It doesnt make me as sad as it used to but ever since i started working minimum wage jobs I’ve noticed certain employees start having problems with my happy and cheerful attitude at work. Its like they dislike happiness. I just dont get why they react so negativity about my happy vibes. I suppose they dont understand the value and great power of pursuing happiness. I get that things could be better and it’d be nice to get paid $40 an hour or even be a business man but things could be much worse too. And thats where perspective plays a big role in how i feel. I could be unemployed and struggling with money. And even then there’s worse situations than this. I could be stuck in a warzone in my own country like some innocent people are in Syria. I don’t worry too much about the things i dont have. I remind myself how blessed i am to have a job and have a roof over my head at night. I remind myself every morning how fortunate i am for having such an easy life. That is why i am happy and why i strive to make others happy because i know others have it worse than me. I can’t even consider my situation bad at all actually. Theres no problem with wanting more out of your life and setting high goals but people lose sight of how important the journey is too. Every step counts and living everyday with a healthy mind is important if you wanna be happy. Happiness isnt found in materialistc things or lots of money. Its not found at the end of some magical rainbow that doesnt exist, its found within yourself. Its all in your mind, you have the power to be happy whenever you want. Sometimes all it takes is for you to smile in the mirror or treat yourself to some comedy on YouTube. I’m a friendless dude who works a job at a grocery store and I’ve got no car, no girlfriend, and not many materialistic things yet I’m happy….why? Because i wanna be happy. I view my situation as a perfect opportunity to make new friends and just grow. I see my situation as an exciting challenge to better myself as a person. And you know what… I laugh at myself for being so silly about my fears. I can’t believe i used to be so afraid to ask for some napkins at a restaurant….seriously i used to be afraid to do that just 2 years ago because i had a severe form of social anxiety. Now i laugh at myself for being that way. Now i remind myself how silly I’m being when i think my day sucks just cuz some dude cut me off on the road while driving.

Are you kidding me I feel the same exact way. People are always fuckinf with me at work because I’m always happy. Almost like people are trying to bring me done. Focus on your ability. Gain again what they want to steal.
Yeah people like that need to learn how to be happy with themselves through healthier means. Putting others down only feeds their insecurity because they realize they’re being the negative ones. But somehow they’ve managed to trick themselves into thinking their negative actions and behaviour help. I really do think its an ego thing for them. They have this “if im not happy, nobody can be happy attitude” and if anyone dares to be happy around them they immediately feel conflicted about it. I’m not sorry that i dont wanna be a Squidward-type cashier at work. But its true what they say “the higher you rise, the more positive and negative attention you will attract”
They probably just have an apathetic personality and think you are being showy just to be showy. Like “in your face” happy. While they are focused on work. Maybe they are focused on their work and not on you.
Cause of Death: I just wanted to correct you. Hope this doesn’t offend you or piss you off.
Suicide would be considered a *manner* of death, not a cause of death.
Well that’d be fine if they were simply being apathetic but they’re not. They sometimes give me dirty looks and try to bring me down. I’m focused on my work all the time. In fact customers are always telling me how much they enjoy going through my lane because it’s one of the fastest and more welcoming lanes. It’s totally possible to be completely focused and happy at the same time. And I’d love it if those nasty peeps could focus on themselves more and not me because when they focus on me they like to be unpleasant towards me. And actually they’re usually the ones messing around at work because they’d much rather not be there and so they’re the ones dreading work. I’m not saying I want them to be attracted to me, all I’m saying is that they mess with me for being happy and I would prefer they didn’t. They like to taunt me and tease me for being happy at work. I don’t care if they like me or dislike me, I’m not trying to please everyone. I just ask that people treat me the same way I treat them. I never did anything wrong to these coworkers yet they like to get under my skin.
