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

[TheApathetic]

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.

Just walk your own path, everyone's character, surroundings and the environment he/she is in area are different.

Peer pressure and FOMO are definitely real, but try your best to Not give into peer pressure.

Both sides have its pros and cons, most important is which path give you more of what you want and you are happier as a result.

Both people bring their problems together, mix mix mix, then chi-cha-boomz

Exactly this, a lot of people do not realize that due to their own internal dissatisfaction and unhappiness they will cause other to to dissatisfied and unhappy to relieve their own. Simple analogy is having children, how does one expect children to be happy when oneself is already discontent with their current life?

It's 100%. Everyone has something they are insecure about. It's only how much one is capable about hiding it.
