Why can't I just feel happy?

Depression is an eye that you can see through it the world as its real face, you realize how corrupted the things and how fake the people are.. you finaly discover the fake happiness and you face the worst sadness, just a wasted youth and pretty lies hide that survivors is just who we really are..if you only want to take another "pretty lies" round then please let me tell to be one of the another happy survivors..

that depends on how you define happy , some people are naturally happy people and others need to work at it , this can be for a variety of reasons , not feeling fulfilled or content can leave people feeling unhappy with where they are at in life , sometimes their can be a underlying reason like undiagnosed depression and would need to be treated with medication

It's all in you. If you focus on the positive things in your life I'm sure you'll realize that you're actually can be happy.

Happiness is that which we create ourselves and need not to depend on others action and thoughts....

Sometimes in depression you get stuck and feel isolated and don't want to come out but i reccomend seeing a doctor and therapist.

Happiness is relative, sometimes we all get down for one reason or another. Sometimes we are suffering from a depressive disorder, depending on your symptoms it is best to consult a doctor so you can feel better sooner !

You have to allow yourself to be, not just think it but feel it and let it incorporate throughout the day. Keep it simple and flexible and don't lead your expectations versus your reality, just be content and be grateful always for what you have and enjoy any challenges or changes that maybhappen along the way. ☺

It's okay not to feel happy all the time. Depression can be caused by numerous things. The most important thing is to take care of yourself, and reach out for support during those times of depression.

You can. Happiness and gratitude have been linked in recent studies. People who don't see what they have, will not be as happy, compared to someone acknowledging what they've acquired. In that sense, happiness can be all about perspective. You give someone with a loving family, and regular home, a dollar, their happiness will not be equal to giving a homeless person a dollar. If you look at your daily life, it can simply be you're happy that the bus driver waited the extra 5 seconds for you, or your teacher let you off for not doing your homework. These small gratitudes can equal up to a bigger happiness. You CAN feel happy, you DESERVE to be happy, and just a small change in perspective can allow you to feel happy. If in another case, it is depression, then it's much harder to do so, but possible. Gratitude is just one way.

You are probably feeling overwhelmed by the things that are going on. Take some time to relax and spend some time doing what you like.
