To not want to be happy?

Is it normal to not want to be happy?

I somehow enjoy being miserable. I've tried to be happy and cheery, but it doesn't feel right. I've had a depressing life, maybe I'm just not used to it?

I just don't really see the point in working so hard for something like happiness.

Am I totally messed up? Is it normal to feel like this?

Is It Normal?

    It makes you happy by not being happy. Makes sense to me.

    I feel like if I'm not depressed then I'm losing touch with reality.

    yeah i feel the same way. do u have depression? i've had it for 11 years and i am always sad or down. when i'm happy i don't feel like myself. all i can say is just be happy being your miserable self.

    You know what? I feel the same way as you. I've been miserable so long that it seems strange to be happy. I've come to realize LIFE SUCKS!!! Nothing you can do about it. It just plain sucks.

    when me and my boyfriend broke up i was very depressed. after a while of feeling this way, i started to almost enjoy it. i just thought that's how i would feel for the rest of my life.. it is who i am now. it's easier to be sad than happy. when you are sad/depressed, it's hard to be disappointed in life because you don't expect much to begin with. and disappointment SUCKS. however, being optimistic is definitely healthier. how you feel is normal.

      oooh... oh. that's sad.
      not meaning to offend or anything but from a point of view of someone who... isnt anything.

      that's a sad way of living. but atleast you're happy!
