The thing that makes me the saddest is, honestly, seeing other people sad especially when there’s nothing you can do to help them. To me that’s probably the number one thing that’s makes me sad. Another thing that causes a bit of sadness is when you can’t make everybody happy because I really do try to do that since I hate seeing my friends or family sad I’ll try and do things to prevent it but sometimes try as I might and it still won’t cheer everyone up. I have been rejected very few times in my life partially because I don’t really take “NO” for an answer, but I have been rejected by my brother because his head is almost as hard as mine…..almost. The last time I was rejected by him was when he had his friends over and I came to disturb them, obviously, and when they were hanging out I was totally rejected. I can understand that because after all I did go to there to disturb them and I think my brother knew.
I'm generally a positive person and it takes quite a bit to make me genuinely sad but there are one or two things that do make me feel that way. I won't say the more personal things obviously but there are more suttle things that make me sad. One of them is when the season of one of my favorite shows end and I have to wait almost a year until the next season starts. I feel like my life is over and I don't know what to do with it and hopefully I'm not the only one on this. Another thing that makes me feel sad is when my friends or family members are sad. Whenever other people are sad it just makes me feel what they feel and I know I need to do something to cheer them up. So there are a couple of general things that make me sad and I try to think positive about everything so I don't need to be sad all the time.
I know the feeling! One of my favorite shows went of the air for 6 months, 6 months!!! Another of my favorite series went off the air without ever ending, there are still so many questions unanswered months later! So trust me when I say I understand!
I am typically a happy person but that's not to say that I never get sad. I always get sad when someone is disappointed with me, I hate the feeling of letting someone down. I don't just disappoint them, I disappoint myself. I also get immediately get sad after seeing an animal cruelty or adopt an orphan commercial, it just pulls on my heart strings. It makes me realise that I am so fortunate and that I have so much when others have nothing. I want to help but in those moments I feel so hopeless, there are so many people like that, I wonder how it'll ever be able to help them all. I hope to one day help these issues so that I can help others and at least eliminate the hopeless feeling.
Whenever I see a sad commercial I break down, but it doesn't really make me sad, it just make me feel helpless, or I'm just very emotional. Like theres nothing I can really do but I get what you mean, these issues do get me feeling like that.
I'm not typically a "positive person", but then again im not negative, or ever usually sad or happy. I'm neutral and I never really let things bother me that much. But like every normal human I do get sad occasionally. Something that always comes up is thinking about people that have passed away. Remembering those people often makes me sad, thinking about all the good times you used to have. Also cancer in general makes me really sad, because it's killing all these people and yet we still can't cure it. A lot of things that are really dumb in life make me sad, like homeless people. They don't own a home because of the society we live in. Prices are so high that they can't afford to pick themselves up. They've been rejected by society. Rejection is something that doesn't affect me. I was taught to get through it, and it was okay to be a little down but you learn from your mistake and move on. I guess I live more in the present, and I don't focus on things in past, so maybe I'm less sad because of it.
Your idea of living in the present is a really great way to live life. There are always going to be things pushing you down and the fact that you're able to simply move on will really benefit you during your life. Cancer and homelessness are also things that make me sad as well, seeing as there aren't any current solutions. But it's important that we acknowledge them so that one day we can find a way to solve them.
Considering I practice the sport of figure skating, which is based entirely on the idea of judgment, I have definitely felt rejected throughout my life. Now, I try to keep a positive attitude to it all, trying to come back stronger than the last time, but the feelings of not being good enough can hurt, especially after you’ve put in so much time and effort. You can practice and train all you want, but it all comes down to a stranger’s opinion of whether or not you’re good. It gives you a false sense of failure when you should be proud of what you’ve worked towards and not think too much about what others think of you. They don’t see all the hours you’ve spent in the rink, so when the judges reject you, it’s easy to fall under the idea that you’re no good. This part of figure skating is definitely a flaw in my opinion and it makes me sad to think of all the potentially great skaters who have quit because of it. However, it’s important to look forward and remember that those who can overcome these hardships are better equipped when facing rejection and judgment later on in life. Figure skating has taught me many life lessons over the years, but I believe that overcoming rejection and being stronger because of it is the most important of them all.
