This is Great!

Are you feeling good? Of course you are! After all, you're getting a new post from the great MiracleGhost! Narcissistic small talk aside, let's get to business. (Ignore this paragraph)

If you were in a bad mood (or are), what would it take to cheer you up?

 

[Sun]

There's only one person who's able to cheer me up with ease.

 

[Corrin]

Well I'm in a persistent good mood because I'm watching Haikyuu and it's probably the most uplifting thing ever.
But when I'm down, I just post around or chat with friends, that always helps.

 

[NinjaRaichu]

I'm in a good mood because its Friday.

if i'm in a bad mood Idk what cheers me up I usually just sit there annoyed util I forget i'm angry.

Music cheers me up, also talking to the right people does too.

 

[TY]

Music would cheer me up, playing some video games could cheer me up, there's basically quite a list of things that can cheer me up but there is no guarantee that it works 24/7. Some have a bigger chance than others so to say.

 

[Arsenic]

I guess I'm OK today. Don't have to work.

To the second question it depends specifically how I am.

If I just feel bad I tend to just sit and partake in my normal hobbies. If I'm very upset I just listen to angry music until I feel too numb to be upset. If I feel depressed from my.. well... Depression.. I tend to go somewhere alone and lay.

Music and hanging out with people i like is all it takes for me :D
But im in a good mood cause school was canceled due to the weather ^^

 

[Electricbluewolf]

My dog, and cleaning.

When I'm in a angry/horrid mood though I have a "smash" shelf, it has ugly figurines on it and I smash them so I don't end up breaking something I want to keep. I have a horrid temper, ha

 

[Sylphiel]

Music, a bit of time, crying it out...in no particular order...and it's less "cheering up" and more "just letting it pass", in most cases.

Sometimes talking to someone helps, but if it's like the awful mood I had the other night, I'm not even sure how much that does help, really.

Cheering me up when I am in a bad mood is something that is ridiculously difficult. Nobody can really do it, because I am an intensely focused person who absolutely loathes being forcibly distracted from my actual feelings from others. So if somebody else tries to cheer me up, they'll likely piss me off.

Like the poster before me, I don't want to call it "cheering up." It really is just letting it pass/go away. I distract myself by watching videos (maybe an ASMR video or too - those are quite relaxing if I'm in the right mood) until the anger or sadness slowly slips away and then I just feel nothing. Because I can't just go from bad mood to feeling good just like that. If I'm particularly upset, it helps to write in my journal as well. Get it all out.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

It's really just music.

Music is the first thing that I turn to to cheer me up too. If music doesn't get the job done I will play some Pokemon, watch Netflix, talk to people on skype. Sometimes it takes all of those things to brighten the mood. It just depends how down I am I guess.

 

[天 (Caine)]

When I'm not feeling that great, I try to surround myself with positive things. I listen to uplifting music, I play video games with a fun and positive atmosphere, and I watch almost anything that's a comedy. After all, laughter is one of the best medicines for feeling blue.

 

[AlphaTangoFoxtrot]

When I'm feeling down, I have my outlets like anyone. :c I either engulf myself in my writing, or my recording, or my drawings...or some times booze.

 

[GatAttack]

Music is the go to, but there are some people I talk to that generally give me an emotional boost.

 

[polymorphism]

Just got back from Buffalo Wild Wings (with friends) so I'm in a pretty good mood.

I am honestly absolutely terrible with negative feelings. I typically don't tell anyone when I'm feeling bad and just bottle it up. Nothing really helps me feel better besides just talking it out but I hate people listening to me talk about my issues so I hardly ever do it.

 

[Mab]

It's all music. Really really ridiculously cheerful music.
I've always found that talking to friends or playing video games when in a bad mood will often actually worsen my mood, or at least make the experience impossible to enjoy.

 

[Kikaito plush]

When I feel down I go to youtube and watch this:click here and eat some Chocolate.

 

[maccrash]

music and driving / walking for a long time are really the only two things that are actually therapeutic to me when I'm in a bad mood. a good movie might help, too, but it won't make me feel better, per se -- it'll just give me better perspective on what's actually bothering me, ideally. somethin' like that.
