When I feel sad, I prefer to spend it alone and think of the reasons for my sadness. I then try to avoid them and go back to my routine after a few minutes of refreshment.

When I am sad, I prefer to stay alone in my room and wait for time to go by. Usually a good sleep makes me feel different, but I always recover from sadness in a short time, when is a big one, then I need maximum three days, but that is rare. Usually it takes me a good sleep and I am over the sadness.

When I'm sad, I try to do something to cheer me up. I might want to be alone if I feel like it. But I might also watch a funny movie or a funny television show, or something like that. I might read a book or something. I usually do things that I like doing, in order to cheer me up.

Good day to you Sweetneelu, With reference to your topic discussion, there is only one sure thing that I am doing if I feel the sadness of life - that is the act of praying. This is the very first thing that I am doing, no matter what and no matter where. Since, I believed that prayer is the best answer to our sadness. Then, after that, I will go for a cup of coffee to obtain relaxation.

Some times i use to stay alone and some times i need my mom or dad to share my feelings and some times i need my friends to share my feelings and i will get relax. But its very difficult to speak on that situation, May be by tears i will try to express my feelings.

If I sulk in my room listening to sad, emotional music every time I'm sad, the more bluer I become. So, what I do is that, I try to go out with friends. Be in the company of jolly and happy people who would make me laugh and help me throw off all my sorrows away. Watch comedy films or go to comedy bars. It would do me good than sulking and locking myself up in my room crying.

When I am sad I mostly use to be with friends because when they talk and make laugh to me I feel happy and me go same concentrated with them,while they do this things I also get enjoy with them like wise I forget all things that make me sad but sometime is difficult to manage that also and think while...... what I have did wrong but suddenly I change my mind is not good by thinking and is better to join with friends and have fun with them but never find me as sad because I never use show and I hide my sadness because I don't want to make anyone in travel instead of me.I am always happy with friends but sadness is knocking inside my mind.What you will do when you are sad?

I usually sing a song, or listen to music to keep my sadness away. I also prefer to remain aloof, and wishing for the goodness for next time.

When i am feelin down I usually loose temper easily. To avoid hurting otehrs around me with harsh words it is best to stay alone and usually I go to bed or resort to eating chocolates or icecream.

When i am sad, i stay alone and think but not much. Because i believe in facing things with the smiling face. No use to be in sad for more time, because being sad things wont change automatically.
