Why do I always find it hard to be happy?

Why do I always find it hard to be happy? I tried to only focus on the happy things and ignore the rest, but it doesn't help.

Some people have more trouble with that than others, so don’t be down on yourself about it. One important thing is to not compare how you feel to how you think other people feel…almost everyone has more going on under the surface than they show. There’s also a difference between choosing how much attention to give unhappy things and completely ignoring them. Start by acknowledging reality, and don’t be shy about feeling how you feel.
