a life lived by accumulating material possessions or moments of pleasure. On the contrary, happiness is a long lasting enduring enjoyment of life, it is being in love with living.

Happiness comes from wanting what you have- not having what you want. To be happy you need to develop two skills, thinking skills and valuing skills. Once you have confidence in your own mind, you will think rationally about what is valuable in your life and can bring happiness. .
Being happy takes work!

Answer 3

Nothing begins, and nothing ends,
That is not paid with moan;
For we are born in others' pain
And perish in our own. ~Francis Thompson~

Seriously, if you are feeling really down, talk to your friends or family about it. Some of us have a predispostion, in other words, chemical imbalance, that causes depression. You can research this and treat with herbal remedies and with a better diet, or receive medicine. Most of the time, this feeling is a passing one. Even if you are prescribed medicine, not everyone takes it for a lifetime. It is taken until your imbalance is, well, balanced. Your best bet is to see a counselor or psychologist who can better tell you what to do!
I hope the above quote didn't discourage you further. It is my favorite when I am feeling down...only because it reminds me that others feel unhappiness also. Makes you feel like you aren't the only one, and usually that is how you feel when sad. Depression is very different from sadness though. So please seek help if you feel this way often.

Answer 4

Let me tell you that happiness is not a destiny but a CHOICE...Nor it depends on the material and earthly things you have...It is not hard to be happy when you choose to be one...Appreciate "small things" that come into your life rather than complain for not getting the "big things" in your life...Choose to be happy, girl! It's not really hard as you think, you'll see...(",)

Answer 5

It's shouldn't be. Do you have running water, electricity, a roof over your head, someone that loves you, food in your fridge? If you answered yes to these questions then you should be happy. There are adults and children suffering and living without these things all over the world. We have nothing to complain about.

Answer 6

Because society is evil, and 99.9 percent of people aren't worth interacting with. Most are nice to those that they know, but when confronted with a stranger will often disregard the golden rule. The world is not a happy place.

Answer 7

Life is what you make it....If that doesn't appear to ring true in your life back up and cut out the parts that prevent your happiness. YOU CAN DO IT !

Answer 8

Because you make it hard for yourself. Just remember that nothing matters in this world except unconditional love, if you have that, you have no reason not to be happy.

Answer 9
