Everytime I am in a party or there is people dancing to music I feel alone. I can’t dance or be happy or do a real/genuine smile. They all seem too happy and enjoying the party or life except me, instead I feel alone, sad and want to cry. I never experienced positive emotions even before sz.

In nightclubs girls told me I bring a negative vibe and that I need to smile and be happy but how??
I never experienced emotions or true love/happiness in my life. Before sz I thought I had autism but then read about sz negative symptoms and they fit me better. Is there medications to bring back emotions?
I think happiness looks different for us i find happiness in food , sleeping, vaping , family , videogames/tv , etc

If I practice gaining happiness from emptiness, and not by external factors, One could feel happiness, for eternity.
When you are happy you will also attract people around you.
I feel you @Aziz sz breaks even the best in you no matter doing the same things what first chance people do,
You been wondering what is this first chance people, I quote them as the people with normal routine, what the rest of the world does.
Second chance people are the ones who have different experience than the rest, and change their perspective and visions on who they want to become.

Happiness doesn’t exist for me. Baseline is neutral flat (the ceiling)and it goes down. Never above. Kind of breaks rules of highs and lows.

Neurotypical experience a spectrum of feelings. Maybe some having schizophrenia may not experience flat blunt. Long periods. Maybe eternity.

Honestly man, I picture you as having a small thundercloud perpetually over your head that tries to shoot lighting at others. You are EXTREMELY negative. You’ve just got to fake it until you make it. It’s a technique that really works. Get out of the habit of saying negative things and develop a new habit of being positive.

I’m a pretty good vibe at nightclubs, but I go to one of the best techno clubs in the world so… I’m generally just there to have a good time, but i actually enjoy dance music so take that as you will. Try to smile and feel the music, that’s all I can say. If you don’t like the music and you’re faking it, people can tell. You should do things you love so that you don’t have to fake it. If you don’t like dance music, don’t mess with dance clubs. Be yourself, that way people like you for you.

Sometimes I laugh and smile. Sometimes I don’t. I feel often tired but rarely depressed.
You should keep track of the things that ease your burden. People, situations, foods, walks, vacations?

I’m sorry if this upsets you but I want to ask a question. You say you never really were happy, that sounds like me. I know that this stemmed from early childhood sexual abuse. Did you have a trauma early in life that could have colored your world?
For me, the PTSD symptoms got worse and worse until they came to a critical mass and I had to process that trauma instead of bottling it up, or eating it away, or drugging and drinking it away. If you have a trauma you haven’t processed it will stand in your way of happiness and joy, it’s what they’ve stolen from you.
