I have a good life why am I not happy?

Just having a good life does not equal happiness. There are so many important issues and feelings that are not related to having a nice home or good job.

Many times it's normal to be unhappy even if you have a good life. Having a good life doesn't automatically make you happy, content, of course. But not always happy.

I can completely related. There's lot of reasons. One might that your life isn't so good in an aspect or many aspects. It is not unusual for you to be harder on yourself. I like to think of myself as a friend. Would my life be good for them in my opinion? However, that may not be the case. You can have a good life and also have a mental illness. This might be the reason you are not happy. Personally, I have a great family, great friends, great school, but I have OCD, depression, and anxiety which made me very unhappy. I always felt like I should have been so sad, but your feelings are valid regardless.

Having a good life is subjective. We all have a different definition of what it means to have a good life. Even when things are going well, different things can get us to feeling less than ideal. Sometimes, it might be routine, or lack of routine. Seasons changing, moving to a new place, job or relationship. Whatever the case may be, just know that the only thing constant in life is change. Just wait a while and things are bound to get more interesting.

I guess because I keep thinking about something that I haven't had yet or something that I don't have. I should be more grateful about what I have right now and try to give more rather than take more from others. I keep worrying about my future and grieving about my past. I guess I should be enjoy my present more and improve myself for my better future and let my past as a part of journey. Learn from them.

Many times we don't know the reason of our sadness. Because it's not sadness. Its the lack of inner peace and calmness which deprives us of enjoying all good things. Maybe, its work stress which people mostly ignore. You should have a deep knowledge of your own body and mind. For the best answer you should observe yourself carefully and think what you lack or desire the most

What does it mean by a good life? wealth? food? shelter? friends? You may have a good life but maybe you are missing something that turns that good life into a happy life, just think about what you are missing or what others have that make them happy that you don't but don't have a good life.

Start evaluating what you need in life and work your way up to some wants, but be limited in it. Humans love material things in life or get to caught up in having way too much. Sometimes having a little goes a long way then having more. You would know your situation best. But the best thing to do is to always ask yourself if something is missing, do you have a mental illness, a defineccy, medical issues, financial issues or something? Think about it :)

Sometimes unhappiness doesn't have to have a 'why'. Depression and depressive thoughts quite often don't have a proper reason, nonetheless, your feelings are completely valid!

Wealth, education, etc. does not necessarily lead to happiness. It's things that mean something to you that make you happy. Find things that you value and can make you smile instead of focusing on what you're lead to believe will make you happy.