I know exactly how you feel. I always try hard in school and I still do really bad! I feel like I could have done better and that makes me really sad. I like how you said that the fact you felt all those feelings that you are now stronger.
There are some things that make me sad and here are a few of them. First are fights. I hate being in fights with friends. We say things we don’t mean and ignore each other. Whenever I am in a fight I get sad because of what the other person says that would hurt my feelings or just the way they act toward me. Also the feeling of me being mean to someone makes me feel sad and breaking a friend with someone I really care about. I also get sad when I hear about people I know or animals that have died. It makes me feel like I could have done something to help but in reality I would have never even known it was going on. Something else that makes me sad is when people judge me or others because it’s just so mean to judge someone based on how they look, dress etc. And also seeing other people sad makes me sad. I have never been rejected but one time in grade six a kid came up to me at recess and asked me to the graduation dance and I yelled “NO!” in his face. Now that I think about it I feel really bad that I said that.
Some things that make me sad are when people die at a young age. I feel like they had so much more time to live and it ended too soon. On a more less serious note, I hate when restaurants get your order wrong It makes me so mad then I fell sad for the waiter because I know they were trying hard. It also makes me sad when I`m talking to my friends and then I realize they were not even listening. So then all I have to do is raise my voice then they listen to me. But something that makes me really sad is when I hear on the news about murders. I just don`t understand how someone can be that insane and ill to do something so horrible to someone else. It makes me even more sad when it`s a murder in their own family. I don`t understand how people can be so crazy in the head that they kill someone who is so close to them it makes absolutely no sense. But the thing that makes me the most sad of all is when my favorite TV show ends!!!!!!! Grace Makinson
I agree, it is really sad to hear about murders especially in their own family because family is supposed to stick together. It also makes me sad to hear on the news that someone died in a terrible way. Aswell it does really suck when your favorite tv show ends!
I think that the worst feeling in the world is when someone is disappointed with me. For example, some teachers try and yell their hearts out in order to try and make kids listen, this doesn't work on me. However when a teacher is all disappointed when I let them down I feel really bad and do what I can to make it up to them. The same goes with friends and family. This one is a lot less serious than the other one but I hate it and get really sad when a movie or video game release gets postponed. I know, it’s really stupid but it really makes me sad and mad at the same time.
I agree with you. When someone is disappointed in you, you feel like you've made a huge mistake. When they are disappointed in you, it's because they expect a lot more from you, and you can't help but feel like they are gonna put a title on you because you aren't who they thought you were.
Something that never fails to make me sad is seeing someone close to me sad, such as a family member or close friends. I hate seeing people cry and be sad because it always makes me want to cry and be sad. Another that that makes me sad is hearing about terrible things going on in the world. Things like deaths, wars and terrorists attacks etc. I always feel sad and mad after and get into a bad mood. Something else that really makes me sad is suicide. I know it is an obvious one but it is a subject that always makes me want to cry. Thankfully, I don't know anyone who has tried to or has committed suicide, but hearing about it makes me really sad. -Samantha ferguson
One thing that makes me sad is the fact that people judge other people without knowing one thing about them. How they make fun of someone just because of their appearance. I have heard people talking about others for stupid reasons like just because of the way they dress. I feel bad for the person they are talking about because they are aloud to wear what they want. If they like it on themselves good for them! I hate hearing people talking bad about others; I can just imagine how they feel because I’ve been through it too. People have rejected me just because I’m short or because of a shirt I wear and it’s not right.
I also agree with your point of view, I find it quite saddening that people judge each other so quickly and prematurely without knowing the actual person inside, which is what is most important.
There are few things that can make me feel sad or get me upset but I think the one thing that upsets almost everyone and myself is if someone close to you passes away. This has only happened to me twice, my great- grandmother and my dog. They were both very involved in my life and I was extremely fortunate to have both of them in my life for as long as I did. Some other things that make me feel sad are, murders, terrorist attacks, disappointment, feeling helpless and I especially feel upset when my teacher rips my Math homework.....
