Why do I sometimes enjoy feeling sad?

Have you ever heard the phrase: "its better to feel something than nothing at all"? I find it to be very true. Even if we're feeling down, it can be refreshing to be in touch with our emotions.

Feeling sad isn't always a bad thing! In fact, sometimes being sad or even crying allows us to be introspective and thoughtful in a way that we may not normally be while happy or neutral. Moments of sadness also help us to appreciate the good things that we have in our life.

Sometimes, we like to embrace sadness. It gives us an excuse to be away from people, away from everyone. We get to cry and be honest about what we feel. We don't want to stop feeling this way because if we do, we won't have that "excuse" anymore. Also, this is part of depression and the lack of motivation one may feel.

Sometimes feeling sad can feel comfortable to people who have felt sad for a very long time. If you've become accustomed to feeling sad it can feel like an emotion you can depend on. As in, "no matter how happy I can get sometimes, I know that I'll always be sad." It's a toxic way of thinking because you trust yourself to feeling sad and it feels like a rollercoaster if you ever end up happy. But you have to remember that your thoughts and actions have consequences and if you keep thinking this way then you'll only end up feeling sad in the end. I say take the "leap" to work on becoming happy, because yes, it's going to be hard and it's going to feel like a rollercoaster but you can also become accustomed to feeling happy. I believe in you and I know that you'll be truly happy once you work on it.

Sometimes feeling sad feels comfortable. It's what we know. We're comfortable with what we know. Feeling sad sometimes feels like we aren't lying to ourselves for once. In reality, there is no truth or lie in either depression or happiness. They simply just are. There are plenty of reasons why people sometimes enjoy feeling sad.

Actually I personally feel that feeling sad is someway really common.. Is okay to feel sad , we cant be happy always.. Well enjoying sadness is a bit difficult to explain, You need to understand that sometimes we do need to vent out our feelings, our emotions even if its sadness.. :)

When we've been sad for too long, sadness becomes a comfortable place for us. We get used to it and we're scared to get out of it. We are afraid of the unknown and since we've kept wandering around sadness' place, we are afraid of going any further. Everybody is afraid of the unknown. You also might feel that you deserve this sadness, but it's not like that. Everybody deserves smiles and happiness.

For me, it's the only emotion I can feel without being ashamed of it. I can't feel love, fall in it, or accept it because it makes me feel so uncomfortable. Like I'm not allowed to feel that way. And it's like this with all the other emotions. Plus, I think it's because I have time to grieve over my issues.

Sometimes feeling sad is better than feeling nothing at all. It's okay to feel sad sometimes, and maybe the reason why you enjoy it is because it fills in a void you have. Letting out emotions and tears is good for you to make room for feelings of happiness and love.

Being sad may feel "normal" if you've dealt with it for awhile. Often, you don't want to allow your self to be happy or feel any emotion because it's out of your comfort zone.
