Research suggests that people who pursue happiness directly almost never find it - but people who pursue meaning, connection, and acceptance report a quiet contentment that outlasts every peak experience - Silicon Canals

Pursuing happiness directly often leads to disappointment and lower satisfaction, as expectations create a gap between reality and feelings.

Psychology suggests people who become difficult to be around with age are almost always carrying an unprocessed grief - for the life they expected and didn't get, for the recognition they believed they had earned and never received, for the version of themselves they were supposed to become - and the difficulty is what that grief sounds like when it has been stored as resentment for long enough to become the way they experience everything - Silicon Canals

Unprocessed grief can manifest as bitterness and negativity, stemming from unfulfilled dreams and unmet expectations in life.

Low-grade melancholy may signal a disconnect between current life and expectations, rather than being a symptom of depression.