The thing that makes me sad the most has got to be regrets. Everyone has them and from something as small as wearing a different color top, to something huge like a divorce, they are always there. I feel very upset and lonely when I think about things I should or could have done to make something turn out differently. I dwell on changes I could have made, things I should have said or test I should have studied harder for. Mostly I ask why I did that and wish I could have changed it. I have mostly been rejected by my sister and in turn rejected her. A lot of the time when she was in Elementary school she would ask me to play of hang out right after school but I had homework, friends or another obligation so after tons of pleas I would have to put my foot down. She in turn does the same to me so I know how it feels. Mostly I just feel embarrassed and angry, because you ask for something and then you get completely blown off with little regard to your feelings.
In elementary school I had a crush on this girl who we can call Kayla. In sixth grade I really liked her and the grad dance was coming up so I had to make a plan. A week before the dance and I had my plan, my genius plan at the time was to get my best friend to ask Kayla out for me because I was too nervous. The time was right her friend had just left her so I told my best friend to ask her. As he walked over to Kayla I was so nervous I watched every move that they made, from a safe distance of course. At one point I tried to read their lips but I was terrible at that so it was no use. It felt like hours before he came back but in reality it was probably just two minutes. “So?” I ask he shook his head. Kayla said no and it was ok because I learned that I have to man up.
One thing that makes me sad is when I get a lot of homework on a Friday. On a Friday, getting homework puts down because its the last day of the week and I like to get home and relax, not do homework. It makes me sad because throughout the week I plan my Fridays with fun in mind and then I get homework and it messes my plans up.
One of the main things that makes me sad is seeing people that I care about sad. If I ever see someone that is close to me, I will always try to do something to help them be in a better mood because I tend to be a bad mood if they are... Another thing that makes me sad is when someone is mad at me. I do not enjoy this because I always think of the worst case scenarios. For example, there was this one time in grade 6, (I must of done something to upset my friend) because she got pretty mad at me and wouldn’t talk to me for a whole week! Because of this, I was coming up with scenarios that she would never talk to me again, and that we wouldn’t be friends anymore! Even if i look back now and think that it was probably a little over dramatic, I still do not enjoy having people mad at me.
One thing that definitely makes me sad and upset, is when teachers try to make us talk about personal subjects during class or for an assignment. I don't think its necessary for teachers to know every bit about our personal lives. It's not their problem and they don't need to act like a guidance counselor. It really bothers me when people I'm not close with try to talk to me about personal topic that do not concern them. So yes in fact I have rejected people before; I've rejected some people by refusing to tell them about my personal life and teaching them to mind their own business.
The thing that makes me really sad is seeing someone that I care a lot about being sad. When other people are sad I just want to help them because I know that when I’m sad I want my close friends to be there to comfort me. I actually reject a lot of people because when they want to know about my personal life and I don’t feel the need to tell them, then I won’t. For example, people that I know but aren't really close with like classmates and people that go to my school and teachers who always ask about my life. I don’t like when that happens so I reject them.
Something that makes me very sad is knowing that there are way too many people in the world that are sick or very poor, and there’s not much being done about it. I consider myself very fortunate to have the life that I have because I am provided with a home, food and education. I find it sad that we take education for granted while there are children on the other side of the world whose wishes are to go to school. I do not think it is fair that there are some people who do get to live a good life and some that don’t because of where they live. I also find it sad that there are not more people who try to end this cause. People often forget about what many people go through because they are on the other side of the world, but they shouldn’t because it should not matter where you live because since it is like that, it can define your life. If you are born in a poor country, it is a lot harder to get a well-paying job. The world shouldn’t be like this because it is unfair and they didn’t choose to live there.
I totally agree with you Lea. I find that so sad knowing that we can get an education for not that much and we find it terrible when people across the world actually want to go to school and learn and that we have it easy and they dont.
This may sound stupid to some other people,but the thing that really get's me into a depression is my hockey issues, tryouts, and pressure. For example, this year, after 8 weeks of trying out for AAA, AA and A I ended up being cut by two teams, losing a lot of my friends in the process. I have been on the AA team for the past three years and I had become comfortable with all the girls on that team despite the fact they were older than me. There were simply too many girls this year, since I moved yet again to a higher age group, now playing with girls 3 years older than me instead of 2. I was one of the last 3 girls cut from the AA team and was so depressed that I almost wanted to quit the sport entirely! I felt rejected by my old coaches, my old friends, my old teammates, and I was just so embarrassed that most of my friends made it and I didn't. It took me a really long time to get past it, but now I'm playing on the A team now, and working on developing new friendships.
