Why do I sometimes enjoy feeling sad?

Sometimes we take comfort in what feels familiar predictable. We can grow used to situations that cause us pain and take comfort in it, even if we know it's bad for us, just because it's what we're used to. We're creatures of habit and sometimes trying something out of the ordinary feels scary and we would rather retreat back to what we know, even if it's feeling sad. Lot's of us might be trying to seek out situations that we have experienced since childhood because it's what we know, it's what we feel comfortable with. It can be really hard to break the cycle. Other people who struggle with feeling nothing at all also may enjoy feeling negative emotions because they believe it's better than feeling nothing at all.

‌Some may feel that sadness can help them from more hardship. They may feel it's better than initially experiencing happiness for nothing but to end in misery. I have noticed people saying don't laugh too much you'll cry. But it's not like that. If that's the case you'll laugh more after you cry right. Don't embrace sadness and fix it. Of course, sadness is a part of life but it shouldn't be the entire part. It's there for us to experience more learnings and happiness. If you feel like this often, please seek help.

Personally, I enjoy the comfort sadness gives me. When I look back at it, sadness has always been an emotion I have had. Even on my best days, there was a point I felt sad. It's comforting knowing that this emotion has stayed with me for so long. Nothing has been with me as long as sadness has. I feel like I have some sort of connection to it. Like no matter what happens, I know my friend sadness will always be by my side. Also, being happy doesn't always feel right. It's like I'm used to the sadness. Being happy doesn't fit my personality as much as the sadness does. Anyways, I hope any of you who are struggle know I love you and it will get better

Sadness, I believe, can become a part of us at times. It doesn't define a person, but it can cast a shadow over them. Change is something we don't enjoy as humans. People who suffer from depression and sadness spend so much time in that gloomy area that it nearly feels like home. We enjoy the sameness and the twisted comfort it provides. We may believe that we deserve to be sad at times. We can't wait to wallow in our misery and let off steam. Sadness has an almost seductive quality to it. this is just my perspective of the question.

When viewed in a healthy way, sadness is evidence of the depth being human. People aren't just one emotion all the time; sadness can be a time of reflection. We are more in touch with who we are when we feel low. So there is nothing wrong with sometimes enjoy feeling sad. The Bible even backs this up and even encourages the merits of being sad and what we can learn from that period of feeling low. You don't even need to be a Christian to agree with the basic principle this passage conveys: "Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure." -Ecclesiastes 7:3-4

I think sometimes people like to be sad, and being sad makes people feel more comfortable and they are embracing the emotions they might be feeling. I think sadness is a form of self-pity and you know, people love to be sorry for themselves. It is always good to see a medical doctor for a full physical workup when feeling mentally or physically out of sorts. Sometimes feeling sad is natural, and many come on with no specific cause, but other time it's not. One possible cause of the persistent of the sad feeling could be depression-not knowing the source of that emotions can be upsetting it is important to know that your feelings are valid. It's also important to pay attention to that feeling and investigate where it's coming from.

Feeling sad helps your brain think about the world, also it gives a flashback of your memories, it helps us remember our childhood, it helps us remember the times we faced problems in your life and we were able to solve it or remember the process of solving it. Feeling sad often also just helps us look at the world a bit more closely and just feel the small-small things in the world which we normally miss and when we think about it, it brings us joy. This applies to me personally and I am not sure if this applies to everyone else too.

Because feeling sad is sometimes a reminder that we are alive. It allows us to feel the emotion in a very intense way and also in a way we can release everything we are carrying on our shoulders. Feeling sad can be very comforting because you allow yourself to be vulnerable to your surroundings and life experience. There is nothing wrong with enjoying those moments of sadness; we need to be sad, equally as we need to be happy from time to time. Sadness also makes us appreciate a bit more the moments of enjoyment and happiness. It is an emotion that allows us to reflect on memories, experiences, ourselves, and the people surrounding us, and that is important because we live in a rushed world, and we sometimes need those times of insight. So sadness can help you feel, think, sometimes grow, and sometimes simply experience the mere comfort of being sad.
