Simple really, do they?
Personally i think they are suspect and untrustworthy. For the most part i try avoid them.
What do you think about people who are always happy.
I mean people who are happy/chirpy all the time to the point of weirdness

Why join the navy when you can be a pirate
Happiness is a state of mind- if you have a problem with people who's happy, then it says more about you than it does them.
Overly chirpy and constantly positive people wierd me out. It always feels wrong, like they're deranged and never react like a normal person would, in other words; feeling more emotions than one.
So I agree with you, they are suspect and untrustworthy. They're hiding or suppressing something.
Try to smile for an entire day. I promise youll notice why its worth it!

Thats when I found out
that I REALLY was a Nab
It makes me wonder, are you usually angry/depressed/apathetic/etc except for when you're doing something shady? If you're only happy when you're up to no good, that'd explain why you think that of other people.
The Onion, as always, provides....
Kind of... mostly people who are social butterflies annoy me, but not always. They aren't the same in private anyway.

I would rather be around someone who is annoyingly happy than someone who is annoyingly pissy.
Only when you know its fake. I grew up mormon, and I'd see it every sunday.
I hate people who are annoyed by the happiness and fortune of others. Seriously... what kind of arrogance do you have that you think you have anything to say about the happiness of other people?
As people have said, try to smile and enjoy life. You'll see life change for the better. I love to stay positive. And who cares if its fake? If a person is fake nice, but still does it for the right reasons, who gives a fuck?
I also can't stand people who get annoyed by other people having fun and laughing, when not being part of the joke.
For example: if 3 co-workers are laughing at a random joke while the 4th walks in and is annoyed he missed the moment and now hates all other co-workers.
You people need to smile more!
This. People who are always sad are just depressing. I understand having ups and downs, everyone does, but if your mood is bringing my mood down... Go home, why are you even here? You know?
Like... If you are sad, why would you go out and inflict that on others? Bunch of moaning minnies.
I'm one of those "happy all the time" types I guess? At least moreso than the opposite, and it's really just about framing things positively. I think you can frame anything positively and like that's always going to keep your mood up no matter what happens. Unless someone comes along and starts being overly depressed.
I don't mind people having emotions and stuff but like... If you're depressed, you can either frame it as like "this is just my mood at the moment" or "i'm sad because of such-and-such problem that I can't fix" - if it's jsut your mood, stay at home. If it's a problem you can't fix, and people give you solutions for it, and you just sit there and come up with reasons why something cannot be done, then I can't be bothered with you at all.
Here's my take on the whole thing....
Look at the famous actors, such as Robin Williams, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey.
No one can deny they aren't some of the funniest people to watch on-screen. Yet if you were to read about their personal lives, you'd know they're nothing like their on-screen personalities. Jim and Steve are intensely private, Robin had a history of bouts with his own inner demons. Who knows what truly lurks in their minds, in their most private chamber of their hearts?
Yet, there is this: Misery stands alone. People would rather flock to you if you're happy than if you're miserable. So for some people, being happy is a front: a desire to be surrounded by people so they wouldn't be alone. Maybe this is why it feels fake for you, because of their motives, but I'm pretty sure it's nothing against you.
As for people who despises people who's happy, I feel more sorry for them than for the people who's faking happiness. As I mentioned, it speaks more about them, because they're not happy themselves, so they despise seeing happiness in others; they would rather pull others down to their level than try to arise themselves from whatever pit they're in.
Happiness is just that: a state of mind. You can be faced with situations like anyone else. It's how you respond to it that speaks of your character. One person may see one thing and react positively to it, and another person may react negatively to the same situation.
I have been with people where everything goes right for them, yet they still complain. For them, a victory is another form of defeat. And i have been with people where nothing seems to go right, yet they still smile and joke around- for them, problems are just another step to new doors.
At the end of the day, I would rather flock to the positive person, be with like-minded people than with the miserable masses.
Day9 talked about this kind of stuff a bit:
It's quite long, but worth watching if you are interested in being a generally happier person, but like... Really everything is just a bunch of situations and how you feel is gonna depend on how you react to them, which you can decide. It's not really "fake" since like, it's genuinely how you feel. It's not like... pretending to be happy when you are not, it's just forcing yourself to actually be happy.
