Try Happiness ... but
Positive emotions such as awe, love, compassion, trust -- make us more vulnerable than negative ones. Fear and sadness have immediate payoffs—protecting us from attack or attracting resources at times of distress. Gratitude and joy, over time, will yield better health and deeper connections—but in the short term actually put us at risk. That’s because, while negative emotions tend to be insulating, positive emotions expose us to the common elements of rejection and heartbreak.
Accepting a random act of kindness from a stranger -- it is embarrassing, we don't feel we deserve it, we don't understand how to receive it.
