do you ever feel glad you arent the only one?

Catherine Wheel · 12-07-2007, 11:40 PM

Do you ever just feel glad that you arent the only person who is suffering? Instead of feeling sorry for someone you are actually happy that you're not the only one going through some shit. Its not selfish. It's just comforting to know you are in the same boat. It seems like sometimes the only way to find happiness is by measuring the pain of those around you.

STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME THINK ABOUT FEELINGS AND STUFF.

i'm not really suffering but yes when you feel crap it can be good to know.

happiness is relative, like most things.

What kind of trickery is this?

not at all. i'm a happy person. and when i see others suffering i want to do the best i can to help them to Feel Better.

if seeing another in pain makes you happy you are Very out of Balance. the Goal is Happiness for Everyone. if you Feel Happy inside you always want to share that with people.

so you should get yourself happy CW because only you know what makes you happy and only you can give it to yourself! honestly there are so many nice things to be happy about it is endless. God gave us so much to be happy about!

try saying 10 nice things to random people to brighten their day. force yourself even if you feel weird. watch them smile when you say the nice thing. and then notice how you feel inside. you'll want to keep doing it because it makes you feel so good. and then you'll start noticing nice things you never saw before because you were too grouchy to bother to notice. and then Thank God for all the beauty in your life and that you are alive. and then experience your happiness start radiating out of you and live this way everyday while you are alive!

the fact that others were suffering when i was suffering didn't make me feel better at all. i just wanted to stop being one of the people who were suffering.

When I've been really bad off, I was so wrapped up in my head that very little was comforting, I probably wouldn't even have taken much account into others' feelings. Which is really selfish, but I just don't want to feel like that, and when I do it really takes over. Like dean said, at those points I just want to be not suffering anymore. It's hard to get past yourself sometimes when you get to a certain point.

She'll probably never realise how much damage she is doing. Her deluge of platitudes drown any real emotional content she might try to convey and it boils down to a mocking air of superiority.

dean_r_koontz · 12-08-2007, 01:21 PM

i think she weights the pros and cons of her behaviour. on one henad: she knows that the people who are incapable of enjoying the the god thing will find her irritating and childish. on the other: perhaps one or two might be able to use her cognitive techniques to feel like they're on crack 24/7, which outweighs the pain she causes.

no, unless someone actually lets me into their life and i know for a fact we are going through the same things, thats yet to happen

BlissedandGone2 · 12-08-2007, 05:54 PM

when im depressed i hate when people tell me about their problems. it doesnt counter it. it adds to it. if my friends are sad, that makes me even worse. theres no reason for someone else suffering to make me feel good. thats sick.

i dont think he meant it as, "haha, it sucks to be you!" sort of way, but more in the, because a friend actually feels this way, i dont feel so lonely anymore, at least someone understands.

hnibos · 12-08-2007, 08:27 PM