One thing that makes me sad is seeing people I care about, sad. I mostly get upset about this because you can be really close to the person and you want to do everything that you can do to make them feel better. Sometimes the best thing to help them is to give them space. I feel really bad if I am the cause of the sadness. I remember in elementary school I once rejected someone from doing a project, with me. Now, I look back at that decision and I realize that, that was a very mean decision to make. I just didn’t want to work with them and I was not paying attention to that other person’s feelings.
I am not someone who gets sad about much but what typically makes me very sad are deaths. Luckily, I haven't experienced any deaths in my close family, but if I watch movies and someone passes away for any reason I get very emotional. I'm not quite sure what really gets me, but I think it's just natural to be watching someone pass. Usually, I get the most emotional when a young child dies because I have many younger cousins and a younger sister so I always think to myself what if that happened in my family? I am also a huge animal lover so if I ever see an animal being tortured or dying I get very sad. -Elisabeth Laflamme
Personally I am someone who gets really sad over things but one thing that really gets me sad is being rejected by someone. I think that is something that is not only really sad but it also hurts. I have not been rejected many times and when I have been, it really hurt and I was sad for such a long time. I think that being rejected is probably one of the worst feelings in the world because it's as if someone doesn't want you in some situations. For example, someone wanting to go to a certain college their entire life and when they apply, they get rejected by the schoo. It will hurt so much and they will most likely be sad. But personally, I don't really find it sad when someone asks someone else out and they say no. I don't really know why but that doesn't really get me that sad because they can find someone else that may be better. But overall, what makes me really sad is someone getting rejected.
I used to not be very easily saddened till quite recently when I started getting more in tune with my own emotions and the emotions of others. I now get saddened quite easily, whether it be because someone else is sad and I feel either sympathy or empathy towards them, or because something sad happened in a book i'm reading I will because sad. And example of this js recently I was reading a book and there was a part that was not even that sad, and I burst out in tears because I just found it so unfair what was happening to the character. I have personally never been rejected because I have never really liked someone, yes measly crushes that lasted a week tops but nothing that would cause me distress if I got rejected by one of them.
One thing that really makes me sad is failure. I get sad when people died because I feel like I failed to save them or I failed to make them happy. I get sad when I fail a class because I feel like I could do better. Whenever I get sad, it is linked to failure. If someone died at the age of 100 and was super happy and accomplished, then I would not be sad.Because then I feel like I did not fail.I have never really been rejected and I am pretty sure I have never rejected anyone and I wish that this never happenss
I don't usually get sad over a lot of things because i try not to let a lot of things bother me. One thing that makes me very sad is seeing other people sad. It always puts me in a bad mood to see other people who are upset. I find it especially difficult when people won't tell me what's wrong and i can't help them or make them feel better. I do understand that when people are upset about something, they sometimes need their space but not being able to make someone feel better makes me feel helpless and frustrated. Another thing that makes me sad is when people are mean to each other. Sometimes people do it as a joke and it gets out of hand. Other times people are just mean for their own amusement. I will never really understand how putting someone else down could ever make you feel better about yourself. It just frustrates me because i just wish people treated each other better. It doesn't hurt to be nice, so why not do it.
I find that I am rarely ever sad in fact I always try ti be a very happy person and be positive about things. The only times I think i get sad is probably when something happens within my family such as a death or a really serious incident. I also don't like letting people down I get really sad if I let someone down or just mess up a plan they made but other then that another thing that gets me sad is homework on weekends there is nothing worse then having to worry about homework during the weekend. - Dennis Mayuga
I am a very positive and happy person and I do not get sad very often but there are a few things that really make me sad. The thing that I would say makes me most sad is disappointing someone who I care about or who's opinion I value. I absolutely hate disappointing my parents. When I am rude to my parents or if I do something wrong my dad does not bother to yell at me because he knows that I will just listen to him and then walk away feeling sorry for my self that I was just yelled at so instead he just gives me the look. The look that says he knows I am better than that and that I have let him down. The fact that I let him down me makes me so mad at my self but more so sad that I allowed my self to disappoint him. The look of disappointment in my parents eyes is much worse than any lecture or yelling match. I do not only regret what I did but feel sad that I did it and feel sad with my self. I also hate disappointing a friend by telling them I will do something and not following through with it. I hate this because I know that if it was the other way around that I would be upset. If I ever let a friend, a teacher or even my parents down I am simply left with the feeling of disappointment in my my self and overall sadness.
