  • The thing about fooling yourself into being happy is that it actually works.

    There are many times I do something I'm not in the mood for and I force myself to have fun, but when I do I even fool myself.

    If I were to do fun things and give into being in a bad mood then I would just be pissed off all the time.

    But if I make myself have a good time then I not only fool others that I am having a good time, but I can even trick myself.

    Emotions are often a self fulfilled prophecy.

    I'm not sure if it works like this for everyone, but it does for me.

    • I think your method might work for shaking the blues off that tend to get to most people once in awhile, but for people who are severely depressed, there's no energy to pretend anything.
