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

i always tend to take life, myself and people too seriously and end up feeling uptight, which isn't good for my health, so how can you learn to just 'relax', take a breath and let things go? not brood on what someone said or did which you didn't like?

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! ☺☺☺

@4meAndyou LOL so interesting to read,i happen to love sherlock holmes fiction in general, although never heard of the game you said, but i often listen to sherlock holmes audiobooks on youtube, 10 hour long some of them and they help me sleep too,....when you said ' run out of energy' i related to that as i often run of energy on this site, you probably already noticed at times lol....but altogether i still enjoy the site, and interacting with nice people like yourself...i'm up very late tonight, it's 3am here now, so off to bed, kind regards.

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.
