@ Sis Ameena- Hmm interesting...but you're still implying that you do have 'glum' moments..but SubhanAllah maybe you're the type to blank them out? I dunno but everybody has patience at different levels I guess and deals with things in different ways...some people, including myself turn to the idea that Allah does not overburden any soul...whilst others, also including myself...try to cover it with something else...as long as we dont despair then I guess any of the two ways would work...But I still think that if you're extra EXTRA happy, there's usually something being hidden, if not consciously then unconsciously. Because I dont think anybody is without problems, SubhanAllah this whole dunya is a test.

Just a lil question Insha'Allah...

How true do you think is it that when somebody is upbeat all the time and constantly hyper, that there's something else really going on behind the scenes, that the happiness is a cover for something else?

I'm exactly like that. There's nothing going on behind the scenes. Sometimes I do get down or frustrated, but I just forget about whatever's bothering me, smile, and be happy. :)

The only thing super-hyper, unnaturally happy people are hiding is their Prozac prescription.
 
the not overburdening a soul works for me.


you know how i take it?, whenever something happens i think to myself, "lol is this it? Alhamdulillah, i can take this!" and if things gt worse just take the same thinking style. Infact i hav thought about the exact worst thing that can happen to me, which would be me turning into a chicken (armless/legless/cant see etc/cant talk, no family) and thot hmm, now mayb that wud be difficult. But i'll cross that bridge when i get there



seriously, no matter which problem i hear these days its like "lol is that it?!"


i hope i didnt offend anyone.

I feel the need to laugh so I shall leave you lots to it *grins like a maniac* and bro IbnAbdulHakim...funny you should mention 'chicken'...if only you knew of its relevance....

AssalamuAlaykum

I just wanted to clarify...I didnt mean to generalise by the way...But ok I know that its not always that something else is going on behind the scenes...Its just for me its usually pent-up fustration which I cover-up by acting a lil hyper (well a lot hyper... but it depend on who you ask *coughcough*) ...but yeah...not everybody is like that and if you're not then good on ya! *grin*

WassalamuAlaykum

P.S Is it just me or is LI not workin proper?
 
lol mind your own buzinaas!!

i think that people are generally happy, well most people are, there are the occasional un sociable types :mmokay:

but it depens on the person aswell, like some people are always generally really happy, and like everyone they will have their down days, but just because their happy you cant say they hiding summin lol

i think the ones that act happy and aint, can easily be like worked out . .
 
AssalamuAlaykum

Why hello there Freud *grin*

Hmm...I think (remember its me thats thinking so no need to take me seriously) I think that happiness becomes a habit sometimes...so even if you are down people cant tell...

And I'd say that at some point or other in ones life...I think the happiness will definately be a cover *smile* I think its reaction formation and I think its true...but then again I think weird things so yeh... *grin*

WassalamuAlaykum
 
personally i think its best to take people for face value, like if you look to deep into a person you might just be looking for stuff that aint there!!!

so if someone appears happy, assume they are, if they dont appear happy, then lock them up in a room :p naa jokin shokin

but yeah like you cant really know what a person is like unless you know them!
 
AssalamuAlaykum

Lol Ookay...but this is about looking deep into yourself not anybody else...and weather or not what I said is true for you...

WassalamuAlaykum

I'll pretend I didnt notice that as I dont like making edits...

But yeah...I've also noticed that some people who are aware of their inner conflicts will not look 'deep into themselves'....*grin* afraid of what they might find....(and no, we're not talking buried treasure) *grin* now that should get you posting Akhee...

WassalamuAlaykum
 
i would describe myself as a upbeat, bubbly, sociable type person

and i know people percieve me like that!

but i disagree that people are hiding something when their happy,

quite a lot of people are genuine about the way they feel, like they will say "im having a crap day or summin"

so yeah lol it depends on how well you know the person aswell
 
AssalamuAlaykum

Masha'Allah Akhee...

But I still remain firm on the idea that sometimes it is the case that the happiness is a cover...actually all the people who said they were constantly upbeat just proved it...everybody...EVERYODY...will face difficulties at one time or another in their lives...and according to them; if they're constantly happy then they'll show happiness at times like those also...hence proving my point...Capiche?

WassalamuAlaykum
 
you know when you feel sweet sakeena,

u'll just smile most of the time, you wont be that hyper. but you'll be nice

just something ive observed, when i feel at peace, im calm and collected, when im hyper... theres somethin unsettling...
 
:salamext:

^ yeh...

Its like if ur too high and hyper, ur trying to hide something...
 
AsslaamuAlaykum

*grin* Ahhh man!

Dreamer is strange, you all know that right? So when Dreamer feels a most beautiful sweet sakeenah (like now *smile*) it affects her in strange ways...hehe and hyperness is one...Sakeenah is peace, tranquility right, but you feel happy...so0o0o happy, and for me...that leads to hyperness...

But yeah...I'm not going to lie...sometimes the hyperness is a cover...but you'll never guess that unless you ask me...because it could always be either one of the two...i.e. real happiness (like today)...or fake hyperness....(like....err....cant remember) *grin*

WassalamuAlaykum
 
its good to be happy mashaAllah...


hav you ever thought about what emotions go threw you when your hyper?!

i know that some people have reasons which stimulate them towards being like that...
 
AssalamuAlaykum

Could you rephrase that question please Akhee, I dont fully understand it...? When I'm hyper I can do the most random things...But tell me what you mean and I'll try answer Insha'Allah...

WassalamuAlaykum

P.S Maybe somebody else could tell us how they feel when they're totally happy and hyper Insha'Allah, this thread is so not gonna be about me! *grin*
