Is it normal that my happiness is everyone elses depression?

6 Comments

I can't feel... right unless I am somewhere between apathy and depression. I understand and feel what everyone else's happiness is, but it feels wrong.
The same thing is true for everyone else's sadness. They say that sadness is a heaviness in your heart and they want to do less, which is what I feel when I mean sadness. But while everyone else hates that feeling, and completely lose all motivation, I enjoy that feeling.
Does it matter that I don't enjoy being happy? And if it does, is it normal?

    It's not normal. You shouldn't feel that way.

    I understand wanting to feel melancholic from time to time but how can feeling happy feel..bad?

    I was thinking about this before because I think I'm going through this change of not being as apathetic in my daily life as I used to be and it's not something I'm fond of.

    I don't know if it's normal though. I'd say it's probably not but I could be wrong.

      Just because you can do the work doesn't mean you're gonna enjoy it.

    Maybe it's the state of mind you like, and not the emotion itself.

    I felt this way when I was around the age of 22 when I was strangling cats and dogs to death and setting dumpsters on fire. I'd say it normal, but know it's not.
