What's the meaning of the proberb, 'Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate'?
348421
When people feel bad and down, they don't like perky people who are happy.  They want to be with someone else who is also in their downer mood.  Problem is most folks don't want to be in a downer mood, which is why the company doesn't reciprocate.

Well this is totally different than what we discussed a few days ago......lol  The "Carry off" portion changes the whole perspective. When you say it this way....I realize you are talking about "masking" feelings with happiness......or promoting the feeling of unhappiness for the sake of your audience. \n\nYes, I'm a master at smiling and making the world think I'm happy. (even when things are crumbling around me) Rarely do people know the blows that life lands on me because I won't allow the efffects to show in my demeanor. It's not that it is work.....it's not that it is hard to do.....it's just how it is. I never want people to feel sorry for me or to feel that they must take on my burdens, so I tackle things on my own in my own time and don't show the negative side. \n\nThus why I said earlier that maintaining a "negative" disposition would be harder work for me. It would mean that I would actually have to bring my issue to the forefront of my mind and think about it. It's such a natural response for me to just "table" it until I'm alone. When someone that knows me well sits me down and says, "Ok, spill it....something is eating at you." Well it takes all the strength and effort in the world to make myself actually "unload." I seriously just have a very very hard time burdening anyone else with the things floating around in my head. So hands down.............it's easier to maintain a positive disposition than a negative one. \n\n*now all of you think I need therapy right? lol....you just might be right!! lol*

The speaker is lamenting having done something or considering something that will rob him/her of the joys of old age. These joys include honor, love, obedience, multitudes of friends. Instead, he/she will receive silent curses from people for a long time, honor spoken falsely from others, and another day of living, which many people would be pleased to have in itself. At the same time, people feeling so depressed, such as the speaker, might be happy and simultaneously unhappy for living another day.

exactly what you think it means... lack of interest or indifference.  If she is usually nice, then maybe she's having a bad day.

I'm going to assume that you meant to ask 'threat' rather than 'thread': Man's inhumanity to his/her 'fellow' man.  The opposite of love is not hate; it is indifference.  There is no greater harm we can do to each other as a society that to be uncaring.  Deep at the core of our current 'problems' is our mistrust and unloving treatment of the 'others' that we perceive to be 'our' problem.

Manipulating IS managing.\n\nAnd complaining, although irritating, is the default status for most employees. \n\nYou know the company is dying when the employees are all hushed up in the corner like frightened little bunny rabbits.

Lincoln is describing a way to defeat your enemies.  By 'making friends' or attempting at being nice or civil with your enemies that will make them even more angry and defeat the purpose of them being mean to you. It's kind of like having a little brother. He will tease you to make you mad and respond to him. But if you act nicely back, or ignore him, then he has no point to keep bugging you if you won't ever react in the way he wants you to. The same thing can be said for Lincoln's quote.

I'm not entirely sure of the context of this qoute, but I would guess that it is telling a race of poeople who have been historically oppressed by others that they should work together and try to overthrow their oppressors/ achieve a certain goal because they can do anything when together and they are not inferior, even though they might have been told so by their oppressors.

Hey! If this person works nights at a Pizza Hut, and sees his colleagues all night long, there is no reason to make him/her spend more time with them.  He/she needs their rest and if they're anything like me, they don't want to hang out with a bunch of minimum wage losers so they can be reminded of how miserably they failed themselves and their families.  Fellowship you say? Misery does not always love company.  If you really   care for this person, you'd help them find a real job.

Well, "being suffered" means being endured, and the "which, being suffered" would imply that the last part of the sentence refers to the first part of the sentence. SO, I think this saying has to do with the idea that once you break the trust in a relationship (even after "trodding out" the fire with an apology or what have you), it has been broken, and NOTHING can mend it. It's similiar to the the saying that a sheet of canvas is near impossible to rip by even the two strongest hands. However, if you take a pair of scissors and just snip it ever so lightly (breaching the trust if you will), the rest will pull apart with the greatest of ease. So over time, that little fire (although trodden out in the past) will grow to be an inferno.

This is the first time I've ever heard the quote so the best I can do is to tell you what I think it means.  \n\nI think it means that you can't make people love you.  (You can't dominate them or force them to love you).  All you can do is give them the choice (the freedom) to love.  The word "child" seems to mean "outcome" in this case.

I think the saying means that people would much rather be with happy people than unhappy people.  Still, there is such a thing as sympathy, thank God!  When my best friend, roommate, ex-husband, lover of over 20 years committed suicide this past December, I found I did not have to cry alone.  My friends rallied around me, and I will always be grateful.

I think it means...\n\nWhen you belong to a certain social group, it is as if you were in a fishbowl -- on display -- so, trying to get away from that group is difficult.  Here, the displacer is the person from whom you wish to turn your back.\n\nThe second part of the sentence means that if both you and the person from whom you wish to turn away are similar, it is going to be even more difficult, because you are friends of some sort, with much in common.\n\nI hope I'm right!

Becca may know better, but I figured it like this.\n\nPicture a bunch of male construction workers and an attractive woman walking by.  The workers whistle at the woman, but the woman pays them no mind. Ergo, she AIN'T NO hollaback girl.  Perhaps you can infer the meaning from my scenario?\n\nI am wrong.  Thank you very much.\n\nP.S. so Becca, what are you doing tonight?

It is becuse people are miserable and misery loves company. When people hurt they want others to hurt. That is why Hitler did what he did.\n\nFor more detail on this and what you can do about it to help yourself, see below site with latest psychology research on this. It is a new religion.
