Anyone Else Having Trouble Being Happy for Other People?
I find it hard to be happy for others. I think it’s a type of jealousy but I truly want to feel genuine happiness for the people I care about. It’s very frustrating and it has put a toxic strain on my mental health. Anyone else had this problem?

Hello!
I think many people can relate to having an envious feeling sometimes.
I think it’s a normal human emotion at times.
As
long as it doesn’t cause any harm, I don’t see the issue. 💛✨
Thank you for being so understanding! 😊

I believe when a person is suffering a lot, feels unwell it can be hard to be happy for others. How do you feel about it when you are relaxed and did enough self care?
When I’m relaxed? I feel ok. I still feel a bit jealous but I still have some happiness for whoever is celebrated.
@carefulPenny2572 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, with us.
@carefulPenny2572 Hi. Yes I have experienced this before. What I found was I was able to be happy for others and it made me very happy to do so. I would encourage you to check out “loving kindness meditation”. The name of that mediation practice puts a lot of people off. But it kind of had the effect of teaching me how to love myself more, and in turn love others more. Sharon Salzburg is someone to google for more info if you’re interested.
@carefulPenny2572 So sorry to hear this.
It can happen sometimes.
I think anyone can have issues with being happy.
Am I happy all the time?
No, but most of the time I am.
I thing I am in the majority, when I say "I am happy most of the time, but not all the time."
I hope this answers your question.
@Happy900 Correction I think.
