Why can't I find the same joy in things that other people do?

Because we're all unique, and different. We all like different things depending on your personality, and it's totally okay to find joy in things other people don't. It makes you special, it's not wrong.

Not being able to find joy in normal things and living life as though in a monotone is a sign of depression. Once you get help for whatever else is bothering you, you will find that the joy in things will slowly come back.

Maybe because you see the things differently than they do. Like for eg you are those people are walking on a road together, on the same road you see people fighting and blood everywhere while those people with you are seeing flowers by the side of the road and a girl gently plucking them to give them to a young boy next to her. Or maybe its just that your interests are different, like some people like reading novels while others find watching movies exciting.

Everybody is different and what somebody may like, you may hate. This a part of our personalities. Don't feel bad about being unique!

Because everyone is different! You are just a unique person, and many smart, beautiful people don't find joy in the "normal" things!

not everyone is going to enjoy all of the same things. Everyone is different and likes to do different things. Do what you enjoy doing, it's the key to happiness.

You are your own individual person. Be proud of your different interests. It's what makes you who you are.

Every individual finds happiness and satisfaction in different things. You may not find the joy in that specific thing, but in other things you find the joy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Everyone has their own pleasures and emotions. It's entirely okay to not like "normal" things and to enjoy different things. For example, I love the rain and hate the sun light. There's nothing wrong with you for that, just take joy in the things that you do like!

The way we find happiness is different for everyone, but sometimes the things that make us happy change over time too.
