How do I stop seeing everything so negatively? — In general I am a really unhappy person. I have a lot of good things, but all of my instinctual thoughts are negative. If people are too happy around me, I feel irritated. If someone cuts me off in tr…
Yes, I do this myself and see this happen with the guy I'm dating as well. I think it's triggered by positive feelings/increased connection or vulnerability. For me, when we get closer, or when he tel…
Oh my god, I totally relate to this! One of the saddest aspects of my own avoidant tendencies is that, in some ways, I’m even more uncomfortable with intense positive emotions than negative ones. It’s…
When I see others who i think are being too happy I either judge them too or sadly envy them, depending on my mood. Either way, I know it's a me problem. >Anything other than vaguely bored and dissat…
Its cliche to say this but it is true when people say to focus on yourself. They just kind of suck at explaining how. I'm going through a new break up right now and what kept me stuck before the most …

The week after MDMA I usually feel nice but then it dissipates. But LSD numbs me completely. Its kind of wild to me though that people took a look at you and were like "oh no no no you are way too ha…
That stinks, but at least they told you about it. Not for nothing, slim with nice tatas is just about every guy I know's type. Of course a thicc Latina or a petite Asian is too. Either every guy I kn…
I feel this. Constantly feel like if I’m “too happy” there will be a price to pay, and there’s always something. I cry more than I laugh and smile in my family.
My mom literally used to say to me when I was little that “you’ll cry if you laugh too much” so yeah this checks out. It’s like they’re afraid to get too happy or excited…which is sad, but, you know, …
That last sentence is really important. My STBXW’s parents marriage ‘died’ decades ago and they legitimately are only still together because they’re too broke, old, and fat to make it on their own or …
Yes, because of how I was raised, every now and then, I would feel so guilty for being so happy about something. It instills in me that happiness comes with a cost and it makes me feel like, I can be …
Oh so many trauma responses, If someone seems annoyed I assume it's my fault. If i've spoken for more than 30 seconds I get nervous and say sorry I'll shut up, cos i assume no one is interested and t…

Thank you ur right, but I’m just scared of the idea that what if their too happy to be friends and decides to discard me
Getting home from school was always nerve wracking. The question "how was your day?" always felt loaded. If I said I had a good day the reply was a sarcastic "well Im glad someone around here had a go…
No, no I get you. I do have a therapist (Through betterhelp) It's not the absolute best obviously, but it's the best I'm able to get currently. You are right with the mental health, It's something I'v…
Yeah I'd say it's quite normal dumb 23yo guy behavior. He should delete them and it's completely okay to ask that. His exes are probably not too happy that he still has all that stuff on his phone, he…
Not really, but sometimes I have to, I mean sometimes I have to squeeze joy out of myself even though I don't want to, the problem is that I can't be sad because my parents will be angry, but I can't …

Absolutely not allowed to be angry. At all. Ever. Not really allowed to be sad. Couldn't be too happy either.
