I feel like a lot of people end up forgetting or maybe never realized, that happiness and "joy" to some degree are a choice. Obviously outside influence matters, you are not gonna easily choose to be happy a day after losing a loved one. But many people end up in this "hunt" for happiness in which they convince themself that Happiness is caused entirely by the world outside of you, then they find themself in a position where there is nothing that would actively prevent them from being happy, but they can not do it, because they forgot how to be happy. Our mood is not just influenced by the outside world, but just as much by our self's, at a certain point, you just have to choose to be happy. No matter where you are, a party, among friends, or family, you can still make yourself miserable. Many people grow so used to their own down trot and negative emotions, that it becomes harder and harder for them to let go of this negativity. If you were unhappy for such a long time, feeling happy suddenly feels not like yourself, and thus even if something makes them happy for a while they go back to their negativity, because that is what they know, that is how they feel comfortable because they got so used to feeling that way. The only way to get out of this, is to constantly remind yourself, that your happiness is also a choice. You can choose to be happy.

Uh oh here we go with this story arc. I didn't like Wanda, and Bojack is right you have this idea of who someone is then you get to know them and it low key ruins your perception of them.

Suzy Cyde, my old friend. And the Rose colored glasses line was great. I hope these episodes are at least therapeutic for you because they do seem to hit you hard.

That is at the very least a dangerous oversimplification. While it is certainly correct that many people overstate the importance of external factors for happiness, getting out of a depression is actually really hard and in many cases requires professional help over a long time. If you think “just choose happiness” does the trick, you’ve been quite fortunate.
