Quote

Much unhappiness comes from walking alone. When there are several, it's somewhat different. I must get into the habit of listening to others, for what the others say concerns me, too.

I don't want to get hung up on what 'people,' that nebulous mass, think about me. That's the way to unhappiness, I think.

There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm too happy being myself.

I don't really have any traits that I deplore. I get annoyed with myself sometimes, but that's about it.

I think one thing that does cause unhappiness is protracted anxiety and worry.

I know that sounds selfish, but you have to look at what it's doing to you personally - are you frustrated because of the way people perceive you, or are you happy enough about the things you've realized about yourself that you can tolerate the way people perceive you?

I do not enjoy when people don't like me.

Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.

I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think?

Just try to be happy. Unhappiness starts with wanting to be happier.
