Advise is a funny thing...
Those that have the experience & knowledge offer it.
Those that desperately need help reject it.
They are stumbling through life going through one anxiety episode after another... wondering why their life is so stressful & unhappy.
WHY? ...
*They know everything about everything, but suffer disappointment and anxiety... seemingly every hour of every day.
*They are offended by everything that conflicts with their thoughts.
*They need to impose their beliefs upon others and get frustrated when others do not comply.
* They have a image of a perfect world and get depressed when real life doesn't conform to that perfect world image.
*They find fault and blame everything but themselves for how their life is not going to their plan.
*They get emotionally upset and offended by things out of their control that don't even affect them.
* They expect that others and the world has to change for them to be happy.
Advise is completely wasted on them. They know exactly what they want... expect it to happen... And are emotionally devastated when life doesn't happen exactly as they think it should. They keep doing the same things expecting different results.

Sadly... I'm sure you know somebody that lives this way. Seldom being happy for more than a few moments at a time. They struggle simply to find a happy existence. AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP THEM. This is especially painful for loved ones, family and friends.
They have to go through their own experiences, not finding peace and happiness, until get they reach the point when they have to personally realize, see that what they are doing isn't working, and that they have to change themselves.
Saw this on the internet.
Yep... Its advise on how to be happier.

A personal story... From my life... 50 some years ago. 8th or 9th grade. The teacher was asking the class what they wanted to be when they grew up. One by one, he got the usual answers. Policeman, fireman, nurse, doctor... etc. Then he got to me. I said that I wanted to be happy. With a questioning look on his face, he said to me, " I don't think you understand the question". My response... "I don't think you understood my answer".
There are endless things that you can do with your life. Generally conforming to what society pictures as "normal" and acceptable. And if you can be happy doing it, all the better. But you can not be happy always doing what society seems normal... Then you need to seek a different path. Changing your mindset and thinking a different way. Find a way to be happy.
Todays society... Gen Y & Z... they have been conditioned mentally and emotionally to do, react, to live and expect some idealistic world in which they will achieve happiness... While having the behaviors and mindset to live and do everything that precludes being happy.

Anxiety and depression is a downward spiral that perpetrates itself.
Sad... Very Sad. Glad I grew up in a different generation where the mindset, emotional disposition, and behaviors are more conducive to finding and living a happier life.
