how to not take life, myself and people too seriously and be 'happy'

Well, it's certainly not easy, letting things go at times. I have found that when I am upset about something someone said or did, the quickest way for ME to forget about it and move on is to play an online game.

I particularly love Sherlock Detective Hidden object and Maze game. There is ONE chapter of ONE book which I know backwards and forwards, and if I play that one game till they kick me off the site because I've run out of energy, it calms me down completely. By the time I am done, I don't even remember being upset! ☺☺☺

Ive just accepted about myself that I take things too seriously. I dont even get jokes. I take them too literally. As for not caring about what people think so much, for me it was a combination of things. Being a store greeter at Walmart during covid, discovering husband had a double life, and lots of therapy.
