Contrary to popular belief, 2x people means 2x the joy is not true.

[Encouragesome1]

I can imagine this too often because I alws do that and my bros n mom kept laughing cos they hear my hyena laughter noises. Then they said pls don’t tell us the joke, we only hear “once upon the time there… hahahahaahahahah and he.. hahahahahahahah we didn’t hear anyth else “

Compared to others I feel sg ppl more frank and confident to share our insecurities even as first two meet with random strangers or new friends. Maybe cos I m also someone frank and candid

i disagree that 2x the people is 2x the joy. if you can't be happy on your own then your happiness comes from "leeching" from others , how can it be 2x when it wasn't even 2 * x in the first place.

The idea that "2x people = 2x joy" assumes that everyone brings their own joy to the table. But if someone can’t find contentment alone, then their so-called “joy” might be dependent—borrowed, not owned. In that case, adding another person doesn’t double the joy. it might only expose the emptiness that was already there.

I think the saying 'two people, double the joy' works best when both people already have their own sense of happiness to share. When you're genuinely content with yourself, then being with others adds to that joy rather than creating it from scratch. It's like having your own light and then combining it with someone else's - you get a brighter glow. But if you have no light of your own, you're just borrowing theirs.

let me share a song for you to understand.

Really? You feel this way? I see most sinkies really good at hiding their insecurities (not in a good way) but showed it indirectly; via their defensive response, or anger. When I was living overseas, I find caucasians more open to speak directly about their insecurities rather than projecting it like most asians do. Maybe you also have something you won't speak about openly with anyone (no matter how close). I'm sure I do.

Only a fair exchange between the 2 then got 2x the fun
If both struggling, how to have fun?

Maybe I have most bff Asians na

I m sure I do, not cos of insecurity but cos I don’t want them to go blabber n give ppl wrong ideas abt sthg and later make my life troublesome to explain. Eg when I’m sick if I hv flu med and I know it’s flu or covid I just self isolate. If I tell others abt my condition they kept forcing me to see doc ask me 10-20 x a day how am I doing “not fine but I don’t want to reply cos I’m busy”

or I hv bad skin if I tell them they tell me 99 useless solutions and ask me 89 useless questions to “care” about me but I do try to simply simple help them uds 1-3 lines without overwhelming them with info or scare them

Our parents like to say this when they want to force us to matchmake or hope their kid can marry someone else and be mainstream

QFT. There are also the lonely ones saying things like, 'what’s the point of xxx if you can’t share it with someone?' Makes you wonder if their joy was ever theirs to begin with.

 

[A Better Tomorrow]

In the gist of it, if either party is not having a mutual benefit relationship, in one way or another, it ish a double whammy on the person who carry the entire burden within the relationship which will break down eventually.

Hmm some ppl is v lonely in their heart. They must need someone to be there even if they don’t enjoy their presence… they there means this person will happy. Eg my pa don’t like to Tk care of children , never took care of any kid… his greatest child rearing task was carrying me around when my mom was too occupied with the other two bros
and he made one bottle of milk for me while other bros were sick n crying their lungs out. But !! He thinks must have a hall full of noisy kids then will be happy cos that’s what being happy means for his pa. So he projected such visuals to himself.

In my mind I’m thinking if I give you one kid or two take care two hours he will die and complain and scold me 991010 for sure. Don’t think about a hall filled with kids or teens.
