Trying to hard to be happy making you sad?

Attitudes bother me as well as people not feeling thankful for what and who they have in their lives.

Yes I am trying peaceful first then happy.

Being in pain Seeing people suffer People that are rude People that don't care about other people Seeing garbage on the streets What can I do about it? I can try to help and find solutions but things just keep getting worse. So, I'll keep praying and keep hoping that God will intervene and help us soon.

You cannot "try to be happy", the most you can do is not to let you down. Happiness comes from the inside.

I feel quite content with my life. I have a lovely family, grand children who are healthy, we are not rich by any means but we are grateful for what we have. I have read through this post and I am really heartened to read that despite all the mocking of President Trump many are feeling that he has helped the nation. Good on him. All we need to do is sort out our useless back stabbing politicians our country is in a mess at the moment.

I think people who are not happy are always striving to gain "something more" instead of being thankful for what they already have.

I just do my own thing now. I pay attention, but not letting outside noise effect me as once did. Screw what people think. I am determined not to be like most of society that did indeed make me miserable at one time.

Happiness is created when you are not trying so hard. It seems to come naturally to some people.

Everyday problems? Lonely people (I talk to them). Poor people (I work with them). Entitled people (I try to avoid them). Texting drivers (I try to avoid them). People who speak confidently and have no idea what they're talking about (I try to correct them without hurting their feelings). Bad music (I try to teach music to as many young people as I can). Oh geez. That's six.

I have always tried my best to be happy!! And always sought happiness!! But there are so many things that hit from the left really hard!! it's hard to put it all in perspective sometimes!! What would you give up for happiness!!!??

I feel trying hard won't make me sad, and the thing that makes me sad is that I don't get much money from my work

Lack of money and problems with my father.It's very hard to be happy when you're sad.

sometimes we just need to be sad for a while, so we can be truly happy later.
