Topic: Why people are unhappy? (Read 6132 times)

It depends on the individual. I am sure that most all people want always to be happy in their life. In other hands, happiness may become the goal all of people. In fact, in some conditions they may feel unhappy without certain caused for being unhappy. For me,  just be calm and always enjoy the life. Always thank to God for what given to us.

Happiness is a choice and it is not depend from external factors; but we like to believe that we are victims so we have something to blame. You either choose to be happy or sad in life nobody can do that for you

because they are not satisfied with what they have. some people just want all the material things in life and some people are satisfied with what they have and it makes them feel complete, happy and satisfied just a matter of choice

Basically, humans have an inadequate nature and always feel less and want more in all things,
I think people are unhappy because he is less grateful for what he has,

Because If feelings like these were confined to the present – what we are doing now to address our current circumstances - the challenges of living would be simpler.  Indeed, Whitman was a champion of that fully lived moment, when we embrace concrete, sensuous existence.  But unhappiness also centers on past occurrences, such as an ill-chosen act or a disgrace that can never be rectified.  And we are tormented equally by events to come, not just the “revenge of the future”

People are unhappy mainly because we do not get want we want that is way beyond in simply fulfilling our satisfaction. We do get positive news, good feedbacks, great things, successful stories, amazing wealth, wonderful family, and lovely life, yet some people are still unhappy. I do believe that it is way beyond to just being not contented but a feeling of emptiness. Though we could have the best things in our lives, something's lacking. We could have it, but not all, not everytime. People become unhappy for the reason that we tend to focus onto the things that we don't have rather than to the things that we do have. We cannot remove our 'comparing thinking' which leads to insecurity that makes us believe that we are unhappy.

Because the world celebrates those who find financial success or who achieve fame and celebrity, but none of those things make a person happy for long.

Every person has his/her own reasons. We are unhappy because of the family, work, studying

people are unhappy because of unending satisfaction and discontentment. Sometimes they don't know what they want and they explore things and when they fail, they were broke and unhappy for the results.

Most of people are happy but don't understand it because when you are happy you  are not thinking about it. When you feeling bad you are thinking about it.

Some people are unhappy because of their uncontentment of what they have in their life,lack of confidence upon doing their objectives in life,and a failure towards solving their problems.

because they have no money

alot of thing can make you not to be happy
money
if you lost family member
sometime wife can we giving man problem
People around you

People unhappy focus on materialism instead of themselves and their loved ones. To be happy you just need to look around and love the people that around you and stick with them!

For me, some people are unhappy because of insecurities, discontentment of the life they have and counting the things to come than the blessings they received. The only thing that you could do to make your life happy is to know your worth, knowing the outside and inside part of yours, to love and be loved by others.

When i don't have money am unhappy
When someone fail
Someone can even be frustrated of something
One country may not even make someone to be happy
People around someone may not make someone be happy

Well as for me I think people are unhappy because their aren't appreciative and maybe they are facing too much trials that they tend to overthink which leads to sadness and being unhappy. People nowadays are too emotional and always overthink. As humans,it is our initial reactions to problems but we nust be strong to face each trials.

People have many things, everyone has a house and a car, but they are unhappy. If there are no human relations, money can not make people happy. Living is not just eating and drinking. Human is a social creature.

Being unhappy is being not satisfied on something. Or simply says Expectation vs. Reality. And also based on the research I've red there are 7 qualities of chronically unhappy people.

1. Your default belief is that life is hard.

Happy people know life can be hard and tend to bounce through hard times with an attitude of curiosity versus victimhood. They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess, and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible. Perseverance towards problem-solving versus complaining over circumstances is a symptom of a happy person. Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the “look what happened to me” attitude versus finding a way through and out the other side.

2. You believe most people can’t be trusted.

I won’t argue that healthy discernment is important, but most happy people are trusting of their fellow man. They believe in the good in people, versus assuming everyone is out to get them. Generally open and friendly towards people they meet, happy people foster a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with an open heart. Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and assume that strangers can’t be trusted. Unfortunately this behavior slowly starts to close the door on any connection outside of an inner-circle and thwarts all chances of meeting new friends.

3. You concentrate on what’s wrong in this world versus what’s right.

There’s plenty wrong with this world, no arguments here, yet unhappy people turn a blind eye to what’s actually right in this world and instead focus on what’s wrong. You can spot them a mile away, they’ll be the ones complaining and responding to any positive attributes of our world with “yeah but”. Happy people are aware of global issues, but balance their concern with also seeing what’s right. I like to call this keeping both eyes open. Unhappy people tend to close one eye towards anything good in this world in fear they might be distracted from what’s wrong. Happy people keep it in perspective. They know our world has problems and they also keep an eye on what’s right.

4. You compare yourself to others and harbor jealousy.

Unhappy people believe someone else’s good fortune steals from their own. They believe there’s not enough goodness to go around and constantly compare yours against theirs. This leads to jealousy and resentment. Happy people know that your good luck and circumstance are merely signs of what they too can aspire to achieve. Happy people believe they carry a unique blueprint that can’t be duplicated or stolen from — by anyone on the planet. They believe in unlimited possibilities and don’t get bogged down by thinking one person’s good fortune limits their possible outcome in life.

5. You strive to control your life.

There’s a difference between control and striving to achieve our goals. Happy people take steps daily to achieve their goals, but realize in the end, there’s very little control over what life throws their way. Unhappy people tend to micromanage in effort to control all outcomes and fall apart in dramatic display when life throws a wrench in their plan. Happy people can be just as focused, yet still have the ability to go with the flow and not melt down when life delivers a curve-ball. The key here is to be goal-oriented and focused, but allow room for letting sh*t happen without falling apart when the best laid plans go awry- because they will. Going with the flow is what happy people have as plan B.

6. You consider your future with worry and fear.

There’s only so much rent space between your ears. Unhappy people fill their thoughts with what could go wrong versus what might go right. Happy people take on a healthy dose of delusion and allow themselves to daydream about what they’d like to have life unfold for them. Unhappy people fill that head space with constant worry and fear. Happy people experience fear and worry, but make an important distinction between feeling it and living it. When fear or worry crosses a happy person’s mind, they’ll ask themselves if there’s an action they can be taken to prevent their fear or worry from happening (there’s responsibility again) and they take it. If not, they realize they’re spinning in fear and they lay it down.

7. You fill your conversations with gossip and complaints.

Unhappy people like to live in the past. What’s happened to them and life’s hardships are their conversation of choice. When they run out of things to say, they’ll turn to other people’s lives and gossip. Happy people live in the now and dream about the future. You can feel their positive vibe from across the room. They’re excited about something they’re working on, grateful for what they have and dreaming about the possibilities of life. Obviously none of us are perfect. We’re all going to swim in negative waters once in a while, but what matters is how long we stay there and how quickly we work to get ourselves out. Practicing positive habits daily is what sets happy people apart from unhappy people, not doing everything perfectly. Walk, fall down, get back up again, repeat. It’s in the getting back up again where all the difference resides.
