Alright so fear of happiness is apparently a more common thing than I realized. I'm going to have to make a list of the negative aspects I associate with happiness and break the association one by one.
There's a lot of conditioning here that I'm following. Instead of believing the fear is strong and untouchable I have to see what keeps it in place.
Off the top of my head I know as a kid I didn't allow myself to be happy unless my parents were happy. I felt a lot of guilt that I could enjoy life while they were stressed about work or money.
I think that overall, yeah. I haven't allowed happiness in and I've assumed that it's a fear of not being able to be happy.
