Do you think that one person can be responsible for another persons happiness at all times. I'm currently having this debate with a friend and wanted to get your input. Personally I don't agree. It does not matter how good a person; wife, husband, partner etc. is they can't control your life or the obstacles you may face. Now I'm not saying that a person can make you happier tham certain others but to say they control all your happiness is a little too good to be true.
only you can be responsible for you happiness... and if you are happy in your own skin, you will attract like individuals... from that happiness flourishes..
If you are looking for someone to be your happiness for you, you will surely be disappointed.
That is too much pressure to put on a person. And if and when it ever ends, you will be LOST.
I was in a relationship where she expected me to be her happiness. And when we broke up, she wanted to lay down on the train tracks. And she was serious.
Thank god, she didn't do it. But that goes to show (me, at least) that I have to make myself happy first, and let others make me happy, second.
It is impossible to achieve complete happiness for an individual. Anyone in this boat really needs to attend group therapy because it is a trait of low self-esteem and suicide risk. I can't believe she was just ready to die O wait I can I have had one of those breakup a before but I realized it was just too many fish to cry over spilled milk. I wish that we as people stop enabling others with these characteristics and get them some real help! Because lucky in this case she did not do it but there are many who have jumped the gun after a bad relationship. When you give a person everything you leave yourself nothing.
carry the weight of having to make another person happy; that's very unfair. And expecting another person to make one happy is one the main reasons for unhappiness in our society and we live in an epidemic of this.
I recommend that you read "The Eden Project" by James Holli
"You hurt my feelings." Um, no you're just sensitive. "You made me cheat." No, your d*ck made you cheat. "You bit me" said the owner of a snake. Snake replied, "Well, what did you expect, I told you I was a snake."
Too many people put demands and responsibilities on others for what they are lacking inside. If you're a miserable person, it's not anyone else's fault. In extreme abuse cases, you see some people use that abuse and become powerful and inspirational people for others, and you see just the opposite...those who fall into a deep depression and can't get out of it because of the trauma they suffered.
Our happiness or lack thereof, comes from a command. YES, you CAN decide to be happy, just like you can decide to me miserable. It is just easier to have a pity party, and blame others than facing truth about ourselves many times.
There are people in prison who are truly at peace and live with abounding joy...same goes for starving children and those dying of cancer. There is this place inside us, where you can find that peace, but you will be alone for a while before you can get there.

Oh shut up! I like her lol.
We're u talkin abt me? Cuz I don't know how my post would be misconstrued as advertising...
...it comes from within. No one else can tell you how to feel.
I used to be naive, but now I realize I am the Master of my own happiness.
Do at least 1 thing you truly enjoy everyday!
Now that's enticing... and it keeps you healthy as well as happy!
It's not possible for someone to make you happy. You will decide that. You control the situation not them.
is "On Me" NOT "On You"
I am very happy though and you could make me more happy by visiting Andover / Tewksbury Ma.
A person is solely responsible for their own happiness. No one can make another person happy including, God and God gave up trying millions of years ago.
No person or individual can ever make you happier than your self.
I am assuming your question is not based on material things and you are looking for more of spiritual answer.
Here is quote for you:
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony”.
As someone once told me, you can either play the victim or the hero in the story of your life. You choose the people that are in your life, if someone is making you miserable it's your own fault.
but it is extremely dangerous and a sure sign of severe psychological instability on the part of the receiver. unfortunately i gained this enlightenment the hard way.
