I have a good life why am I not happy?

It could be that something is bothering you and you are not aware. Maybe you have been undergoing stress in the worklace or such and don't even know. But your its actioning out on your subconcious, the mind is a funny thing. And stress is also a funny thing, you could be stressing and dont even know it, until your blood pressure started rising and your head hurts and stuff like that. It is important that you take care of yourself, and also open your eyes out to tiny things afftecting you negatively to make you unhappy. Do take care.

Happiness and satisfaction are often confused but there is a distinct difference. To begin with, happiness is an emotion whereas satisfaction is not. If you are looking at your life and the various components that give you pleasure, it is likely you are not unhappy but rather dissatisfied. Feeling dissatisfied is fairly common. We are conditioned to want certain things in our lives– money, houses, cars, work accomplishments. Without them, we might feel like we haven’t satisfied certain criteria for success. We feel that we are missing things. We are also never told that there is a point where you can feel, well – done. In other words, once you achieve the things you were aiming for, most people want more and will ask (or feel like asking) “what’s next?”

Depression, mental illness and emotional problems do not discriminate between classes or how much income a person receives. Anyone can suffer from a mental illness or emotional problem. Just because you are having a good life does not mean that you are a bad person for having an issue like this. You are strong to reach out despite how you feel. Even celebrities with a lifestyle that anyone could stereotypically consider perfect can get mental illnesses. You are not alone in having these issues, and you are not a bad person or ungrateful for having them. I hope this answered your question.

You aren't happy despite your good life because all the material things you have don't bring happiness. Happiness bring only our own beliefs on how we are satisfied with what we have, what we do, what we can get and give. Nothing Will make you happy if you Will be dissatisfied with your life, if you won't be satisfied with what you have, what you do, what you are, what you can get, what you can give, even if these are only minor things. You needn't to sacrifice yourself to be happy. Also not listening to people who wish to persuade yourself that you Will be happy if you get this and that is advisable as people think about what they experience themselves from these things not what Will you experience from them (Word things in this sentence include all material things and services also nonmaterial goods and services and even giving - volunteering for example). Someone Will become happy when voluntering, but other person won't become happy when voluntering. People are different. It is why listening to advices of other people isn't always beneficial to our happiness.

Because you still do not have everything clear in your life, maybe the insecurity over limits and you do not know how to face different situations, but calm, it is normal, you can slowly reach happiness but you have to play your part. I can always help you but with your help! You can and you can. It is a long way that is achieved with small steps. And do not be sad, I'm sure there are many beautiful things in your life that you still can not decipher. Maybe you feel lonely, but you're not, believe me not. Life is one and you have to live it, every time you think you're not happy say "I can

That answer is always based within, happiness is subjective which means its different for everyone. Yes you might have a good life by society's standards, but, look deeper, what part of your character seems unfulfilled? Is there something that you have not done, not achieved, something you wanted from a young age, something that has come on more recently perhaps. By society's standards, I have quite a poor life, but happiness is not the destination, happiness is a mode of transport. Its not about choosing to be happy, its about letting go of the things that are anchoring you to your misery, then doing something that fills you personally with joy, not what other's want, just you. I like hopping on a place and popping to a city I've not been, feels me with a sense of adventure and wonder.

Having a good life really has nothing to do with having good mental health. In my experience when other people see me they say I have such a good life how can I possibly ever be sad. But in reality not ‘everything’ is good in my life. And even if it was still, having a good life doesn’t always mean a good mental health. You could live in a millionaires mansion and be able to have whatever you want, but of course you will be sad. And I myself do not know why you might not be happy, but believe me when I say it’s ok to not be happy even if you have the world at your feet. :)

Sometimes although your life is going great, you still may not feel happy, or you may feel unfulfilled with what you are doing. This may relate back to symptoms of depression. Ask yourself what you are satisfied and unsatisfied with in your every day life. This may help you lay things out into a better perspective so that you can pinpoint the things that are causing your unhappiness. Just remember-it is totally normal to feel unhappy, and you are not alone. We at 7 Cups are here to help you talk through your feelings as often as you may need.

Having a good life seems to be a pretty good one to have. Lot of people are not lucky enough to have it. I'm glad that you have one. But good life and a happy life are very different things. Why don't you try something interesting and adventurous things? Why don't you do something new everyday? Becoming curious can change a lot of things . I experienced a similar thing once . I did a lot of new things and that brought happiness. I did things that increased my curiosity.maybe you should try it. Hope that you have a better one too

sometimes, very little things in life made us upset. they are the outgrowths of our maladaptive thinking patterns. to achieve real happiness we need to get rid of bad thoughts. we can get rid of these thought patterns by simply observing our thoughts. once we observe your thoughts we can identify the thoughts which cause distress. after identification of those negative thoughts, we need to think which of our beliefs give roots to those thoughts. why we think in that way. after identifying the beliefs we can make the counter beliefs which will give way to positive thoughts and in this way we can be happy.
