I shouldn’t have to feel bad for being happy
Why is it that people always have to tear you down when you aren’t unhappy?
All that does is make you hate them and make them even unhappier because another person hates them adding to the already long list of people that hate them.
Who wants to be the guy that makes everyone around them unhappy? You’d be happier if you lifted people up. People would actually want to be around you.
I have to hide any good parts of my life
I have to hide any good parts of my life just in case I make someone else feel bad about themselves.
That’s right, I’m the bad guy if I dare to better myself. I’m not the type to gloat, and it’s not about gloating, it’s about not even casually mentioning you’re doing ok.
People find it rude to mention that you’re doing ok and you’re content with your life, so much so that they’ll come after you if they see you’re happy.
They’ll try and paint you as a bad person and bring you down to their level.
People go out of their way to ruin other's lives
I’ve seen people go far out of their way to “humble” others who’re happy with their life.
