What makes you sad?

Lately, my feelings have been ambivalent. Could be because there are unresolved things I need to fix or maybe I was missing somebody, or probably I want to do something I cannot start. I got some elation anyhow to experiences I have had, like accomplishing a major task in the job, receiving incentives and seeing good grades from my kids. The feeling of sadness is inevitable, noticeable and sometimes we love to dwell with it. What makes us sad really? Disappointment? Rejection? A lot maybe?

What makes me sad are those unaccomplished things that I had. You know the feeling of disaappointment when you wasnt abl to reach your goals and perspectives.

I totally agree and could relate! When these things happen, you feel like all your efforts are put to waste.

I get sad a lot, which is actually not normal for me. When I was younger, I was violently optimistic and could make the saddest person happy again, easily. Now i just get worn down emotionally. I think it is because I have much more love in my life these days. Love is a great responsibility, and it can be a tad overwhelming at times.

Disappointments, yes. Rejections, yes. A lot, yes. I'm a perfectionist and expect a lot... hence I'm always sad.

Physical pain won't make me sad. More on a deep emotional pain makes me sad.

There are three things that makes me sad: First, if I did not earn enough money to suffice my needs and to be able to pay monthly dues and obligations. This is really frustrating and depressing especially when you tried so hard and exhausted all your efforts and resources. Second, if any of my loved ones or me is get sick. Lastly, I get really sad if I have some misunderstanding with my girlfriend.

A lot of things could make us feel sad. No one wants to have that feeling of course. But as you said, it is inevitable. Maybe it is how we see things, depends on our tolerance or acceptance of things happen in our daily lives. in my life, a lot of things make me sad most of the time. Have the feeling of being neglegted or taken for granted. To be specific, it's the feeling of being alone as the most trigger of this sad feeling. And yes, I think rejection is a tough one. We need to be accepted, and be loved.

I think all those things you point out makes us all sad and disappointed. If our life is not going the way we want it can cause saddened. I get sad and depressed when I see people suffering and I can't help I feel powerless or useless and when anybody feel this way they can be sad...
