What makes a person sad?

A trigger which varies upon everyone. A random trigger means, it doesn't have to be practically anything. Over time, it will happen. But these can be avoided when found

Sadness is not caused by one overarching thing. Sometimes, it can be due to the loss of something or the realization of something. There is no one thing that can be pinpointed for sadness. The only thing that we truly know is that sadness exists. And it is important for us to know that and accept that sadness is just as important of a feeling as happiness. Being sad isn't the end of the world just like being happy isn't the root of all the problems in the universe. Being sad will happen and it's important to identify the cause (which is different for all) and accept the fact that you are feeling something.

There are so many things that can make a person sad. But the key to being happy is to always see the positivity in things, if you are in a bad situation always try to find the better side of it.

A lot of things csn make a person sad. I'm sad ifI drop my Nutella jar for example. I get really sad, when I see how poorly do people live on Earth or if I see rasism, homophobia, sexism etc.

Loss makes a person sad. Depending on how precious the lost is, sadness can take to different extremes. Sadness can lead you to think life's not worth living ... All you can do to help the sad is, convey that loss is part of life and to step forward without being too attached to things that can be lost.

Sadness can come from all kinds of situations. Sometimes it's from a loss. Other times it's when our expectations exceed our reality. It can even be just a passing mood. Sadness isn't enjoyable, but it does provide a necessary contrast to joy; it can teach us appreciation and gratitude.

Expectations and unhealthy thinking patterns make people sad. The larger the gap between your expectations and your perceived reality, the more sad you will be
