What's the point of happiness if I don't want it?

When you are deep into depression, you may start to adapt to the sadness and start to crave it. Recovery is different for everyone, but once you recover, you will come out of that mindset and realize happiness is precious and it is something humans are built to want.

Happiness gives color to our lives, it helps us become better and be more active in life, it helps us to indulge ourselves in the wonders of life.

I do want happiness. But right now, I can’t be happy because of how many people i’ve Hurt for love.

Without happiness, what DO you have? If you have peace of mind, then you are fine. If what you have left makes you having internal conflicts, then you wanted to ask why and get to the bottom of it.

It can be compared as what is the point of having food when i am not hungry. Same way if someone is happy with their life why would they want more, excess of anything is bad for health.

I think happiness doesn't exist but I search. I search for a way to feel content or satisfied with the decision .

The simple fact that you have asked this question says a lot. Think for a moment, if you truly didn't want happiness, then what would be the point in asking if there is any point to it? You are worth happiness, we all are. All we have to do is take a moment to think about what makes us feel good. It could be anything from a song you like, a book you've read or even a funny joke you've heard. Now, realize the feeling that comes with that thought is in itself some form of happiness. It feels nice doesn't it? So, "what's the point of happiness if you don't want it?" You. You are the point of happiness.

Happiness can often lead to great things. Even if you dont want it, it is still an important part of life.

As long as you are satisfied with the state of your life, feel healthy, and cause no harm to others, there is no point worrying about the "concept" of happiness.

This is a very interesting question. A philosophical one that could be answered in so many different ways. I personally think happiness still has a splint even if you don't want to. Just because you may not want happiness, doesn't mean someone else shouldn't get the enjoy it.

Some people will try and tell you to get over it and be happy. Yeah, that doesn't work! I've had those times in my life where I didn't want to be happy, where I didn't want to feel anything I just wanted to get through the day. You might not want it now, you might not want to be happy for a while but eventually things will start looking up and you'll want to do more than to get through the day without crying or you'll want to do more than to get out of bed. Happiness isn't something that comes easy it's something you have to work towards.

Perhaps the thing you don't want is the potential sudden loss of happiness once you have it. We come to accept that external sources of happiness come and go. But these sources of happiness do not originate from the object or circumstance itself, fleeting happiness comes from the value we place on this attaining this object or circumstance. If we realize that we have set our own criteria for happiness, we come to the realization that this criteria is also in our control. When your sources of happiness come from within - from the gratitude of the little things in life, from what you control right now and give attention to, and from the choice you make each day to love instead of hate - you have chosen to be happy.

the point of it is to make you happy and its a good thing, if you don't want it than thats fine it still has a point in life tho.

It depends on your definition of happiness. If the happiness you have defined a certain way is not the happiness you want (the things you enjoy in life, for example), you could explore a different definition. The point of happiness is what you make of it.

It's not happiness if you don't want it.

If you don't want something, then i don't see the point in pursuing it. You have to want to want it. Maybe it's more a case of that you do want it but you are scared how the change will impact your life and how you'll handle it. If that's the case then it's worth working on those issues first. For me, i find comfort in a familiar kind of depression, and find benefits from it in some situations. Whilst it's horrendous to be so depressed, part of me 'likes' that i can withdraw from the world and not interact with anyone and i have an excuse for it. So, i want to be happy but i don't like the responsibility and normalness that comes with that.

That is where you have to decide. Is that you ant happiness. Happiness is you loving you first and wanting to be happy. It takes work.

That's a hard question to answer, and it sounds like depression has it's ugly arms around you. When we are depressed we don't believe that we will ever be happy because we can't see any reason to be. Depression clouds are views and our thoughts. Happiness can be scary, like a beautiful sunset that we enjoy for a minute and then it is gone. We can't hold onto something so beautiful when it is nothing more than a fleeting moment. Depression makes us thing happiness is something we can never really grasp, just something that is always out of reach. Please be gentle with yourself.

If happiness is defined by achieving the set goal. Not having happiness is actually fulfilling the goal if 'don't want happiness' which eventually lead to happiness too. Of course, this is a paradox. Every soul craves for happiness and tend to away from suffering. The fact of not wanting happiness is because you are too pain and wish to get away from suffering. Away from suffering is peace, not happiness. Perhaps, a moment of peace in life is all we want.

Just because you don't want happiness, it does not mean you don't deserve it. Every human being is capable of happiness just as they would with sadness.

I guess you have to consider that many people do want happiness, so it is there for those that choose it. Happiness is a choice, we all make choices, and those choices lead us either to a happy life, or a drama filled life, or a sad and lonely life. If you don't want to be happy then it is your choice not to be, but you could perhaps consider why you don't want to be happy? Maybe you feel you don't deserve it? Maybe it is the fear that if you do have happiness, it will just be taken away from you. So I would explore in therapy your reasons for why you don't want to be happy.

Well, happiness is an emotional response to an event that releases endorphins in your brain making you happy. Happiness causes you to live longer, happier (duh), and healthier. It’s hard being happy when you don’t really want to be, but it’s really good for you, and it’ll help you out in the long run.

Happiness is a universal feeling/concept that brings a general understanding of positivity. You might not be in the mood to be positive right now which is fine, but perhaps by letting this negative feeling pass, you'll be able to acquire a positive feeling to balance that negativity out.

There's no point of happiness. Happiness is a point itself. It's not a destination nor an emotion which is needed to be carried everywhere. It comes naturally and fades away naturally. It depends on you the way you see it and handle it.

Happiness fuels us to keep us going. To pursue something greater, better, or even something amazing! Remember that being happy leads to unimaginable things so why let it go to waste!

Feelings don't easily compare to things. If you get what you want wouldn't that give you some happiness? We all define it differently. My guess is that you have decided you don't want someone else's definition of happiness, which is perfectly reasonable.

Happiness is something that all people deserve. And it is something that grows and expands into something beautiful, giving you health and life.

It’s a proven fact that happiness is what makes life beautiful and makes it a whole new experience if you don’t want it keep it in your pocket it might come in handy later in long run besides if your not happy it can make you feel fatigue or depressed to a point where you hate every morning and despise every night and the gut wrenching feeling of loneliness that makes someone want to stay in bed and just be invisible to others to a point of social anxiety and hatred of the public eye as they feel they do not fit in.

Do you mean to ask, "What is the point of pursuing happiness if I don't want to be happy?" That is a valid question. You may not want to experience happiness, but it's important to ask yourself what you do want to experience instead. Are you interested in helpful thoughts and emotions? Or do you only want to experience unhelpful thoughts and emotions? Do you have goals you want to achieve in your life? And if you have goals, what kinds of thoughts and emotions will help you achieve those goals? For example, if you are stuck in depression, will that prevent your from completing a project that is important to you, or from attaining success at work? If unhelpful emotions block you from living the way you want to live in your life, then it is still worth it to work on yourself to grow and expand. There are different shades of what can be interpreted as happiness. Try and define what you mean by "not wanting happiness." And if you do that, you'll better understand the point of it.

I remember a time when I was going thorugh a difficult patch, I was asked was I happy. I didn;t feel happy but at the same time I didn't feel unhappy. You don't have to feel happy all the time, I don't believe everyone does, but you do deserve to no feel unhappy or sad all the time. Maybe find a way to just be with yourself, no pressure to be or feel anything. At the end of the say it is your choice how you want to be in your life . Look after yourself and stay safe.
