Is being sad a bad thing?

@@Shady Bubbles: I completely forgot about that Butters scene.  That is such a perfect description.  Nailed it.

Right? Some people can't stand South Park and just see it as raunchy toilet humor, but the show actually does have some heartwarming moments

It’s bad only when it forces ya to drink too much alcohol. Or when it’s nobody around to support you and to show ya, that things ain’t as bad as they seem to you.

Yes some one that understands that every time I tell people there are two different types of sadness they just give me a blank expression now I can explain it to them by showing them this

I agree with this statement, and I love being sad, It's that feeling that I think a pool gets when it gets cleaned out; it's a refreshing sensation that makes me feel new.

I actually do a similar thing, except I essentially never cry as a result of it. But I do listen to sad music when I'm feeling sad, or sometimes because oddly enough I want to feel sad, or I'll sometimes read sad fanfics, but I don't read a lot of fanfics, so that's kind of rare.

 

Still I actually kind of want to cry a lot of times, but I feel I can't. I think that's why I listen to sad music or stuff like that, because while I feel sad, I am not at the point of crying, so there is just all this tension that I can't release and I just want to get rid of it. :/.

 

That's how it is with me I find typically, although sometimes I think I'm just being an attention hog and trying to find a reason for people to give me attention.

 

Regardless of my personal experiences, sadness is not a bad thing, crying is not a bad thing, both in the right amount.

 

However prolonged sadness will just lead to depression, and depression, depression freaking sucks, you just feel hopeless, it's like being trapped in a really deep hole with nothing, just you, and it seems no matter how many times you try to climb out, you just fall back down right to square one.

 

But sadness can be quite good, it shows and can help foster sympathy, and the sad feelings you get from reading sad fics or listening to sad music are actually kind of a warm feeling, hard to explain, but I'm sure you get what I mean. It's kind of like this heartwarming feeling where you feel bad and want to help more so than anything, it's almost more sympathy or empathy than sadness sometimes.

 

And crying can be a good stress reliever, unfortunately for many of us guys crying may not be so easy, because unlike girls, guys aren't typically allow to cry, atleast without being judged badly, and being thought of as a wimp.

 

And for me this stuff almost passively carries over to even when I'm alone and it makes it hard to cry wherever I am.

 

But it is a good thing, it clears out your eyes, as well as your emotions, and it can actually be quite refreshing, almost like a warm shower.

 

Anyways it's nice to see I'm not the only one who does something like that. But I wouldn't feel weird for it, and nothing is wrong with sadness or crying, in moderation.

Sadness like any other emotion is a mandatory cycle any human has to go through. They just happen~

 

To feel the need to cycle through one specific emotion more than others, may mean that you've tried to suppress it too much and may be seeking an outlet to catch up on cycling through said emotion~

 

In other words, it is what it is~
