I get depressed by seeing other people's happiness. Is this normal?!
Question: I get depressed by seeing other people's happiness!. Is this normal!?
I dunno!. Like seeing a couple hold hands, when someone scores a perfect score on a test, when someone has their favorite dish for dinner, etc!. For some reason it makes me feel sad, even if it's none of my business or I don't have a reason to be depressed about it (such as if I don't want or need something, I scored perfect too, that isn't my favorite dish, etc!.)!. It makes me want to sit somewhere alone and listen to Hawthorne Heights!.
Is this normal!? I figure it isn't, but I could be wrong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
In this crazy world of ours, what is normal!? I would not worry about your behavior being normal or not!. Many people get jealous or depressed when they see couple's holding hands or people going out and having a good time!.
As we go through school or begin a job, one of the messages we are getting is to compete with others!. Everytime you watch TV, you see commercials saying, more or less, that buying their product will make you happy!.
Beneath these ads and competition is the hidden message to compare yourself with others!. Be as happy or successful as other people seem to be!. Just because someone is enjoying a great meal or they are out on a date does not always mean they are happy!. They may be enjoying that date or whatever, but the next day they may be feeling sad!. Many times when we think others are happy, it may not be true!. It may just be our interpretation!.
Sorry, it sounds like I am lecturing you!. However, I am just trying to be helpful!. If you find that this feeling of jealousy or depression is an ongoing issue, you might want to discuss it with a counselor or therapist!. Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

in some situations it is, because you wish for this sort of happiness for yourself, such as seeing a couple hold hands!. Other times, like when someone scores a perfect score on a test, is normal but most likely you become depressed as an effect of being disappointed for yourself at not scoring higher and because of the jealousy you hold against that person because of it!.

It's a sign of clinical depression!. It doesn't mean that you're a freak or anything like that -- millions of people become depressed!. I would really recommend discussing this with a doctor, and setting up appointments with a therapist!.
If they suggest anti-depressants, don't let them give you Effexor until you've tried several other kinds first and haven't had any success!. Just a heads up -- Effexor is being passed out like candy these days, even though it can have some pretty nasty side effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

could be a couple of things!. could be that your parents were very sensitive when u were little and if you felt a little sad about anything, they would try to make u feel better and in that it could have become an attention getting habbit without even knowing!. or it could be that you've had a series of unacheivements of various sorts, and now feel the pinch!. find small tiny things that make u and only u happy and find ways to do those things regularly!. even if it's something small like playing 5min video games or just smelling the roadside flowers on your way to the car!.!.!.!. just do it regularly then build on such things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hehe!. I think I know what you mean!. Happens to me too!. It could be that your just sad because that isnt happening to you!. Or that you dont get the credit for some stuff you do!. The same happens to me when I listen to my favorite band--The Beatles!. Dont get me wrong, i love listening to them, but I guess I feel sad because I wasnt around when they were!. Or that I myself would want to become as big as them, but its nearly impossible!. I dont like to think im a jelouse person, but I can get jelouse sometimes!. Do you know where im going with this!? lol!. If you have any questions, just ask me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, to be honest,(not trying to discourage you or be rude) it is a little un normal!. i can understand being sad, maybe by couples or jelously, but favorite dishes!? or grade scores!? maybe you should go to a doctor!. get some meds, maybe your bipolar!. the meds could get your emotions on track!. maybe an anti-deppressent!. go to a doctor ASAP get some prescribed medications for your sadness, you'll feel betterWww@Answer-Health@Com
take joy in the accomplishments of others and you will have loads of friends!.
comparisons are hard on you and the person being compared with!.
This attitude is called being very shallow!.
Having a "big" heart means to enjoy the success of others!.
Life isn't all about you or your concerns!.
Life will happen even if your aren't in the room!.
You can step outside of yourself and see things in a new lightWww@Answer-Health@Com
