You probably know the type. The type of person that when you're happy about something have to instantly make criticism or point out a flaw, risk or other negative possibility.

I don't even know why they do it. I think they just don't realize it for the most part, and probably some do it as friends because they're worried for you I guess.

But I think some do it because they're unhappy with themselves or their lives. They might not even realize it, but they're essentially not in a position where they can enjoy things for various reasons.

And then it turns into a struggle session over the pettiest thing lol where you're suddenly made to defend your project/point/reason for being happy or excited about the thing. just let people be happy about stuff lol

I like having people challenge my ideas when I ask them for it, but I'm tired of people and friends jumping in to challenge when you didn't ask them to lol. You can be miserable if you want, and I can be happy if I want!
