Going along with an untruth for fear of disagreeing with others is a form of self-betrayal that will make you miserable.

If you're not feeling as happy as you "should" be, stop shoulding yourself and start being real with yourself and others.

Self-love means setting boundaries, practicing self-care, questioning your negative thoughts, and becoming mindful.

To be happier alone, experts say you should try building a deeper relationship with yourself through journaling, exercising, or learning a new skill.
