I find it helps to do a run down of obvious physical things that could be causing me to feel like nothing cheers me up: do I need food, sleep, exercise or to chat to a friend? Have I taken any medication I'm on? Then I move to asking myself if I'm having unusual stress - problems in work, family, health, that explains why I may be feeling low. If I find a reason, I can acknowledge that it's reasonable to feel low under stress and do something caring for myself. If I can't find any obvious reason and it doesn't pass within a day or so, I'd start considering talking to a doctor and investigate whether there might be a clinical reason for it.

Eventually you will find something or someone that makes you happy, don't lose hope. The moment you lose hope everything seems so out of reach, choose to be happy.
It comes back to the question of where you find your happiness. Your happiness is your responsibility and no one else's. Wise versa others happiness is not your responsibility its theirs. Look for happiness in the small things that matters rather than the big things that doesn't.

I will create a new things that help me to be happy, i won't give up will keep trying to please myself
There is always hope. You have made the decision to do something about it and you have acted on it. So, you are in the right direction. Talk about it and make sure that you stay motivated. Go to a gym if you don't already do that. Make sure that you have a great support system from people that you know well.
Spend time with little kids. They can make you happy with their cute and genuine smiles. I hope this helps.

How can it not? Things we see are not what we see if is just how you house to see. Surrounding yourself with sunshine people and things may help.
If nothing make us feel happy anymore then we try to engage in other interesting activities rather then our daily routine work...😃

Start looking into new experiences Find a new hobby to try or go to new places with friends & Family
Impossible!! Theirs a world full of possibilities! And you just haven't got to yours yet. So please stay for it to happen.
thats not true, you can find something! lots of people when the experience low mood get a feeling of pointlessnesses and being bored. It wont be forever!
Then you are probably having some depressive symptoms and you should focus on dealing with that first. Deal with the source first, deal with the rest later.
Try doing something that makes others happy like your parents, friends or any one needy.This will give you a unique sense of happiness that is rewarding in nature and will make you feel proud of yourself and will help decreasing negativity.
That is never true. You may have not found something that makes you happy out there, but you will find it!
Nothing can make us feel happiness. It comes from inside that we feel happiness for something :-) :-)

I would find new interests or no people to go around. Have a day to really figure out who you are and why you are really here on this planet. That would make me find myself again and be happy.
There's billions of things that have the sole purpose of making people happy. I get happy watching Doctor Who, sure it makes me sad too but it's a TV show and that's how they work. There's something or someone out there who will help you to feel happy again. Giving up isn't going to help them find you. I'm sorry if that wasn't the answer you're looking for. But even I haven't found the thing that makes me completely happy. Someday I will. Someday you will too.

If you feel like nothing makes you feel happy you just haven't found that one thing that's worthy of making you feel the happiest you've ever felt!
If nothing is making you feel happy lately, that can mean that you need to look for new things to do, to set as goals and to achieve. There's no harm on trying new activities, new hobbies, new people, etc.
If nothing makes you feel happy anymore there might be an underline cause for it such as depression. But don't let that get you down continue to look for things to make you happy.
This world is so huge that there is always something new to expirence. Happiness can be expirenced.

Find out what is making you feel this way and work towards finding a solution to cope with it. You can also try to find something that makes you happy and over the moon, just find it.
Then,I suggest that you see a psychiatrist,as you are more than likely to suffer from depression.You see,life is beautiful,you may not be able to see it right now,but I promise you that when you get help,you will be able to see how blue the waters are and how green the trees are.
Then you should find something that does make you happy! Try and look for a passion or someone who makes you happy :)

Usually there Will be one thing that can intrigue us to excitement,but in rare and odd case like what mentioned in the question ,we must not give up HOPE!.
If you find things you enjoy no longer fulfill you, it may be time to seek professional help. Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy and no longer feeling satisfaction from your relationships can be signs of depression.
Happiness or being happy is a journey. As long as you are well, that is the most important thing. Searching for happiness or being happy is not easy. It's a long process but it's worth the trouble going through hurdles just finding something you're happy with.

If this happens, then one should seek professional help, a psychiatrist and a therapist. If nothing is done at this stage, it could just snowball into something much worse and be that much harder to treat.

There is always something good to look forward to. If you can just find one thing each time you feel sad, you will see all the things that truly make you happy.
You have to get your emotions out to move on. It's okay that you aren't happy, and i know that it hurts so badly. But someday you're going to feel that spark of joy again. For now, try something new, and figure out why you're upset
