๐️ Question: What are the signs indicating that some people are depressed or actually unhappy with themselves despite efforts to act cheerful?
๐ Answer: 1] They usually act like obnoxious bullies towards those individuals whom they perceive as a threat because of jealousy. It's easy for them to be unkind, treating others disrespectfully to pacify their misery. By attempting to disturb others' peace, they believe they can feel less unhappy or less inadequate.
2] A large portion of their lifetime is wasted on jealously spying on the lives of strangers who don't have anything to do with them. Oftentimes you can tell that somebody isn't contented with their life if they nosily keep count of what others have and get to do. Frequently watching pretentious vlogs which fail to inspire you to become a better Muslim, stalking the social media posts of users whom you may secretly envy, and constantly comparing yourself to materialistic individuals are from the innumerable shortcuts to emotional distress.
3] They readily indulge in gossiping. Anybody who seems okay with cowardly criticizing people behind their backs and talking badly about their intimate issues on a regular basis can't be truly at ease from within. If you were authentically satisfied with who you are, you'd focus on improving your own strengths for Allah's sake instead of consistently attempting to make others look or sound awful.
4] They generally give off negative, demotivating and distressful vibes. They appear to be scowling most of the time, they aren't very responsive to your text messages or calls and they tend to ignore your greetings. Those who are emotionally wounded oftentimes feel the need to bring others down to lift their insecure selves up.
5] If they're genuinely sad or struggling with numerous problems which they fail to manage well, they typically slack off at school or work, being absent on many occasions without a valid reason and refusing to cooperate with others in doing the right thing.

๐ Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."

๐ Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The believer is one who is trusted by the people. The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe (not guilty of backbiting, telling lies, and deliberately committing injustice). The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil. By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
