What would cheer you up when you are down?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes, a bad mood just comes. What do you do to feel better?

[dynamicyandere]

I’m a very positive and emotionally resilient person.


Almost all the time, it’s people who lean on me for emotional support rather than the other way around. Whether it’s raising morale at work or encouraging a friend, I’m that guy. I’m also my significant other’s rock that she can always rely on.


It’s very difficult to get me down. Even a job loss is something I’m able to just shrug off and move forward about. Or if something really bad happens, I’m always able to put a positive spin on it.


I’m always one to look on the bright side and find the silver lining in everything.


That’s how I’m always able to stay positive for others around me.


So, if I’m truly down, it’s very difficult to ‘cheer’ me up — because it’s probably something major — like the death of a loved one.


In situations like that, the best thing one can do is not ‘cheer’ me up per se, but to comfort me through empathy and a listening ear.



As for my positive emotions, those will return on their own, after I have processed my pain.

my cats always do that for me...

[Asker]

Yeah... when my furry friends were still with me, they did the same.

[NathanDavis]

no time or space to adopt or rescue a couple more?

I know is not always easy to get them in your life, so...

[Asker]

Currently, I can't, maybe in some time. But not now, unfortunately.

[NathanDavis]

sooner rather than later, I hope so (=

[Asker]

Thanks ❤️

[NathanDavis]

most welcome

The impossible - to bring my boyfriend friend who died in September back to life again. I miss him 💔 being here and laughing together.
So, nothing g could top that to make me feel better.

[Asker]

I feel for you. My best friend passed away 10 years ago. She had heart problems. I still miss her badly.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Dancing…

I stand in front of the mirror and dance. It always helps me find power, confidence and love of life again.

[JustinTheGreat]

Talk to my friends, watch my favorite shows, or listen to my favorite music

[aceleon]

before a week i could say things like movies, fanfictions, musics and animes but right now i think only thing that can cheer me up right now is either gaining the ability to enter the fanfiction i am reading back or don't needing to pass the kpss.

[Asker]

What do you read? Can you share?

[aceleon]

i'm a naruto fan so i read naruto fanfictions mostly sasuhina fanfictions or sasuke/itachi/kakashi crossovers at other anime verses like high school dxd, avatar the last airbender, bleach etc etc, i admit i read narusasu fanfictions too but i'm more interested in their feelings mostly platonic like brotherhood or vastly non-smut
i also read other anime fanfictions but most of the time i find the main character too boring so i stuck to sasuke fanfictions, i feel disheartened to even read zuko fanfictions cause most of the time they change zuko too much into a softie, yes he is a softie inside but not this blatantly and boringly.

[Asker]

I'm aware of those fanfictions, my daughter reads it. I stuck on Jujutsu Kaisen. It will take some time before I move to another anime

[Unit1]

Girls!

Girls?

Girls!

[Asker]

Asian girls are beautiful. But I definitely prefer men!!

[Unit1]

I should add not just any girls.
Nice girls do the trick.

[LavLavLuv]

Music, favorite food, talking to my favorite people

[Asker]

I have to try with food then. Thanks for sharing.

[LavLavLuv]

🤗🤗

[Flatmanlewis]

Go for a hike. Time with the doggos. A nice cigar and cocktail. Family time. Perfect a hobby. A cup of tea and a good book. Take a drive to see the ocean. Write down 10 things I’m grateful for and reflect on each one for a minute.

[SomeRandomFrenchGirl]

I take a hot shower, put my confort clothes, eat junk food and if possible hang with my dog

[Asker]

just a test lol

[Still-alive]

Animal videos on youtube do the trick for me. especially cats hehe

https://www.youtube.com/embed/ud816j4r91Y

[Asker]

Oh... cats videos are the best, thanks for sharing!

[DaveJord]

I smoke a nice bowl, sit on my back poor like the guy in the picture listen to the birds, watching the clouds float by, humming birds feeding, and contemplate life.

[OfMiceandMen]

I hang out with my pets, call my daughter to say hi and see how she is doing. Maybe call my parents and talk to them.

It's not often I am in a bad mood, maybe once a month or so.

[Mansearching]

I just let it pass. Try not to carry it around.

[Asker]

It's not so easy, especially if you are walking volcano of emotions.

[Mansearching]

No its not. Its very hard.

[Jennz6]

To be friends with everyone on GaG

[Asker]

And how is it going?

[Jennz6]

I have some really great friends here that share their experiences with me 💕

[BLP11520]

that is sweet

[Jennz6]

@BLP11520 thank you honey 💕

[BLP11520]

welcome

[Nikki1989]

Listen to or play music. Nothing is more exhilarating for me than nailing a new keyboard or guitar part.

[electromagnetic]

When I’m not in the best of moods, I usually clean crackhead style and that gets me going again.

[RoseySarah]

Usually my friends and spending time on my hobbies! Just painted 4 pumpkins for friends.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Definitely ice cream cheers me up. Other than that, a walk with some sunshine.

[RedInnocent68]

That’s easy! Good food, wine, and lots of sex. It’s the answer to lots of things really…

[Rangers]

Nothing cheers me up, being down is my basic feeling

[worldscolide]

Spending time cuddling with my wife, or gaming with my wife.

[OlderAndWiser]

Sex. Lots of sex.

[hbkfan]

I usually listen to music or talk to my best friend about whatever I'm dealing with

[Andres77]

Beer, books or masturbation

[Asker]

Didn't try masturbation, but books do the trick for me. Refocusing is a nice distraction strategy

[Andres77]

If none of these help, then I’ll experiment with a new recipe in the kitchen, or I will start another project to keep my mind distracted

[Asker]

I hate cooking. But new project also should do the trick

[Andres77]

When I’m feeling down the kind of music that I pick usually reinforces the mood and leaves me even more sad, so I tend to stay away from music when I feel down

[Asker]

I always choose dark, sad, or desperate songs. To hit the bottom. And then something I know very good and like. It also helps.

[love_conquers_lust]

Music. Exercise.

[Asker]

Yeah, exercising can make you happy 😀

[Wise4myage]

Music and comedy does the trick for me.

[Asker]

Music also works for me. I like to listen to something dark first and then move for something lighter, I know very well and like.

[In_Trance]

Easy

[pickles77]

I feel better

[Simslover92]

Listening to music usually helps me.

[Anonymous]

To be honest, beer

[Asker]

A lot of people say that a beer is good if you feel down.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes it is! But in moderation so that it won't ruin your liver in a long run

[collie22]

Talk with my brother

[Fromdusktilldawn]

talking to someone would help me

[Maddy2002_]

I put a cheesy comedy on seems to work.

[BLP11520]

loud MUSIC !!! lol

[BLP11520]

playing with a pet is good

[BLP11520]
