Andrew Tate 'absolutely distrusts happy people'

Tate took to X (formerly Twitter) on August 18 to share how he distrusts happy people. He emphasized that "fully depressed and miserable but brutally effective and capable" people were somehow better than incompetent happy men.

"I absolutely distrust happy people. They’re one tragedy away from breakdown and incompetence. I like men who are fully depressed and miserable but brutally effective and capable," wrote Tate, beginning the post.

Tate later opined that life cannot hurt people who are depressed and miserable as they have already gone through so many hardships. "What can happen? It’s already happened? Still operating flawlessly. Life can’t hurt them," added Top G, concluding his take on the topic.

At the time of writing, the post has already amassed over a million views, 2k reposts, and 21.4k likes, alongside thousands of replies.

It’s once you achieve this brighter sense of happiness that life can’t hurt you. Im so happy that normal people can’t understand. Sorry but it’s true."

One simply said, "You’re a nerd." "Wise words from this generation's king Solomon," expressed a fan.
