Ever been sad?

True life story: Two years back I got stuck in my head and was solely focused on the negative aspects of life, I started finding faults in myself, and I estranged myself from people, it felt more like I was cutting myself away from the world, often I'd just pay more attention to the things I don't have and that would lead to me being sad, I wasn't contented with everything happening in my life.

Then one day I had a longish chat with my friend and the kind of words she uttered touched me to the point I forgot about the particular feeling I was having and just focused on her words, at that moment I realized how powerful words were, and all these while I've been using the wrong words on myself. After the conversation, I tried to make everything right by taking back those wrongs I'd been saying to myself, I focused more on the little things I have accomplished, the little milestones I've attained.

Life they say is full of uncertainties and when these uncertain situations happen, we become faced with reality and feel sad, now I'm beginning to wish for something that seems impossible though, well I'm gonna say it "I wish sadness wasn't just a feeling but something we can see and touch omo I would have engaged in physical fist whenever it comes like this" but then the only things we can fight physically are the events that trigger sadness in our life.

Everyone feels sad sometimes, it is part of the human race, just like how we feel every other emotion, sadness often occurs when we are angry and stressed, so many factors can contribute to one being sad. The worst thing about these emotions is the fact that they can't be hidden or faked, have you ever been sad and told someone when they asked if you were fine and you just said "I'm fine" but your facial expression is saying something else.

Different persons have different ways in which they deal with sadness, I know someone when he is sad he cuts everyone around him off sometimes for months I told him, I've been in a phase like this before but the thing is, it doesn't help sometimes it even makes things worse then I would be like "What happened to the saying a problem shared is a problem solved or half solved" It is okay to be sad but then you don't extend it to the people that care about you and your well-being by ignoring them even when they try to reach out now that is "bad".

One thing that has helped me deal with sadness is talking to people, I share my feelings with people like a friend or a family member, I feel like talking to people has a way of brightening our mood, sometimes it feels like something has been lifted off me.

Another thing I do to deal with sadness is to engage in something I love doing and one thing I love is watching nice movies, which will enable me to distract myself from that feeling of being sad for a while and focus more on the movie.
