"The Anxious Person" by Frederick Bachman
Anxiety is already a state of many people nowadays, and I am no exception. Why do I feel anxious? For example, I often think about what to do if I don’t have money, what to do if my life is not good, and other people live a happy life. I also want to be like that, but it turns out that these thoughts will only make me more anxious, so I started to think ,What is happiness?
What is happiness? Why are people on the Internet so happy?
What is happiness? The book "The Anxious Man" writes:
Happiness is based on expectations, and we now have the Internet - people on the Internet are constantly asking questions in various ways: Is your life as perfect as mine? Um? How about it? What now? Is your life comparable to this? If it’s not comparable, why not change it quickly!
Is happiness really like this? I don’t think so. I think happiness comes from deep within oneself to be real happiness. However, it is also written in the book:
Of course, in fact, if people are really as happy as they appear online, then Not spending so much damn time on the internet, because no one is going to spend half the day taking selfies when they’re actually having a great day. With enough fertilizer, anyone can create a false sense of glamor in their life, so if your neighbor’s lawn across the street looks greener, it’s probably because there’s more dog poop there. We now know that every day should be special. Of course, the difference does not have to be that big. The key is that every day is not the same.

As mentioned in this paragraph, when many people feel happy and happy, they will share it, but if they are really so happy on the Internet, why would they spend so much time on On the Internet, people who appear glamorous on the surface actually have an unknown side behind them.
There was a saying before that the more someone shows off something, the more something is lacking. This sentence is not unreasonable, but many things are often not necessarily certain.
Some people like to share happiness and are only willing to show their happy side. Some people do not share, but it does not mean that they are very happy, but they will live a good life.
But when I saw this sentence in the book, I was still very touched. Maybe I am just such a person. I like to share my happy things, but I don’t want others to see my downtrodden side.
So in fact, only you can define what happiness is.
