Is this some sort of mental illness? Psychosis? People who just continuously will themselves to be in a good mood EVERYDAY? seems very unnatural to me. Humans have an array of emotions and to force yourself to constantly only feel one of them is just weird.

Perhaps NPCs are real or robots already walk among us

I hate it too man. It's some gross social programming that covers up reality. Not to knock trying to look on the bright side. But there's a point where it's just social control nonsense which is what I assume you're referring to.

its called self control and living your best life
you could argue language math ect is unnatural and that we should all be grunting in the woods

>>40616046
No it covers up natural human expression, which causes issues in understanding each other's reality.

So what do you walk around scowling at people all the time? Is there too much smiling going on out there?

>>40616096
In some areas there is definitely too much smiling going on. Thinking corporate two-faced white collar bs. It's about natural expression not "I should scowl all the time" or "I should be pleasant and smiling all the time."

>>40615860 (OP)
No, some people just find it really easy to be happy, it doesnt mean they are incapable of being sad occasionally. It is not healthy to be angry as often as you are happy, some emotions need to dominate over others

Its called being polite...
Manners make you a nice person...
So...
Put on a happy face...
I knew a anon so glooming...
They never dance or sing...

Stab with a smile

Manners doesn't make you a nice person. Being a nice person makes you a nice person.

The cult of positivity is used in a lot of corporate environments, this video is pretty relevant, it’s used to shape people to do what you want.

This thread feels like it was made by a brown foreign teenager with very limited people skills

>>40616278
Nope. White American. I'm neck deep in brown people though, so quite honestly I am finding it hard to be happy these days

>>40616525
Well there’s your problem right there

>>40616533
My op isn't really reflecting on my situation. There are people who would still force themselves to be happy even if they were neck deep in shit.

>>40616278
The one talking about natural expression is not OP

>>40616681
elaborate

>>40616762
I don't have a good answer for you. write it off if you want

>>40616266
checked
and good video

yes, Mr. J Krishnamurti from few decades ago said "people have become psychological slaves to time" and this what we have here is the extension of that.

one must relax to relax, not relax to feel good or gain energy.
one must play to play
one must work to work (the immediate necessity which makes you work)
no goals, no constriction in patterns bound by man made time.

I wake up Happy because I am Happy with my life, says a lot about the people ITT

Would you actually address the content of the thread? Or is this all just an ego game for you? Wait. Nvm. The answer is clear in your statement.

Maybe they did DMT and a geometric face that was once sad blue triangle reshaped into happy yellow hexagons saying happy buddah. True story.

Anyway it's unnatural for sure, it's enough to be content unless authentically really happy. But hey man maybe you just need to be happy all the time.
