(re: "HEY YOU.... yes you, stop being unhappy with yourself.....")
AuntieMoosie; I simply have to say that the words ...... "if anyone hates you because you are happy with yourself then stuff them" ..... ring sooooo true for me.
It's taken me a while to realise it, but I have a colleague who resents me being happy. She is never happy.
I am lucky to have a particularly cheerful & very sweet colleague too & we get on really well. My grumpy colleague I think is envious of this ... But then if she just learned to be cheerful & let go of whatever it is that makes her so miserable .... She could be happy too
I don't think she realises that many people who come across as cheerful & charming do have issues that depress them but the difference is.... But they make a choice to at least be cheerful when they can coz at least for that period of their lives they are happy!!
