Can you actually be too happy, or is endless happiness healthy?

can you really be, truly happy... without perspective, without a reference...

I think, I don't know for sure... but, I think that I am happier today, because of the not-so-good-moments in the past too

it makes me appreciate things much more so...

There is no such thing as being too happy.

Endless happiness can definitely be unhealthy to you because you are living on a cloud, in a dream and do not face reality or have no longer the ability to be impartial or you would fall from so high the day something goes wrong.

Another negative aspect of permanent happiness is the consequences it may have on your behavior.

Just imagine for a second that you have a hard time to control the release of those happiness hormones (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins). Some people go into a shopping craze when they are happy while others eat themselves to obesity.

How do you handle being broke and having your house full of junk you don't need because you went binge shopping and ate 6,000 calories every day because of your permanent happiness?

To anwser the last part then that what depend on your habitual way of coping, everyone is different. Like someone said if its genuine happiness it shouldn't be a problem but lets be real we live in this world kind of hard to be genuinely happy for a long period of time. haha

If your happy your happy and thats a great thing but happiness is a state not a structure. So you can't actually be happy all the time. Sometimes you feel tired or bored or sad. Amd it's only against those states can you measure ahd feel happiness.

Endless genuine happiness is NOT problem , but that's if it's somehow genuine , because to be seriously happy you have to have played with sadness , you need to be NOT involved with script drugs , and with all that is mind.. Who is endlessly happy?

So in conclusion , not sure it genuinely exists , but if so , and real , meeting the peramiters in mind = then Great !

Not sure it's possible.

I don’t think there is such a thing. It just means we manage our sadness or disappointment differently.
