I just want to know why people can't just be happy. There are so many things to be appreciative about, yet people seem to only focus on what's wrong in their lives. Sometimes, it even seems that they look for things to go wrong. It's a little ironic that I'm complaining in a discussion asking why people can't be happy, but I just don't get it. Some of my friends are so caught up in drama, they miss out on all the great stuff. I have this one friend, in particular, that I love, but she's really beginning to drag me down. Lately, whenever I talk to her, she's so stressed and complaining about this and that. When I look at her life, I don't understand because she has it made. Maybe she doesn't think so, but if she would just relax, she'd begin to see it. Life is what you make of it and if you spend it being miserable, then you're wasting it away.

It is a fact that many people are happy when they are complaining! Or having a negative attitude to everything. It's a strange psychological thing that I certainly can't explain!
It really is quite hard to find a genuinely happy, positive person. Perhaps the girl you are talking about is actually happy but complaining has become a habit to her. Whatever the case, you shouldn't let her drag you down.

I guess she doesn't drag me down, but it makes me want to make myself scarce sometimes so I don't have to listen to the same crap all the time. And, I think you're right, some people are just that way---only feel better when there is something wrong. I mean, I'm not always happy, who is? But, geez, life is too short to not enjoy it.

Its a human nature.. Mostly we don't feel happy for even a big thing which is happened in favor to us.. But we feel depressed, stressed for just a tiny thing which happened against us.. It means we are supposed to feel for a negative things rather than positive things which is being happened in our life..
Every one haves positive & negative attitude in their life, hence we should always approach positive thinking even in negative situation.. But it is very hard to do so.. Life is not a miserable & also we are not wasting it.. We can live our life very happily.. Your discussion on this topic contains many negative things about humans.. Just think about it.. Take survey regarding this topic in people ( Not through online..) Life is a Raw material.. We should make it as Art.. Do you think we can't??

I will always believe that there ae positive people left in the world. it is what gives our lives hope. without any positivity, what would our world truly be? Being positive is something to streive for and i hope this world would never be without.
