1. 竹下憲二 (takeshitakenji@quitter.se)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Feb-2016 19:48:17 UTC 竹下憲二
   I often feel like I shouldn't be happy, and that my happiness somehow always detracts from somebody else's.

     @takeshitakenji why should a happier @takeshitakenji make someone else unhappier? The opposite! You being happier makes others happier, too.

     @takeshitakenji let's say I (or you or anybody) was very unhappy today – would that make anybody here a bit happier? I don't think so.

     @takeshitakenji I think venting is ok! There's a German saying "Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid". A trouble shared is a trouble halved.

     @takeshitakenji I don't think you venting makes the readers "unhappy". It's rather: people will feel with you, empathy.

     @takeshitakenji Maybe people don't want to interrupt you, or don't want to give unwanted advice. But they will still feel with you.

     @takeshitakenji maybe it's a bit different here. :-)
