Do you ever get tired of making people happy??? Or is it enough for you to make people happy and you are happy? Sometimes don't you wish that you were the one They were trying to make happy?

ok, i know i am going to sound depressed. i logged on to mylot just now to rant about how sad i am since yesterday. then i find this discussion about making other people happy. so what have i got to say? i am tired of making others happy. all my waking hours, all i ever want to do is think and do what's best for my kids. i do things that i know will make them happy. i work hard to give them the best. i sacrifice the things that i want so i can give them more. i always always keep in mind that i want my parents to be proud of me. and i am always working at being the best so that other people will be happy.... and now i feel so down and out coz my husband doesn't share the same values i do. like how can he not think of us (me and the kids) before he makes decisions? how can he make himself happy at our expense?

omg... this sounds so much like me... at first as I was reading I thought...why are my words under her name and picture... Everything I do is for my kids... and I am always trying to make other s happy... why... is it so they will accept me... Like you... my husband does not think about me and my (our) kids... of course he basically has disowned the younger two... and they know it... I am sorry you are going thru this!

four weeks ago, it was like this. for a while, i forgot about this but today, depression set in again. my husband does things that affect me in a negative way. sure, i know he loves me and the kids. but he just can't let go of a vice he has that he knows affects the family. i hate to be admitting this here (of all places) but there's nobody else i can tell this to. and it's slowly permeating through my very system and if i don't let this out, i'd probably go into deep depression (or whatever you call it that means it's permanent!) i guess i need to talk to somebody...

i think i never get tired and will never get tired of making people happy making people happy is what makes me happy seeing happy faces and big smiles that things really brings joy to me and i believe that what you get you get his what you gave if you wish that you are the one that they're trying to make happy, why don't you first try to make them happy, and you'll make yourself happy,you will never need them to make you happy because you already make yourself happy.

I get tired of making other people happy because I never seem to ever be happy myself. I love to make them happy though. I just wish it would come back to me sometime. I wish someone was always making sure i was happy also.

I think there are people born to make others happy... like the entertainers, clowns and comics alike... but i am neither of those... so i try to make my family and friends happy in my own little way... but i can't do that every minute of the day... that is actually reserve for my daughter... and i will not get tired making her happy... because if she is happy... i am too...

Every single day of my miserable life! lol I like making people happy, because it makes me happy. But there is a limit. I am no longer interested in trying to make unhappy people happy, or people happy who have no interest in returning the consideration. See - I sound confused because I'm too unhappy to make sense! LOL

I do, especially when you feel as though you are getting nowhere and they are not getting any happier. I hate it when you want someone to just appear and make you happy, because you are sitting at home feeling down, but you don't want to say "come round and make me happy".

Hi, Yep I do get tired of trying to make everyone happy, but then again doesn't everyone? I told my hubby thank you last night and he said for what and I told him, "well I know I don't say it much, but thank you for taking care of me and doing things for me" and he said, " hush up you have been taking care of me for 25 years, so what if I have to come home and fix dinner and help. That's what we do in this relationship." He made me feel better and happy just by saying that. I felt so bad (sick) yesterday that he fixed dinner, served me, and put everything away. So in my life, I am the one he is trying to make happy everyday, and sometimes when I am aggravated with him, I forget that.

I never get tired of making people happy. Especially making my husband and two children happy. I love making people smile even when I don't feel much like smiling myself. It makes me happy to make others happy so I could get tired of it.

yes, sometimes i think so. i think i have done enough to make others happy. i have not done anything to make myself happy. still i think you can't make happy all.
