Why are some people never satisfied?

Question

THeres people that go through life and are content with everything. Then there are others that are uncontent no matter what they do or have in life?

Answer 1

i think its because they have 2 much so they can't apreciate the smaller things. for example a kid who is straving will b so content with a piece of bread while we aren't even content with a full platter. basically we don't c what we have ing our plates we just envy other people. and maybe its also because some people like themselves more than others and have a spirtitual relation with themselves.

Answer 2

You must have read my mind. Sometimes I'm like that too though. I think people, including me, sometimes dwell on what we don't have, instead of realizing how much we do have. Even if we know we have a lot to be happy about, sometimes you just want everything (EVERYTHING) to be perfect. I believe this feeling is what also motivates us to accomplish things, and change for the better. This happened to me recently, It was my birthday, my last birthday of being a minor, or underaged, and I was just plain B*tchy! Everyone was so happy for me and complete strangers where giving me gifts, yet I was pissed, because my dad didn't bring me a dollar cheeseburger to work for lunch. Sometimes you can have everything, but if it's not what you want, you just don't feel satisfied.

Answer 3

The simplest answer is because they don't know how to be satisfied. They live in a world of their imagination and how they'd like everything to be (and believe that they NEED everything to be their way) and compared to what reality offers are constantly disappointed.

Those who can accept, appreciate, enjoy, and genuinely love whatever life brings are those that stay content. These people do not feel a need to have everything go their way all the time.

It's the difference between trying to steer the ship all the time and just sitting back and enjoying the ride.

Answer 4

it depends on what you have been through, are going through and the emotional pain you are experiencing because of it!  Life is not roses for everyone just because it may be that way for you.  Grow some compassion!

Answer 5

Genetics or environment or too much advertising.  I think people have a certain disposition. They're either content and basically happy with their situation or they're mean, miserable people that you don't want to be around.

Answer 6

Some people thrive on drama and unhappiness. I guess negative attention is better than no attention at all?
