What you’re experiencing—feeling uncomfortable when people around you are happy and enjoying—can be a real emotional reaction, but it’s not necessarily a psychological disorder on its own. It may be a temporary feeling tied to what you’re going through internally: unresolved sadness, emotional numbness, loneliness, or even a sense of disconnection. Sometimes, when we’re not feeling okay ourselves, other people’s happiness can feel like a painful reminder of what we’re missing, which can trigger guilt, shame, or even envy.
But if this feeling persists, happens often, or starts interfering with your relationships or self-worth, it could point toward something deeper—like depression, low self-esteem, or even emotional burnout. Therapy can help unpack the “why” behind this discomfort and teach you to sit with it, explore it, and eventually shift how you relate to joy—both yours and others’.
Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
Based on the single symptom alone it cannot be construed as a psychological disorder. If you are worried consult a psychiatrist, they might ask a few more questions to ensure if everything is fine. Good luck
Hello,
Human emotions can be complex to understand sometimes.
When you see people happy and enjoying themselves, you could be going through the " compare and despair" feeling. This feeling could be inferred in several ways by your mind such as " why I am not as happy", " why I am not a part of their joy".
It is a state of mind which keeps evolving and not necessarily related to a disorder.
I wish you happiness that generates from within you and spreads in your surroundings.
