I’ve Been Unhappy The Past 7 Years

Why do we frequently and willingly choose unhappiness?

Recently, I was chatting with someone about their career. While reviewing their resume I said:

Me: Wow! You’ve been at your company for 7 years, you must’ve really enjoyed your time there. When did you realize you were no longer happy and ready for something different?

Them: Well… I’ve been unhappy this whole time.

My jaw invisibly dropped. 7 years is a long time to willingly be unhappy.

But this isn’t uncommon; we often stick with things and people that add misery to our lives.

Try something different. Be an outlier. Leave a situation that is adding misery to your life. It sucks to be forced into unhappiness. What’s worse is willingly choosing unhappiness.
