Is it normal to not let myself be happy?

50% Normal
4 Comments

Whenever I feel like I want something or someone or whatever, I inmediately convince myself it's never gonna happen. I tell myself I don't deserve to have anything nice or to have fun or to be loved. I struggle with these feelings constantly but I usually just end up hating myself for it. I never try anything anymore because I fear my subconscious will be right and I'll just be dissappointed. Why can't I just let myself take risks and be happy?

    look im not a pro but i got a few words for you.

    I think this is actually very common and is why i chose normal
    now im not sure how you were brought up or raised but often times why people feel so insecure and wrong is because as they were growing up those who were to repressent safety and pride brought them down for whatever reason or they simply didnt allow them to witness such things as love and self importance now i say to you from a somewhat personal point that if you continue to cage yourself life will forever remain liveless i beg you to live life and take risks now that said im not telling you to be reckless but do try new things we never realize how great we are and that we truly do desserve to be happy but we all do and we all are great i say you focus on what makes you great what makes you a good person do you care for others? do you wish the best for others? if so those are some good traits there but if you are unable to go out of your own way to live do see a pro :)

    I feel the same way sometimes. I can laugh at something and then immediately think to myself I don't deserve to laugh for whatever reason and I just stop laughing.

    Though I haven't had these feelings for a while now so have hope it'll go away :)

    See a professional because If you don't try new things or take risks in life, you may always wonder what could have been.

    Sounds like you're a bit insecure. Besides saying useless clichés, a lot of people, including myself, can't give you any decent advice. Maybe see a professional?
