What's the point of happiness if I don't want it?

You may not want happiness because you have never felt it or because you are scared about having it and then losing it again. If you knew that you could always have happiness, would you want it? If you answered yes, than you should know that happiness is worth fighting for but that happiness doesn't mean you won't have troubles along the way. Happiness is a state of mind and has nothing to do with the conditions of our lives. Happiness will come as you find a "why" for living. When you put your whole heart into helping other people in any capacity, you will feel happiness start to creep into your life and it will be so wonderful that you will never want to look back!

When we are in a difficult place and maybe we have been sad or down for a long time, this place can begin to feel really comfortable. This place is something we know well, we know it inside and out. But when we think of happiness, it can feel so far off and maybe you are not comfortable with its unpredictability. Maybe you are afraid that if you allow yourself to truly be happy, then something bad will happen and you will go back to this familiar sad place, I don't know. But what I have learnt is that if you cannot be happy, that is okay, but I try to be joyful every day. You may question how different happiness and joy really are. Well, I feel like happiness is a state of joy, yes, but where you are not as pressured by life and an emotion to our situation. Joy on the other-hand, I feel is a choice. You can choose to be joyful even if you feel like your world is crumbling under your feet. You can choose to look at the day with a joyous and grateful heart, aware that bad things may happen, but choosing to enjoy every moment of good, and search for the good, even amidst the bad. So maybe today, don't aim for happiness (though is you can, do it) maybe find a contentment in life; learn to become neutral of your life. You cannot just wake up one day and be happy with everything and who you are, it is a progress. Before we can be happy we need to not be sad, or down, we need to become content. And may I ask that you keep a gratitude journey and enter into every day, even if what you are thankful feels small. And when a bad day hits, read over it and see everything in your life that is good and that does bring you happiness. You may find that happiness isn't as far away as you once thought. Never be afraid to reach out, I am here for you. Best of luck.

You do want it, but you're too stuck in your depression to see it. You still love your demons. You probably want something to complain about. You probably see no solution to anything. You probably don't want help. You probably don't want help so you can give up and give into your demons. You probably tend to see things as black and white. Consequently, these is known as all or nothing thinking. The world is a beautiful place if you choose to see it. Think positive thoughts instead of negative ones. See the world as a positive place. Good luck.

It's a very tough question and i have never seen something like this :O. I started thinking. I want to ask you this question so that may be you will think in these lines. What's the point of only being sad? Why don't you want both happiness and sadness? We all want to be content with what we have and it's important we feel peaceful with what we have and what we do. Mentally our brain releases certain hormones based on the feelings we get and it's important that you find some joy or life in things. So ask the same question in different way to see what stops you from not wanting to feel sadness and happiness? Or is there any-other emotion you want to feel?

You may feel you don’t want it, but you need it. Everyone needs happiness to go through life and thrive. The point of happiness is to feel like you belong, the point of happiness is to have a purpose in life and everyone deserves it. No body says they want happiness, but everyone deserves it. Happiness may be a feeling, a person or even a place but once you truly feel happiness, you won’t see that you want it, you will see that it makes your life better and that you were missing out all this time. You deserve happiness, whether you want it or not.

Happiness is a such a great feeling. Out of all the wide range of emotions this one brings joy. It is a feeling many people strive for all their life to achieve. Everyone has different ideas and concepts of what their happiness is. I think any thoughts of not wanting to feel such great things stems from the fear of it being taken away as life is uncertain. I think some people would rather avoid feeling happy because to have felt it and then suddenly be striped of it causes devastation. But I believe that it's best to accept to have felt happy and accept that feelings are fleeting and even fluctuate.

Even if you feel that happiness is not am emotion that is something you want or deserve or need now, it CAN be helpful for people to know that having access to a wide range of emotions can be a healthy part of a "emotional diet." Every emotion, no matter how painful, has a purpose, and happiness is no different. Happiness may not be something that you think you want now, but you might in the future. It is difficult to sustain yourself on only a diet of one or two emotions. Being able to experience a wide range of emotions can put you in touch with aspects of yourself that you didn't think were possible.

The point of happiness is to show you that life can be good sometimes! You will learn to appreciate those happy times even if they don't happen often. You deserve to be happy! Happiness is something you can choose to embrace and live out. Sometimes happy things can happen during times when we don't feel like we deserve because of our situation. However, happiness is a blessing and can make our situation feel a little brighter. Happiness is part of us and cannot be singled out altogether, it happens to people when they reach their goals or have a fun time. It can be periodic or continuous but either way, it helps people understand that we should appreciate life because we deserve to.

Happiness is a good thing that laugh and smile that makes your check hurt is the best feeling especially when you around the people you care and love. How would you not want it? If you want to feel happiness you’ll just feel horrible and alone and no one likes feeling that way. Being a happy person is always god because sometimes it’ll bring a smile to someone’s face & make their day if they are feeling down. There’s so much to life and outside to make you smile. Find someone you feel comfortable with and laugh and smile as much and hard as you can.

I understand that feeling. Is there something that makes you not want happiness? Is there something inside you, perhaps a feeling, that is causing you to not want it? Some might not seek happiness because they don’t think they deserve it. I’ve felt like I don’t deserve to be happy at all many times. There was a set of feelings attached to why I felt this way. Is there anything you feel you need to resolve? Perhaps professional help could help you to find and understand these feelings better. Sometimes it’s really hard for ourselves to see what is bothering us at the core.
