I'm so sorry. You know though, those people you described don't sound happy to me at all. I mean, look at what you said:

they just seem like a close, happy family.
I know I shouldn't but I look at their profiles on Facebook and they all look so happy with their lives and it seems like they have everything going for them, why, I don't think they deserve it, they are not very good human beings, unkind, cruel, they talk behing peoples back, etc. |
To me, a happy person, a truly happy person, is one that is kind and helpful and easygoing. Happy people love being kind and humorous because they love sharing their happiness. It comes as easily to them as breathing.
People who are cruel and unkind cannot be happy; these are all symptoms like an illness. They show that any happiness they have is superficial and ultimately a lie. That kind of happiness is an ugly mask worn to cover up flaws and to help ease people into denial.
Remember too that this happiness - this fake, mask-like happiness - is often put on as a show to give a person or a family status and power over someone else. "Look at how happy and close we are! Aren't we great? Don't you just suck?" And then they exclude you from their club to make themselves feel superior and "closer." It's like the popular kids at school and how they bully everyone else.
That kind of closeness and happiness is fake. It's all role play to keep the family together, otherwise they'd have to see each other as they really were. Then they'd just be miserable.
They've conned themselves into thinking they're happy, but don't let them con you too! Don't let yourself bare the burden of their misery.
Have the last laugh. After all, YOU can walk away. They can't. They're stuck with each other but you can leave. YOU can be happy. You have realised that, not only (thank god) are you not like them, but you're actually the opposite of them. You've realised you can see through this sham and that there's something really valuable in kindness and loyalty and being open.
The best revenge is to leave them to it. Walk away laughing and don't put up with such BS in your life. |