i often look as though I'm always happy but that doesn't seem to be the case, I'm often sad to be completely honest and especially around family or sometimes even when I'm alone. things that get me sad are what people rudely say about me behind my back or when I'm bored, a death has happened or being a disappointment i get mostly sad. i get sad when i can't accomplish something or achieve a goal as well. I've rejected people in the past and it is not a fun feeling. not only do you make them feel bad but you yourself feel bad.
The thing that makes me the saddest is, honestly, seeing other people sad especially when there’s nothing you can do to help them. To me that’s probably the number one thing that’s makes me sad. Another thing that causes a bit of sadness is when you can’t make everybody happy because I really do try to do that since I hate seeing my friends or family sad I’ll try and do things to prevent it but sometimes try as I might and it still won’t cheer everyone up. I have been rejected very few times in my life partially because I don’t really take “NO” for an answer, but I have been rejected by my brother because his head is almost as hard as mine…..almost.

I can understand that because after all I did go to there to disturb them and I think my brother knew.
ReplyDeleteI understand, I feel sad when my closest friends and family are sad and I can't do something about it.
DeleteI definitely agree. I find it really difficult to see your friends and family upset.

People have rejected me just because I’m short or because of a shirt I wear and it’s not right.

DeleteI also agree with your point of view, I find it quite saddening that people judge each other so quickly and prematurely without knowing the actual person inside, which is what is most important.
DeleteThere are few things that can make me feel sad or get me upset but I think the one thing that upsets almost everyone and myself is if someone close to you passes away. This has only happened to me twice, my great- grandmother and my dog. They were both very involved in my life and I was extremely fortunate to have both of them in my life for as long as I did. Some other things that make me feel sad are, murders, terrorist attacks, disappointment, feeling helpless and I especially feel upset when my teacher rips my Math homework.....
ReplyDeleteI wonder what you're talking about at the end there?
DeleteThe thing that makes me sad the most has got to be regrets. Everyone has them and from something as small as wearing a different color top, to something huge like a divorce, they are always there. I feel very upset and lonely when I think about things I should or could have done to make something turn out differently. I dwell on changes I could have made, things I should have said or test I should have studied harder for. Mostly I ask why I did that and wish I could have changed it. I have mostly been rejected by my sister and in turn rejected her. A lot of the time when she was in Elementary school she would ask me to play of hang out right after school but I had homework, friends or another obligation so after tons of pleas I would have to put my foot down. She in turn does the same to me so I know how it feels. Mostly I just feel embarrassed and angry, because you ask for something and then you get completely blown off with little regard to your feelings.
ReplyDeleteIn elementary school I had a crush on this girl who we can call Kayla. In sixth grade I really liked her and the grad dance was coming up so I had to make a plan. A week before the dance and I had my plan, my genius plan at the time was to get my best friend to ask Kayla out for me because I was too nervous. The time was right her friend had just left her so I told my best friend to ask her. As he walked over to Kayla I was so nervous I watched every move that they made, from a safe distance of course. At one point I tried to read their lips but I was terrible at that so it was no use. It felt like hours before he came back but in reality it was probably just two minutes. “So?” I ask he shook his head. Kayla said no and it was ok because I learned that I have to man up.
ReplyDeleteAww that's a cute story:) I get nervous pretty easily too, especially when it comes to talking to my crush!
DeleteOne thing that makes me sad is when I get a lot of homework on a Friday. On a Friday, getting homework puts down because its the last day of the week and I like to get home and relax, not do homework. It makes me sad because throughout the week I plan my Fridays with fun in mind and then I get homework and it messes my plans up.
ReplyDeleteI agree!Homework is a pain the neck.
