Expectations are the only reason people get sad. They do expect a lot from an event or from any person without looking at the practical possibilities of the outcome coming in their favor , since they didn't anticipated their loss , they get hit by the outcome .

Anything can make you sad. Sometimes you can feel sad without any reason at all. Different things make different people sad. Mostly losing someone or something close or even change-internal as well as external can make people sad.

Well, according to me a person feels sad when they forget the essence and beauty of life. They become engaged in unimportant aspects that they forget to live altogether.

I get sad when I feel isolated from activities or conversations my friends are having or doing. Especially if I feel ignored. For example, If I am asking them a question or calling their names and no one is responding to me because they are too invested in the conversation. Or since I am away at college, they go get food to eat without inviting me however, everyone else was invited.

When expectations do not meet experiences, it makes a person sad. It makes you feel as if you are of no worth, and that no one loves you and that no one will ever love or accept you and you'll spend the whole of your life wandering in a hopeless, despondent, loveless landscape.

There are lots of triggers to make people sad, especially during adolescence. Usually it's deaths in family and friends, but things like poor grades, friend breakups and personal things can make someone sad. There's no way in knowing exactly what makes people sad unless you talk to them.

how people say bad words to you and they don't even realize it hurts. A tongue has no bones but it can break a heart

Loosing someone close to them. Hurting themselves and the pain causes emotions or even mental diseases like depression causes sadness.

Sadness stands as a very critical matter. To some, sadness can be just a issue of thinking in different perception, where one way of thinking isn't that worrisome at all, and the other can be terrifyingly sad. And to other people. especially the pessimists, sadness is every little mistake made, every dead end faced. And there are those, who can go through sadness without an effort - the realists. Some things in common makes people devastated - loss of opportunity, death of close ones, sudden failures or perceptional negative unexpected happenings. But even the tiniest things, such as not responding to their greetings, can make one sad and desperate.

Sadness is a natural human emotion. Mainly it is the feeling of loss what makes most people sad. Fear or low esteem may also be causes for sadness.

Sad thoughts. Sad songs. Negative thoughts. Remember that life isn't so bad if you don't let it be. It's all on how you react to life!

When a person gets a negative idea in their head and repeats it until they believe it. When certain situations are overwhelming and stressful and the person doesn't know what step to take next.

A lot of things. Feeling hopeless, helpless, and alone are some of the main factors. When someone loses hope or support from other people, they become very sad. That's why everyone needs a hug and a compassionate ear once in a while!

I feel as if an event that happened that really affected someone is what makes them sad, other times there isn't a reason, they just are.

A trigger which varies upon everyone. A random trigger means, it doesn't have to be practically anything. Over time, it will happen. But these can be avoided when found

Many factors can make a person sad. It can be a personal loss, like a pet, a friend, or a family member.
