How can I find happiness ?

Question: How can I find happiness !?

If I ended my life my family might be a little stirred up, but eventually they would go on and be the same uncaring human beings they are now!. But, if I didn't, how can I find happiness in a situation that seems so bleak, so hopeless and so miserable !?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Will ending your life make you happy!?
I think both happiness and sadness are a function of life, not death!. You are sad because you are alive, but you can be happy because you are alive!.
I suffered a great deal when younger, and it took a long time to understand that I could be happy, not all the time, but enough of the time !.:)
I think you need to discover why you are unhappy, and what would make you happier!. Try to understand and accept that neither happiness nor sadness are permanent conditions, and so try not to become too disheartened by sadness or too attached to happiness!. Try to take control of your happiness by removing the sources of unhappiness from your life!. This will change the situation, and give you some feeling of control over your life!. Mind you, having control over your life will not always be easy, but it will let you be as happy as possible!.
Good luck!.

Edit: "What if you've done all that you can, and still things don't improve !?"
Then you have to accept you are unhappy for now, not for ever, and learn new ways to doing things to change your situation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Stop looking for it!. If you are currently unhappy, change what is making you unhappy!.

I live in a very large city where many people have left the families who don't care about them and have built communities where they can belong and where people care about each other!.

Countless people face an uncaring family!. It is something that you can escape!. Find a new place to settle down or make it a plan to build towards!.

I'd rather be where I was welcomed with people who are unrelated to me than to be uncared for with people whom i am related!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't want to kill yourself, if you like being a ghost for several hundred years, which is a big terrible pain!. I think happiness comes to you if you get everything into order, more easier said than done, I know, but you have to try and happiness will come to you!. You can't pursue it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are a young person, study!.

If you are over 18 move out!.

Life is too short to be sad!. Don' t waste any part of your life living in conditions that make you sad!.

If you are 17 and can get your custodial parent to sign, join the Navy!.

If, you can wait 3 months Obama is going to create a global service corps of nation builders, join that!.

Above all, move out as soon as you can!. You would not be better off on the streets, so "as soon as you can" means as soon as you have something to move out to -- like the Navy, the Peace Corps, the global nation building corps, anything that would give you rent and food money!.

Toxic families are just that -- toxic -- they poison you -- so find a better alternative and get on bus, drop off the key, set yourself free!.

Make sure the folks you have signed up with will take care of you for at least two years!. In that amount of time, you will find lots of recourses, many alternatives!.

Most people have 200% of the imagination required to be sad and miserable, but 0% of the imagination required to leave -- jump out of the box -- you have to pay a price to get free -- but the Price is almost always much less than the price of staying in bad situation!.

Suicide is not the answer!. That's the coward's way out!. The person who is not willing to give life a fair chance, not willing to take any initiative beyond just destroying the gift of life that someone had the suffer to give you!. Don't even think that way!. Pull up your socks, assess your situation, find recources -- there are 100 of them -- just look -- find!. Make a solid choice -- what is most likely to make you happy among the avenues open to you!. Then go for it!.

These days are your days!. The ones given to you!. Cherish them, don't spill them on the ground!. And don't stay among people that make you unhappy!. Make an arrangement -- then follow through -- like they say in the SEALS plan your dive, then dive your plan!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

But when I see them sleeping,they are like angels, I feel guilty of not having enough time to listen to them!.I'm 100% sure that they love you!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pray for your uncaring family!. You can either pray for them to be more caring toward you and others and, if you are angry or upset, you can pray that God would humble them and that you would be able to see it and help them through it!. No matter how you feel you should pray for them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
