Why is it that some people are more comfortable being in misery. I speak for myself when I say this too, whenever something good happens to me I don’t like it at all and get back to being depressed. It’s not like I don’t think I deserve it, it just doesn’t feel right. The thought of being miserable sounds better than having a good life.

whoah
For me it stemed from an originally well intentioned way of prepping for the worst and avoiding potentially emotionally harmful risks. If you adapt to living a subpar life then you've basically won since bad is now neutral + imagine how good it'll feel if your circumstances magically turn great!! ...its a terrible mentality to be stuck in and I don't even remember how I got out of it, tiny things that go wrong would ruin the rest of the week for me and I'd be doing the same old shit, socializing with ppl I hate and just not being happy. Maybe leaving school and jus being an adult [kinda] with more agency helped me wiggle out of that funk but I have basically 0 advice on how to somehow beat it, sorgy :(
Oh don’t worry I didn’t post this with the intention of getting advice just pure curiosity. Maybe moving out might do the same to me who knows but I’m glad you were able to get out of this mentality ><
