i believe that no one else is responsible for my happiness but myself. it is my job to handle things in my life well. it is my job to see the goodness of the things around me, to snap away from misery and to tell myself to just be thankful for everything that i have.
of course it would be great if someone wants to make me happy. but that would just be a bonus.
what about you, guys, who do you think is responsible for your happiness?

You may be right to an extent raine, but did you wonder what would happen to you or your so called "happiness" if there was no one around you??? I feel that a person is responsible for his/her own happiness but it depends a lot on the people who he/she is surrounded by.No matter how happy you may be you would definitely become gloomy and cranky if those kind of people are around you. Anyway Im glad that you are happy and hope you always stay so, because there a very few ppl today who are happy with their life and what they've got.

i agree that there are people who are "depressing" to be around. if they are within my radar, it is possible that i would be miserable for a while, but hey, why suffer? i will just stay away from them if i can't help them or cheer them up after several attempts.
life is really not all sunshine. each one of us has his share of predicaments (family issues, etc -- especially financial LOL!). we have been alone, deserted and betrayed by people we loved. but life has to go on, right? and isn't it better to go on with life recognizing the blessings that come our way than whine about what we have lost
have a nice day, andrew1412! take care!

i agree with you, you are responsible for your happiness. i will state an example, when i'm still in high school, it seems that i have all this problem, i hate my classmates, i hate my status, i hate myself, i hate all. i even came to a point that i don't want to go to school anymore coz all of my classmates are so mean! i told to myself that my life is so miserable, my life is such a waste. but when i reached college & until now, i realized that i'm happy coz i'm alive coz i can experience what i'm experiencing now, i can travel, i have good friends, i have nice officemates & my family is always there for me. all i can say is that your happiness will fall into yourself & the people around you. i mean if you will meet mean people, your life will be a mess coz there's always a problem, but when you meet good people, happiness will fall into place. live your life to the fullest, coz we only live once, so cherish it.. if you waste it, you will have no second chance..

hi, jinxky.
thanks for your reply. isn't it awful that there really are people that like inflicting pain on others? those that are so insensitive to the point of being mean? oh well, it is they who have issues with themselves. LOL!
take care, jinxky!

Without a doubt, we are each responsible for our own happiness. People often say things like "my best friend hurt me deeply" or some such thing but we choose hw we feel...no one makes us feel anything. If we feel bad about something or unhappy, it's a choice we have made.

Hi, Rainegurl.
I believe just as you do on this. No one is responsible for my happiness but me and I can't be responsible for anyone else's happiness either. There are many people who I want to make happy daily, but the best I can do is help them find happiness themselves.

In my opinion,the one who is responsible for my happiness is myself.We should do the things which could make us happy.At the same time, making friends can bring us more happiness.
