Ok, I think I might not be the only one here...
Who doesn't stand to see other people happy when you're not?
I do, man, it's painful, you look around and see a group of people laughing and smiling, when you were fired 5mins ago (not really my case). Or to see a happy couple (straight, homosexual, or bisexual, whatever) and you don't have a pair for more than some weeks, months, even years. It's really good to be the sad guy, in the world where everyone is happy.

P.S.: And that no one gives a **** about you.
 
No, I can stand it.
In fact, I feed of of it.
I don't let other people's happiness affect me negatively, in fact I use it as a vacuum to let my own spirits up. It's like all for one and one for all in my world.
But then again, I'm generally a happy person.
 
nah it doesnt bother me, If im a miserable sod its good too see other people smiling, cuz if they all looked like me when im in a mood(which is very rare)the worls would be dull.
 
But for me...
Man, it's like a intense pain that feels my heart, the desire of seeing those people dead, the desire of having a imidiate nuclear explosion.
 
:O

Well, I can understand why, myself.
I used to have a friend who felt the same way when he was incredibly sad and whatnot. All you need is a little time off and it will wear off, like being on the forums, good choice. :P

Then again, they have their bad days too.
 
Yeah, but my bad days are eternal, and I like to drag people to the bad days
 
I admit to being envious of people in such situations, but it's natural, really.

At one time, you had something. It could be something as small as a piece of jewelry or it could be a person or it could be something like a certain talent or being able to do something like sing in a choir.

When you see another person having/doing those things that you once had/did, it reminds you of when you had/did those things. It makes you miss them and wish you could have it/do it again.
 
Yes, that's exactly it.
But then again, you can't always get tangled up in the past. ^_^
It's safe to reflect upon it, but bringing it into the present is another thing.
 
I get the same. When I am down sometimes...I tend to go outta my way to make whoever's happy around me sad. It's a habit. I just don't like them all laughing and giggling all in my face. =/.
 
Instead of being jealous of other people's happiness why not simply concentrate on your own?
 
Honestly? Its royally pisses me right off when others are mega happy and Im not. The amount of times couples have eaten each others faces in front of me in work, shopping centers or on public transport ... annoys the hell outta me.
 
Hmm. I actually find this 'happy thing for others while I'm angry' thing quite weird. Instead of spreading your unhappiness to others who might actually quite deserve to be happy, why not keep it to yourself?
I don't know.

The world would be a happier place if human nature didn't act this way. :P
 
I hate it when I see people who are happy when I'm not. It just makes me feel worse. It's like they know the secret to eternal happiness and are laughing at me becuase I don't. (I might be exaggerating here...)

Unless it's one particluar person, if they are happy then I can't help being happy too, not matter how much I want to wallow in self-pity. Isn't that nice? :D

Ah yes, especially if you know that person particularly well and you just can't help but be happy in their place. That's quite nice. ^_^

I've always thought it worked the other way though. I thought that unhappiness was drowned whenever in a sea of happiness, but so far I've seen, I guess not. :worried:

Oh lol. I wasn't implying that I hope. :P
I was thinking more along the lines of affecting the mood of your surroundings and whatnot.
 
Lol, I did think for a moment you thought I would lash out at them!

But yeah, I understand what you mean now. I hate when I get like that though. Unhappy at others happiness. I guess jealously is a big part of it.
 
Yeah, I can stand it. They're not me, to tell you the truth I hardly even really pay it any mind. I don't care about some stranger's situation whether its better than mine or not because it has absolutely no bearing on what's going on with me. They're different people, with different needs and wants, in a completely different situation than you. If it helps, try looking at it this way. If you're stuck being single and you see some couple, wonder to yourself if perhaps the other guy with that girl isn't fed up of being chained to her. Maybe he's wishing he had the freedom of being single in the first place (and trust me, it's a damned great freedom at that). That's just one example. Obviously that won't be a possible truth of all situations. For example if you're driving around in some beat up piece of shit that barely runs I doubt the guy in the brand new corvette at the light next to you is going to say "FUCK!!!! Why am I stuck in the 'vette Jesus H. Christ I wish I could have that beat up shitball next to me!" But overall for the most part, just because someone thats in a situation that would be better for you doesn't necessarily mean that its the best for them, just imagine that they might have cause to be envying you, too.

And as far as feeling trapped in a certain kind of situation all I have to say is this; those who wear collars are often the ones who have been holding their own leash all along. Meaning if you're slave to your situation in life, you've also been the master who has been holding you back all along. That kind of shit is all in your mindset. You have the most power to change your own life, because the change starts with your desire to do more than just be miserable about it. You must also have the drive to change it. Even if it's just that, you've taken the first step in the right direction to making a change.
