I'm not happy with my life

been using this site since I was 19. I left, came back, left again, and now after a couple of years I'm back here. It's nice to share my feelings anonymously here. I live in a family filled with toxicity, backbiting, betrayal, and fights. I’ve been depressed throughout my late teens up until now I don't know how to be happy anymore. I live in a third world country where things are not pretty easy to do. I wonder how it's for the people in same condition living in first world. Btw Hi to y'all !!

I live in the US, and believe me, there are many people unhappy with their lives right now. I find myself the best way is to associate with positive, loving, kind people--even if it means separating from toxic family members. Of course I do understand, if you rely on them for food or shelter or living that is tougher. I also find that if i focus on being a good and loving person, and accept others as being how they are because they have lived their own unique life with their own story and struggles, that helps. But, my heart goes out to you. The world in general needs more love, acceptance, kindness, understanding...

@Mishi Sometimes just talking to others helps, connecting, being listened to--and also realizing that you are not alone in your struggles. Love and compassion, kindness and caring are the answers!!
