30 People Discuss Common Signs That Someone Is Living A Miserable Life

ADVERTISEMENT

Every one of us has bad days. But then we have good days and doing things that we love makes us, at least for a bit, forget our problems. However, once happiness fades, we go back to reality. Well, some people like their reality as they feel joyful every day, all of their issues or worries are solvable, they have a cozy home they can’t wait to go back to and always have somebody who’s impatiently waiting for them to come back home.

Unfortunately, there are also many people who are not happy with their lives. They feel sad more often than happy. And while sometimes people tend to put on a ‘mask’ so nobody can tell how they actually are feeling, some of their actions may show reality is a little bit different than they want everybody around them to see.

Recently, one Reddit user started a discussion online asking people to share minor indicators that actually show that people are living miserable lives. Folks online shared various opinions and when you think about them in this context, they actually make sense.

30 People Discuss Common Signs That Someone Is Living A Miserable Life When s**t hits the fan and everybody is running around waving their arms screaming you can spot them. There will always be one guy who just sorta looks a bit tired, rolls up his sleeves and starts methodically fixing the things within his power to do so whilst just blatantly ignoring the catastrophe around him. To everybody else the end is nigh. To him, this is tuesday.

30 People Discuss Common Signs That Someone Is Living A Miserable Life They become “invisible people”, when they can. They are polite, keep to themselves, but disappear into their home and don’t engage with others because it’s draining and/or mentally exhausting. They may or may not feel lonely, but realise that life has hit too many times, and all they want to do is feel safe and quiet at the end of their day.

I realized a long time ago that air am just as happy in my own company as I am in the company of others. Happier, in fact, when I have been drained dry by having to be around way too many hyperactive extroverts. Takes time to recharge after that. A lot of time.

30 People Discuss Common Signs That Someone Is Living A Miserable Life Eating a load of ready meals, because they don't have anyone to cook for or with so food is just a chore.

Similarly they eat the same thing over and over again, because all food tastes kind of bland.

Avoiding going home, so taking longer routes homes, staying late at work, going grocery shopping just to get out of the house.

Most of their social interactions are via text or social media or with colleagues and or service workers like cashiers.

They never seem to have a good night's sleep.

They don't talk about their evening weekend plans, or when they do, it always seems to be chores or something non committal that they can do alone - "I don't know, I'll probably just watch Netflix."

Cleaning is either not done at all, because there's no energy, or it is extremely well done because they have nothing else to do.

They can't really tell you how they envision the future - they don't dare to dream big, or dream at all, because those dreams keep being crushed.

When they do dream, the dreams are kept at arm's length - "I'd love to get a house next year, but I probably won't be able to afford it."

Am I describing my own life?

Yep.

As I slowly got out of depression and trauma, I started cleaning the house and putting things in order. Little by little, not all at once. First washing the dishes and sweeping the kitchen. Then, arranging the clothes gathered in a big pile in the middle of the room (this took months). Then, dusting the furniture, and so on.

Forgetting what day it is. Rat chewed or worn and torn clothing. Have to ask permission from spouse to do anything extra. Oddly unfazed and numb when things go wrong. Lives to participate in spirit and theme ‘staff morale’ days. Always eats alone but probably doesn’t eat. If anything it looks hastily tossed together. Napping in the restroom or car. Poor hygiene. Skin issues. Over apologetic. Worried or paranoid what people think. Missing a lot. They will never have seen the TV show you are taking about. They didn’t go on vacation. You won’t meet any of their people outside of work. The purse rattles. People call for them. They just agree with things passively. They forget or mix up regular info

I have some of these. I nap in the car--it's comfy in between the 3 hour break between classes at the college :) I don't watch TV though, so you're free to talk about spoilers. The only rattle you'll hear is the ibuprofen, fortunately. I used to worry about what other people thought. Then I turned 30 and realized none o' that really matters. I had some rough teenage years, but I'm not really depressed any more--just antisocial! :-D

When something is offered to them they always feel like they don't deserve it. They always politely decline any kind of offer. For example if you know they are hard on money and you don't want to go out to eat alone so you offer to pay for a meal for them to come with you. They made decline at not because they aren't hungry or don't want to hang out with you but because they feel they don't deserve to have their meal paid for. Usually some kind of sign of abuse of them being unworthy in the eye of a spouse or a parental figure etc

UPDATE:

I didn't expect this many replies. To clarify what I'm reading on a lot of them, there is no one size fits all. People can act this way for many different reasons whether they were taught that giving was good and receiving was bad or for religious reasons. Maybe everything they have ever done with family of friends was transactional and they were held as an emotional hostage. Maybe somebody feels they disappointed others by asking for help like they were getting in the way. The list is endless and I have learned a lot by reading a lot of these replies.

Many of these experiences aren't always labeled as abusive or toxic by those who go through them and I think sometimes that can be part of the issue. It keeps people trapped in this way of thinking due to their experiences when it is not their fault. In my eyes, when your experiences cause you to feel you can't accept something from somebody without it coming back to bite you in the a*s, that's abuse.

Or maybe they just don’t want to, after having to for 40 hours a week. People can be exhausting to be around, and some people are just a whole new stratospheric level of exhausting. After having to be around them in order to make enough money to live (and for some of us, we’re talking more than 40 hours a week for a side job), when you don’t have to be around anybody, you revel in the peace and quiet of nobody trying to get you to be as hyperactive as they are. Like WTF people? Are you doing meth or just living on sugar or something? I worked too many years in customer service-related jobs where the phone was constantly ringing and people could be real a******s, to the point where even today I hate the telephone. I have a cellphone, but the ringer is off way more than it’s on. I much prefer emailing and texting, because I can decide when or if to reply or even deal with them at all, instead of being forced to by a live person on the other end of a call. And employers can take their b******t “you must answer my text/email/call within 10 minutes” and shove it all the way up their asses until it comes out their mouths. When I was a teenager, my reaction to the phone ringing was excitement at who might be calling. Now it’s like aw f**k what now, before checking the Caller ID and deciding IF I want to answer. I usually just let it go to voicemail. Especially when it happens in MY time when I do not do work. You have to enforce your boundaries if you want to have a decent work-life balance.

Some of these are indicators of people who have lived with trauma (which they might have dealt with and are now living a good life), and some are about people who don't lose control of their emotions and run around in a panic when things go poorly, but instead roll up their sleeves and get to work. None of these indicate that the person is "living a miserable life." I quit reading them after the first ten or so.

Some of these are indicators of people who have lived with trauma (which they might have dealt with and are now living a good life), and some are about people who don't lose control of their emotions and run around in a panic when things go poorly, but instead roll up their sleeves and get to work. None of these indicate that the person is "living a miserable life." I quit reading them after the first ten or so.

I don't drink, try not to yell, and do my best to be polite. Beyond that, these are pretty much all me. Thanks, Mom, not only for the abuse you slung at me but for conscripting the rest of the family to do the same.
