Is it horrible to feel sad?

Question

My best friends just made a volleyball team!! But if they didn't, I would be able to play on a team this year. And since they did, I don't think I'm going to play volleyball this year! Is it bad to feel sad even though I should be happy for them??

Answer 1

No,You should be sad but dont quit, volleyball is a great sport and next year you will get it if you keep practicing

Answer 2

You have the right to feel sad when something you wanted doesn't work out in your favor. But be sure to feel happiness for your friend. If it was the other way around and you made it and your friends didn't, you would want them to be happy for you and support you. Don't worry, you can still go to the games and rout for them and show support. Also there will always be next season. You can use your extra time now to work towards something else possibly related to a school team. Just have fun and stay positive for yourself and those around you!

Answer 3

no it is okay to feel sad..................yea u are happy for them but them again because of them you might not get enough playing time........ just try your best .............and don't feel bad it happens

Answer 4

No, you have a right to be sad! The line is, be sad for yourself, and happy for your friends. Just make sure you don't resent them in their accomplishments. You can grieve for yourself, it's perfectly normal.

Answer 5

Just because your friends made a volleyball team, that doesn't mean you have to sit there and cry that you can't play volleyball anymore.

Shape up and read.

Try out for another team.  Try your local YMCA (if you have one).  Keep pursuing your dreams to have a career in volleyball.  If you give up because you didn't make a team, go back to recreational volleyball.
