[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 292331, member: 1550"] Heather, I'm going to take issue with "she likes being miserable." I was told that about my dad, and I don't believe it's true. I think it's more this: Nobody likes to be miserable--that's like a contradiction. I think some people like the illusion of self-pity and misery so that they can garner sympathy. THAT makes them happy. I do think my father is in that category. Being miserable is, well, MISERABLE :raspberry-tounge:. But pretending to feel like the world just done you wrong and getting all sorts of sympathy for that has a real payoff. So, while I could be wrong, I think it could be more that than actually enjoying being unhappy. [/QUOTE]
