You can't MAKE anyone happy. They're either happy or they're not.

How can you expect to make anyone happy, if you aren`t comfortable and happy with yourself?
You put your selfish reasons for being uncomfortable, and unhappy aside, and try to concentrate on making them happy!

That blew my mind, man.

You can't ever expect to make anyone happy because people make themselves happy. What we do to other people is make them miserable.

You can't. It's not possible to make someone happy when you yourself aren't happy because you're focused on your unhappiness.
