It can be hard for miserable people to be around people who seem to have everything in life. Instead of being with positive people, they would like to be with other people who are also sad and depressed. They can become annoyed whenever people try to cheer them up so they would rather be with other people who are also experiencing the things that they are feeling.

It seems that being miserable is like a magnet; you will be able to attract other people who are miserable too. Hopefully, the misery will turn into something positive in your life because this will truly provide the changes that you would like.

There are some people who feel so miserable that they usually do not feel happy when other people are happy. Some even say that when they are around happy people, they feel annoyed because they feel dead inside. Now, when they are with other people who are feeling miserable, that is the time when they begin to feel better because they can talk about the things that are making them feel sad.

They feel that since they are all sad, they can all feel sad together. Those who talk about the things that they are miserable about are miserable, but those who keep quiet about their miseries are usually hurting more. It will take time before people can talk about their miseries with others, and only when they may start to feel better.