DeleteOne of the main things that makes me sad is seeing people that I care about sad. If I ever see someone that is close to me, I will always try to do something to help them be in a better mood because I tend to be a bad mood if they are... Another thing that makes me sad is when someone is mad at me. I do not enjoy this because I always think of the worst case scenarios. For example, there was this one time in grade 6, (I must of done something to upset my friend) because she got pretty mad at me and wouldn’t talk to me for a whole week! Because of this, I was coming up with scenarios that she would never talk to me again, and that we wouldn’t be friends anymore! Even if i look back now and think that it was probably a little over dramatic, I still do not enjoy having people mad at me.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. When someone who I'm close with is sad, I immediately become sad and try to find a way to cheer them up.
DeleteOne thing that definitely makes me sad and upset, is when teachers try to make us talk about personal subjects during class or for an assignment. I don't think its necessary for teachers to know every bit about our personal lives. It's not their problem and they don't need to act like a guidance counselor. It really bothers me when people I'm not close with try to talk to me about personal topic that do not concern them. So yes in fact I have rejected people before; I've rejected some people by refusing to tell them about my personal life and teaching them to mind their own business.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, some people do not know when to stop. Sometimes people should not ask certain questions to people they do not know well.
DeleteI feel the same way. I don't like talking about my personal life in front of many people or people I am not close to.

The thing that makes me really sad is seeing someone that I care a lot about being sad. When other people are sad I just want to help them because I know that when I’m sad I want my close friends to be there to comfort me. I actually reject a lot of people because when they want to know about my personal life and I don’t feel the need to tell them, then I won’t. For example, people that I know but aren't really close with like classmates and people that go to my school and teachers who always ask about my life. I don’t like when that happens so I reject them.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. When people that I'm not close with try to comfort me, i will awkward and I rehdct the offer.
DeleteSomething that makes me very sad is knowing that there are way too many people in the world that are sick or very poor, and there’s not much being done about it. I consider myself very fortunate to have the life that I have because I am provided with a home, food and education. I find it sad that we take education for granted while there are children on the other side of the world whose wishes are to go to school. I do not think it is fair that there are some people who do get to live a good life and some that don’t because of where they live. I also find it sad that there are not more people who try to end this cause. People often forget about what many people go through because they are on the other side of the world, but they shouldn’t because it should not matter where you live because since it is like that, it can define your life. If you are born in a poor country, it is a lot harder to get a well-paying job. The world shouldn’t be like this because it is unfair and they didn’t choose to live there.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Lea. I find that so sad knowing that we can get an education for not that much and we find it terrible when people across the world actually want to go to school and learn and that we have it easy and they dont.
DeleteThis may sound stupid to some other people,but the thing that really get's me into a depression is my hockey issues, tryouts, and pressure. For example, this year, after 8 weeks of trying out for AAA, AA and A I ended up being cut by two teams, losing a lot of my friends in the process. I have been on the AA team for the past three years and I had become comfortable with all the girls on that team despite the fact they were older than me. There were simply too many girls this year, since I moved yet again to a higher age group, now playing with girls 3 years older than me instead of 2. I was one of the last 3 girls cut from the AA team and was so depressed that I almost wanted to quit the sport entirely! I felt rejected by my old coaches, my old friends, my old teammates, and I was just so embarrassed that most of my friends made it and I didn't. It took me a really long time to get past it, but now I'm playing on the A team now, and working on developing new friendships.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that makes me sad is seeing people I care about, sad. I mostly get upset about this because you can be really close to the person and you want to do everything that you can do to make them feel better. Sometimes the best thing to help them is to give them space.
ReplyDeleteI feel really bad if I am the cause of the sadness. I remember in elementary school I once rejected someone from doing a project, with me. Now, I look back at that decision and I realize that, that was a very mean decision to make. I just didn’t want to work with them and I was not paying attention to that other person’s feelings.
I am not someone who gets sad about much but what typically makes me very sad are deaths. Luckily, I haven't experienced any deaths in my close family, but if I watch movies and someone passes away for any reason I get very emotional. I'm not quite sure what really gets me, but I think it's just natural to be watching someone pass. Usually, I get the most emotional when a young child dies because I have many younger cousins and a younger sister so I always think to myself what if that happened in my family? I am also a huge animal lover so if I ever see an animal being tortured or dying I get very sad.

