Is it normal to not want to get better?

Yes. Familiarity, no matter how damaging, can be more comfortable than change, no matter how positive. Also, relationships are bound to change as you get better. Sometimes the threat of a relationship ending because of positive growth can make people fearful of continuing to make positive changes. But take heart! Getting better means that you will be in a better position to deal with any perceived negative or positive changes in your relationships (even the one with yourself). So, recognize the resistance to making positive changes and make them anyways. The one surefire way to make the world a better place is to be a better person in it.

After some time, we start to see our more unhealthy state as being normal and is something that we are used to. Any kind of change can be scary, especially when we're unsure of what comes next. It is completely normal to feel the way you do! But the important thing to do is to take a step forward anyways, no matter how small.

I would say that it's normal for many people not to want to change the things that are issues in their lives. I have noticed many people just want to find a quick fix to all of their problems, and they are not willing to do any long-term work on themselves to change their situation. In order to get better, I believe that anyone has to look at what is going wrong in their lives. I think many people are not willing to do this. Sometimes the idea of somebody having to look in the mirror and consider that maybe their actions are causing issues, they will just not do it. Maybe people want to get better, but I think it's normal for people to want to stick with their ways. But, like I said, if we stick to the things that keep us sick, we will NEVER get better.

There is no "normal." But the feeling of not wanting to get better comes from the comfort level one feels in a place that one is used to, simply from having spent so much time in that emotional place. For many of us, remaining how we are is much safer and more comfortable because it is familiar. Changing would mean leaving a comfort zone. The phrase "the devil you know" is a reference to the fact that it is easier to stick with an unpleasant circumstance that you already know than to change and take a chance on the unknown, even if it is likely to be better.

Sorry, but not it is not. Not wanting to get better means that you will turn worse, and It is not fair for yourself and your beloved ones. Not getting better means you are used to your current situiation and that is even worse cuz it tells that right now in your perspective you can not find a difference line between the good situiation and the bad one. I know seeking for help can be embarassing and hard and the beginning, and healing journey could be long, but it worth the Try and the effort. Think that you always deserve the better, you deserve healthy and succesful life, respectful and safe relationship, happy family, understanding friends. You deserve a high quality life. Fight for it.

Everything has cycles. We have times when we just want to relax and times where we are really active. These should be in a balance that is fine with you. I think permanent not-growing is impossible since life will always give you things to grow on, maybe you just dont realize. If that's the case think how you were with 5, 15 and 25 years. Did you change over the course of the years or not? If so, you became most likely a better version of yourself. Extreme lazyness can be an indicator that you didnt find your true goal in life. Maybe you just run around in circles because you haven't found your purpose. Life wants to show you that you need to change something, that is a function of boredom. On the other hand if you did find your purpose and enjoy doing it, I see no hard need to get better. If your emotions are joyful, happy and loving, why would you want to change anything? Try seeing that a lot of this "becoming better" also comes from society. I see growing as one of the biggest treasures we have in life. It is more or less my purpose and way. Especially by growing mentally you will improve your life easier than you thought. What used to be a problem is not one anymore just by changing your mindset. On a side note, there is no "normal". Everyone is individual, and you decide how to live your life ☼

Yes, it's normal to feel this way. Your feelings are perfectly valid. Sometimes, though, our feelings of "not wanting to get better" stem from fearing things "will never get better" no matter what we want. Sometimes it's easier to trick our minds into thinking we want all this negativity, so it feels like we're in control of the situation. Again, it's perfectly ok to feel this way. And you have every right to experience it for as long as you need to. Your emotions are the most natural part of life. They come and go like wind or rain. The most important thing to remember is that nothing is permanent. There are thousands of people waiting with open arms to catch you when you fall. If you're feeling down, if you feel like the bad things will never end, always remember help is a heartbeat away. All you have to do is ask.

It is normal, especially for an individual who has a mental illness. For example, having an eating disorder or an anxiety disorder like OCD, an individual may not want to get better as these disorders are familiar to them and make them feel safe and in control. All mental disorders can make an individual feel this way, because of the above or simply because you may be scared of what getting better means or involves. You may feel like you may not want to change the way things are going because of things happening at home or simply because of stigma in which is an extremely powerful thing. Sometimes talking to someone about how we are going and feeling doesn't necessarily mean getting better, it just means talking about what is happening to us.

I understand how it feels not wanting to get better because every second you spend in this 'place' makes it comfier and it just becomes your home if that makes any sense, but i want you to know that things can get better and feel better! You should be the change and allow yourself to at least try to be happy!! Doesn't it sound better being happy that forever staying in this darkl sad place? Next time you think about staying where you are at now, think about how much better it could be. Hope this helped at least somehow.

Sometimes people can feel “comfortable” with how they feel. I often describe feeling comfortable with being sad. You may not like change, and that’s okay. Not wanting to “get better”, can be very common, but it is not always the best thing. You should tell someone you trust about this feeling. What you are feeling is valid, and understandable. We all need to get better at some point, and change isn’t always a bad thing. Change can be amazing and wonderful, and it could change your life for the better, and for the good. I hope this helped you understand, and please, be kind to yourself.
