It doesnt make you insane but even if a close family member or friend died youd immediately be accepting of it and be happy for the time you had with them. Youd essentially skip any sadness or grieving periods.

It would make you unnaturally accepting, forgiving and optimistic about everything sad.

Like anti depressants?

Probably not. I hate to have to depend on any substance for happiness.

No.

I don't want to set myself up for failure through false optimism. I'd rather pursue channels that lead to happiness in a nature way.

This doesnt numb or make you feel silly. This would quite literally remove sadness.

Yall say alcohol but it works very differently with random people. I dont want to get too real but i know some people that simply cant drink enough to cope with certain losses.

Nope, sounds like some sort of reliance/addiction could form and if the drug is as perfect as you say it would prolly be expensive af

No, because

  1. I don't want to rely and get addicted to drugs. Particularly one for happiness
  2. You don't even need movies like Inside Out to tell you that experiencing sorrow will keep you grounded, not let you take things for granted, and motivate you to learn from your mistakes

You dont get to feel sad with this drug. You wont feel like crying, ever. If you ever thought feeling sad helped you appreciate anything youd hate this drug. If you were sad and couldnt get over it then youd probably like it.

Itd be a drug that would bypass your sad reaction/emotion.

No, i've known a few people that live off of "artificial happiness" and are just kind of in a weird zone constantly like everything is unicorn farts and rainbows. If I could find something that would balance me out emotionally but not mess with me or my personality, that would be ideal.

I tried xanax from the doc a year ago, took one, put me to sleep for 5 hours, then just felt groggy as shit the rest of the day. That's not gonna help me, I tried one more and it's not for me. I don't wanna be shot into a happy cloud, I just want to feel more normal and less constantly dragged through the mud for no reason.

You still understand its sad. Youd just skip straight to being ok with it.

You know how you understand plenty of people are dying right now but its a natural part of life so youre not crying about it. Youd be like that with close friends dying as well.

I don't want it man. Sadness is a part of life. As much as it hurts to know I couldn't save my dad from brain cancer when he passed away 3 months ago, after 11 months of suffering.. Being happy artificially all the time would just not just make me value human relationships as much. Suffering teaches you a painful but valuable lesson to not take relationships and life for granted. It also teaches you empathy for people going through hard times. Living in bliss 24-7 would literally make you live in ignorance. You would only care about yourself and would forget the value of human and animal ife.

No need. I'm already optimistic by nature. No point throwing away the few moments of sadness I'll have. I'll get over them sooner or later and get back to enjoying life.
