Why Am I So Melancholy? by UyaiIncomparabl(f): 1:47pm On Dec 20, 2019
I am never happy. For every reason I have/find, I'm just always happy and content with my sadness. I always find a reason to be downcast and burdened. I'm very skeptical about everything/everyone around me. I carry scars of everything I have seen and see; pain, sadness, disaster, sickness, death etc. I wear on the gloom and doom of a hundred persons. I can't even say if I'm a sadist.

I constantly seek the meaning of life, the reason of my existence, and as soon as I can't find the meaning, I pass aggression or get mad at myself. I don't have trouble building relationships with others, but I don't strive to build them anyway. I don't like people. I have a huge difficulty fitting into the norms of the society. Could it be that I'm not in the right society for me to be appreciated?

I strive to make friends but I cut them off before they even come close. I'm a realist but people misunderstand it as pessimism.

I'm a very good, ambitious, nice, lovable, generous and approachable person, but people scare me. There's no real love in the world. I have a fairly good life to be thankful for. I have good people around me too, thankfully, but I'm still not happy.

I have a stable job. A fairly good business by the side. I have a good shelter above my head, in school and enough food to eat, in fact, I have totally everything to make the average young adult happy. On here, people might mistake me to be an outgoing and bubbly personality, but in real life, I'm not that. I only come here to have fun, and out of here, feel miserable.

I'm not even passionate about what I even do. I have a job but I don't enjoy it. I just love to be by myself and still get angry for being by myself. In turn, I'm called non-challant.

I'm very passionate about the arts, fashion, poetry, academics, but I lack the right motivation to forge with these things. I usually am very immersed in my emotions to do anything reasonable. In totality, I'm just a sad person.


Is there a help to combat recurrent melancholic symptoms? Do other people feel this way? Am I okay?

There is something I detest in this life ; PLACING UNDUE PREMIUM ON MONEY..

Which I think is the root of your predicament.
My thoughts are with Oga greatresearcher, I pray you won't poison him one day.

Sounds like depression.

Unfortunately we live in a world where people are ashamed to admit that they feel sad and miserable. They feel it makes you look weak, boring and vulnerable. So we carry fake smiles on our faces on the outside because we don't want to pollute the 'happy' air around us.

What you don't know is that almost everyone you see looking happy all the time are also faking it like you.

And so we keep feeling disconnected and alone in the world, because we can't truly connect with others emotionally on a deeper level.

I'm not surprised judging from your aggressive and sadistic position on issues, especially your pro feminism and anti-men stance.

Many people feel same way. Many Feminist feel exactly how you feel.my Dear sister. When we tag feminists as bitter, aggressive and sad people, some of you think we were just being insulting.

The first step to receiving help is recognising your deficiency (which you just did).

The next step is to change your views on certain issues that only aggregate your sadness- one of such is the madness called feminism, so that your heart can be opened to give and receive true love and friendship.

Re: Why Am I So Melancholy? by cococandy(f): 3:05pm On Dec 20, 2019
Occasional sadness is healthy and can occur from experiences that happen to you or when you empathize with someone who’s having a hard time. It just shows you have a well developed emotional aspect.

But you shouldn’t always be feeling this way. It does sound like depression as mindfulness stated. Maybe you strive to stay sad because you’re afraid if you’re too happy, it might come crashing and leave you disappointed.

You need to seek the help of a professional. No one on NL can be really helpful to you except to advice you to seek help. The rest will just make fun of you.

Tonye, stop being a clown. I'm a feminist and there's nothing wrong with that. I do not take upon that word just to battle with the superiority of men. I'm a respecter of people; men and women alike. Also, I treat people the way they treat me. So, when I give constructive criticisms, don't see it as hating on men. Not everyone should be sentimental like you.

You are not ready to help your situation my sister because there is NO WAY you can be a feminist and not be sadistic, aggressive, bitter and angry.

Yea, wrong crowd.

Type your symptoms on the google search button, and you will find plenty resources online. There are many people that are like you on sane forums that are equipped to help you. It could also be you’re living in a wrong society, when you’ve a very different ideology from the huge majority, it can be very depressing. Probably there isn’t something wrong with you, you just need to be with like minded people.

P.S. you’re not a sadist, sadists derive pleasure from other people’s suffering.

You fit all the symptoms. Chronic melancholia is the disease of those with above average IQ. You can't bond, form no deep friendships, see everyone as shallow, no one understands you and you get bored easily at work school, marriage and play. You just have to learn to live with it.

Sorry. Everything comes at a price.
