The Weight of Sad Stories in a World Full of Joy
Exploring the Impact of Negativity on Social Media and the Power of Sharing Happiness

As I have grown up, I’ve noticed that people often post sad stories on WhatsApp and other social media platforms. I struggle to understand why some individuals share these downbeat narratives, especially when they seem to be happy otherwise. It’s as if they never share their joyful moments but constantly post about sadness. This behavior can be discomforting and frustrating, as it may lead others to associate these stories with their own lives, even if they don’t resonate with the truth.
As I observed them closely, these people never achieved anything special in their lives. These people just stand on the support of their family. But as soon as the support of the family ends, they get scattered. These people get angry even with small talk. There are many types of people in it too. Some people are always looking for some kind of support. Some people want extra care. Some people like to be alone. And some just want to spend their life in a closed circle. But the common thing that I found in all those people is that they all shared sad stories. When they post something on social media it's related to sadness. One thing I found in most of these people is that they want to show their power. As every sigma quote they see they associate it with yourselves. They think they are the main person in every story that's why, when someone ignores them they become out of control. They show anger. But these people start crying very soon. They have very little control.
For those who consistently share sad stories, I have a question: Is there nothing else you can share? Have you never experienced happiness? Is it only sad stories that you can post?
I’ve observed that many people seem more drawn to desperation than to happiness. A hint of desperation can often overshadow the joy that others might feel. I believe the environment we live in plays a significant role. In developing countries, where job challenges and domestic issues are common, it’s easy to fall into a cycle of negativity. However, that doesn’t mean we should forget happiness and only focus on the sad.
In today’s world, it seems that people share happiness less frequently, which contributes to an atmosphere of depression. This negativity can affect others and stifle people's hope. In a time when the younger generation faces many challenges, we should celebrate small joys and share our happiness with others. We shouldn’t let negative words or stories affect us.
One of the main reasons is that nowadays people are less connected to their family. They spend most of their time with friends in schools, colleges, or on jobs. This is also good because it draws a different spectrum, it brings versatility to the person's personality. But as we know everything has pros and cons. When you are connected to different mindsets then you take their vibes too, which could be positive or negative. But it's part of life. We can't live with just positive people. Because we have to work with different people in different positions. So we should be ready to face these challenges.
A very important question that arises here is: "Does every person have the ability to face such a situation? "
In the end, We must strive to move forward without harming others. It's essential to respect those who respect you and to distance yourself from those who don’t without causing drama. Focus on eating well, staying active, working diligently, and ensuring you get enough rest. Keep your mind clear and remember to smile. Smiling is beneficial for both you and the environment around you.
