I have everything… so why do I still feel empty?
Does anyone else feel low/depressed every other day or are there people who are genuinely happy and satisfied with life?
I genuinely wonder this all the time. Poor people, rich people, people at the top… how are some people actually happy? Or does everyone just hide it?
Instagram makes it worse. Everyone’s life looks perfect, peaceful, exciting. I know social media isn’t real but still… sometimes I feel like I’m the only one struggling with these feelings.
The weird thing is… I actually have a good life. Loving partner, house, good income, everything I need. Nothing major is “wrong”.
But still there’s this constant feeling that something is missing. Happiness comes for a while and then again… anxiety, unexplained sadness, overthinking, no peace. Like a quiet depression sitting in the background and I don’t even know why.
The only times I feel truly okay are when I get closer to God. That gives me peace for a while. But then somehow I fall back into the same feelings again.
Deleted Instagram a few times thinking maybe comparison was affecting me… and then I end up downloading it again.
Idk. Just wondering if anyone else feels like this or if some people are actually genuinely content with life.
