Are happy people just in denial?

Are they happy because they refuse to see all the terrible things?

What terrible things? l never saw that.lol. Love Jo xx

Sometimes I think that but I think mainly the have a positive attitude because if you only look at the terrible things eventually there will be no good things at all and there are many still.

I am happy but I do see all the horrible things in life. But I just try to not think about them.

there r people who pretend to be happy but aren't
people who think their happy but aren't
people who are happy because there ignorant
and people who are genuinely happy because they've learnt to deal with the bad things that always happen and have learnt to appreciate life

its called not concentrating on the bad thingsand thinkin positive.. you still acknowledge their presence, but concentrate on all the good things in life rather than the bad.

Some people used to be like that...
especially when they don't what other people know his/her problem....
but I think,
many people are really happy because they are happy:)

I think everybody is in denial about something, but I think denial makes you unhappy/miserable, therefore I think happy people are less in denial.
I know because I was in denial about a lot of stuff in the past and I was miserable all the time.
And ever since I started to face everything and start working through it and admit them to myself, I was happy.
And that happines doen't mean that everything is okay now, it's just that the world isn't on my shoulders anymore. I am on top of the world now!
That's why I am a sunbeam! ;o)

It's the glass half empty - glass half full theory. You choose to be happy or not. You can dwell on the negatives or look for the bright side. It's all a matter of perception and how you chose to live your life.
I've known people with crappy lives that don't allow bitterness and negativity to weigh them down. I've also know people with everything that were the most unhappy, negative, morose individuals...nothing made them happy. It's all how you choose to perceive your life.

Some are yes. Some truly believe in what it is that makes them happy, either way it is all just survival techniques.

I believe so too. Happy people are selfish and they care only for stuff that have to do with themselves... Otherwise there aren't any happy people in this world

maybe they are happy in spite of all the terrible things. so really happy people are just spiteful people.

They are just happy not matter what condition. They see the positive side of things.

Not everyone mask their problem with a smile.So not all are in denial and are truly happy.

denial can be a wonderful thing...xanax helps with that.
