Depressed or no?

Question

Am I the only person that thinks I'm simply not as happy than others? I wouldn't say I'm depressed, at least not anymore. But other people I know are always smiling, laughing, hanging out with friends, going out etc. The only time I'm happy is when I have food, just got off work, or just got paid. I wonder if everyone else just fakes it like I sometimes do, or if I just don't get joy out of the little things in life? 🤔

Answer

If you're deciding how happy everyone else is based on Facebook, it's almost completely a false view of how happy they are. People only post the best bits there, when they're happy and smiling and with friends.

I know two women who posted all the time about how amazing their husbands were and how lucky and happy they were. Both are now divorced- they were trying to convince themselves they felt a way that was completely false.

Answer

Sometimes the people who are depressed are the ones who are 'happy all the time' it's normal to have mixed emotions and feel shitty sometimes, especially when you're stuck in the same old routine and want change but if you think you might be clinically depressed then it's best to see a professional for a proper assessment. Don't wait till it's too late.

Answer

Most people aren't happy 24/7. Pictures make things look more fun than they actually are.

Answer

It sounds odd but if you want to feel joy from the little things then see it ... open your heart to your inner child and explore the world with fresh eyes.... I find it easier to begin by finding beauty in things like trees and nature.

Take something random say for instance a can of body spray, examine it, its colours the logo. It's pretty. It makes me feel sweet! Looking at the colour variations makes me feel happy.

Gradually move onto bigger things like clothes and experiences... the more you make time to do it the more it'll become habit 🤗 I hope this helped even a little!
