Are you happy, or are you keeping everyone else happy

Do you feel happy, or are you really a person that tends to keep other people happy around you.I have a friend that seems to think as long as everyone else is happy around her that it all that really matters.It seems that she do a lot of things to keep people from moaning and being miserable around her, but you can see that she is not really happy herself.

I spend a great deal of effort making sure all I love and care for are happy. This way if they are happy so am I. I can't say they reciprocate with the same efforts as me but I am very content that I am a good person and did all my best to assure I was good to them. This way I do not have any regrets, perhaps some caution but nothing to be upset over.

I was able to make other people happy but it's hard for me to feel glad at this point of my life and I do want to shake things up in achieved what I've wanted to have. I did things that make my family proud of me and tried to help others ,I'm trying to work for my relationship but I also want to make myself happy. I wants to stop feeling empty inside , I want to live the life that I've wanted I want to reach for my dreams and have it in my hands . Its my turn to be happy

I am the same as you i find it hard to keep myself from feeling happy.If there are people around me that are feeling upset or low, it is hard for me to feel happy.I think that there are alot of people that try to do as much as they can to keep others happy that they never think of themselves.

I think that as long as everyone else is happy that is great as it makes my life peaceful, as well as me being happy.I am a person that try as hard as i can to keep people that i live with happy.I know that some people are only out for themselves in life and as long as they are happy they do not care about other people, i am not like that.

I haven't been a happy person for some years now. I do however feel happy in only a few things, one, my children and two, my girlfriend. You see, my marriage broke apart about 3 years ago and I have not been the same. Now let me explain, not because of my ex but because she took my children. The girl I'm with now is the best thing in my life. I knew her years ago before I got married, and I should have asked her out then, and she is my true soul mate.

It happens sometimes that people have to forget about their own needs and wishes to get others happy. I wanted to help my friend who was in doubt and asked me to give her advice. I wondered how to render her assistance, but my mother told me that she would find a solution anyway and I should not worry too much.

I take care of my family. I am ok, not necessarily overly happy. I just came to a place back in November or so where I just have given up on dreams and things that would really make me happy. I just don't care anymore. The days go by and if I didn't have Mylot and my writing I would be the corner sucking my thumb. haha

I have been like that! I have felt keeping some people happy would make me happy,too! Like with my dad over the years! I found out it is not worth it! It just makes you more unhappy! You have to make yourself happy not others! Once you are happy then you can help other people happy!

I want people around me to be happy,and seeing them happy also gives me happiness,so it matters most.
I won't be happy if someone i love is not happy,thu no matter how we tried to give our best,we cannot make everyone happy according to our will.
happy weekend
