Is it my fault that I feel so unhappy?

It is not your fault if you are feeling unhappy. Unhappy and happy feelings are states of mind. They keep coming and going. There are reasons like some situations or events which make us unhappy sometimes. However, that doesn't mean we are responsible for it.

Perhaps. But perhaps it's not a fault. It's an obstacle. A challenge. A learning experience. And you can overcome this, I know you can. And more; you can learn and grow from it. Even the slightest improvement is amazing, and helps towards further bettering yourself by familiarizing yourself with your emotions and the words your heart want you to say. Knowing your heart and following what is says is a very imporant step in being happier in life. And I think I speak for all the listeners on here when I say that I want to help you achieve happiness by any means neccessary.

Short answer? Of course not! The long answer is that finding what makes us happy is a massive struggle. Just like food and shelter, we need happiness to truly thrive. It's our responsibility to look for the things we need to live, but the world is in many ways beyond our control and comprehension. If a man is starving in a desert, it's not his fault that he is hungry. So long as you are working to find happiness, the rest is a matter of whether you have the right environment, tools, and help to acquire it.

No it is not your fault. Sometimes we can't help feeling unhappy and there is nothing wrong with it and no reason to be ashamed of it or to put blame on you. Always be good and understanding with yourself, allow yourself the time you need to grief and be sad about things that cause you pain. Unhappiness cannot simply be pushed aside but needs to be felt and slowly overcome. Maybe you can also think of ways to distract yourself from your unhappy condition: I found that finding new hobbies (such as a new sport) can be a good distraction...

No. Emotions are natural human qualities. We cannot escape events that make us unhappy. However, it is our fault to REMAIN unhappy.

Don't blame yourself for it. While it could be based on things that you do or don't do, there are a number of things that can cause unhappiness/sadness/depression. For example, there are situations in daily life, chemical or hormonal imbalances, and trauma that can lead to a person being unhappy. So don't be hard on yourself if you're not happy.

There are many events in life that may make someone unhappy, and most of these cannot be controlled. However, you can control, to an extent, how you deal with them. You can choose to seek support and you can choose to do your best to help yourself. However faling to do these things is likely not your fault, simply that you did not have the right tools at hand.

does anyone actively, wish him or her self to be unhappy? in our life there are and will be many things that fail to meet our expectations, external factor that we can't posibly see coming or prevent anyhow. but as much as we don't like it, things will never go precisely according to the plan. does that mean the world is the one guilty for you feeling unhappy? id say it doesnt, but just as we have some of the blame for how we take the different things that are thrown at us, we are also influenced by family, friends, politics, economics, etc. but even if we may be going through a series of things beyond our control, it is, though, our responsibility to find our own path to happiness if we feel our life has not been going alright for us

I think it's a matter of how you do things. If you are unhappy with your life and you're still not doing anything, then it's kinda your fault that you're not ready to change your life. Of course, there are always situations in which it's not your fault but if you can do something about yourself and you know "how" you can be happy, then you have an end goal and all you need to do is figure out a way to get there.

You're unhappy depending on your emotions, so it is controlled by you. However that does not mean that you're the reason. There are factors in your life affecting you and it is up to you to change your mindset to help yourself feel better. It is important that you don't base you happiness on others or their actions/words. It is not that you are a negative person but more so you are not sure what steps to take to make progress on your own emotions and feelings.

It is not your fault when you feel unhappy. People feel sad for many reasons. I would encourage to work on developing coping skills such as reading, listening to music, talking to someone who won't judge you or belittle you, and excercising, as excercise is proven to help with depression which if the sadness persists, it could lead to depression.

It shall not be your fault to be unhappy. One can feel unhappy for many reasons other than their own. Like from other people, the surrounding, situations etc. Don't blame yourself dear

"Unless you do specific things to raise your levels of happiness and energy and positivity. You will be continually sucked down. You have to take an active role in making yourself happy. Thats why I say happiness is a choice. Because you have to choose it. You have to say "You know what, Im going to be happy today. No matter what happens. Im going to smile and im going to do things that bring me to happiness. I am going to choose not to let outside influences of the world affect my mood. You will live a happier life. " Shay Carl Butler

It's not your fault - we can't help how we feel, especially if we're struggling or have illnesses that we're dealing with. Remind yourself that it's not you - it's your depression/social anxiety/struggles whenever you start feeling guilty. /CPeach