Personally I am someone who gets really sad over things but one thing that really gets me sad is being rejected by someone. I think that is something that is not only really sad but it also hurts. I have not been rejected many times and when I have been, it really hurt and I was sad for such a long time. I think that being rejected is probably one of the worst feelings in the world because it's as if someone doesn't want you in some situations. For example, someone wanting to go to a certain college their entire life and when they apply, they get rejected by the schoo. It will hurt so much and they will most likely be sad. But personally, I don't really find it sad when someone asks someone else out and they say no. I don't really know why but that doesn't really get me that sad because they can find someone else that may be better. But overall, what makes me really sad is someone getting rejected.
ReplyDeleteI used to not be very easily saddened till quite recently when I started getting more in tune with my own emotions and the emotions of others. I now get saddened quite easily, whether it be because someone else is sad and I feel either sympathy or empathy towards them, or because something sad happened in a book i'm reading I will because sad. And example of this js recently I was reading a book and there was a part that was not even that sad, and I burst out in tears because I just found it so unfair what was happening to the character. I have personally never been rejected because I have never really liked someone, yes measly crushes that lasted a week tops but nothing that would cause me distress if I got rejected by one of them.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that really makes me sad is failure. I get sad when people died because I feel like I failed to save them or I failed to make them happy. I get sad when I fail a class because I feel like I could do better. Whenever I get sad, it is linked to failure. If someone died at the age of 100 and was super happy and accomplished, then I would not be sad.Because then I feel like I did not fail.I have never really been rejected and I am pretty sure I have never rejected anyone and I wish that this never happenss
ReplyDeleteFailure and disappointment make me really sad as well. I agree with you in that I believe that failure is linked to sadness.
DeleteI don't usually get sad over a lot of things because i try not to let a lot of things bother me. One thing that makes me very sad is seeing other people sad. It always puts me in a bad mood to see other people who are upset. I find it especially difficult when people won't tell me what's wrong and i can't help them or make them feel better. I do understand that when people are upset about something, they sometimes need their space but not being able to make someone feel better makes me feel helpless and frustrated. Another thing that makes me sad is when people are mean to each other. Sometimes people do it as a joke and it gets out of hand. Other times people are just mean for their own amusement. I will never really understand how putting someone else down could ever make you feel better about yourself. It just frustrates me because i just wish people treated each other better. It doesn't hurt to be nice, so why not do it.
ReplyDeleteI find that I am rarely ever sad in fact I always try ti be a very happy person and be positive about things. The only times I think i get sad is probably when something happens within my family such as a death or a really serious incident. I also don't like letting people down I get really sad if I let someone down or just mess up a plan they made but other then that another thing that gets me sad is homework on weekends there is nothing worse then having to worry about homework during the weekend. - Dennis Mayuga
ReplyDeleteI am a very positive and happy person and I do not get sad very often but there are a few things that really make me sad. The thing that I would say makes me most sad is disappointing someone who I care about or who's opinion I value. I absolutely hate disappointing my parents. When I am rude to my parents or if I do something wrong my dad does not bother to yell at me because he knows that I will just listen to him and then walk away feeling sorry for my self that I was just yelled at so instead he just gives me the look. The look that says he knows I am better than that and that I have let him down. The fact that I let him down me makes me so mad at my self but more so sad that I allowed my self to disappoint him. The look of disappointment in my parents eyes is much worse than any lecture or yelling match. I do not only regret what I did but feel sad that I did it and feel sad with my self. I also hate disappointing a friend by telling them I will do something and not following through with it. I hate this because I know that if it was the other way around that I would be upset. If I ever let a friend, a teacher or even my parents down I am simply left with the feeling of disappointment in my my self and overall sadness.
ReplyDeletei often look as though I'm always happy but that doesn't seem to be the case, I'm often sad to be completely honest and especially around family or sometimes even when I'm alone. things that get me sad are what people rudely say about me behind my back or when I'm bored, a death has happened or being a disappointment i get mostly sad. i get sad when i can't accomplish something or achieve a goal as well. I've rejected people in the past and it is not a fun feeling. not only do you make them feel bad but you yourself feel bad.
