Truthfully, there're only a handful of people in this world who really get joy from seeing you happy. Most won't care if you’re happy, only if you're miserable like they are. They eat that shit up.

About This Quote

Even though they may not show it, most people in the world are unhappy. However, they hide this unhappiness by pretending to be happy. They want you to look at them in the same way that they look at themselves. The few people who do genuinely care about your happiness are rarely the ones who bring you down. They are the ones who want you to be happy, but aren't afraid to tell you when you're being an idiot.
