Why was Eeyore so sad in Winnie the Pooh? What did he need that could have made him happier?
-
Those are questions nobody but AA Milne could answer. We can guess and hypothesize, but he's not a real creature. He never had a real life or any real experiences. He is whatever Milne, and eventually Disney, wanted him to be.
Fair, thank you
-
It sure as hell wasn't his circumstances.
Constant pain from not only an amputated tail but a nail stuck into the base of his spine?
He's a stuffed animal; he never complained about it hurting, but he did complain about losing it often.

Does he ever show improvement or is there anything that seems to weirdly help him?
I don't recall that he does; but I also haven't watched Winnie the Pooh since I was a little kid.

Well, my brother recommended it to me because it reminded him of me.
I had barely even heard of Taoism up until that point, but as I read it, I understood what he meant. My personality aligns with the principles of the Tao (which translates to the Path or the Way).
It's an easy going philosophy; Following YOUR path to wherever it takes you is fulfilling your purpose and will bring you joy in life. Striving for money, relationships, power, or anything else that may not be on your path, only leads to frustration and disappointment.
Using the Pooh characters we are already familiar with, makes it much more understandable.
The beauty of the uncut stone.

Arrogance?

Arrogance?
Tigger. And, to a degree, Owl.

Also, being the one whose tail was "pinned on" must have given him some sense of distrust. Was his tail severed only to be temporarily attached with sharp object as a game to amuse children?
Some existential stuff right there.

He seemed to be enjoying himself that time when he got bounced into a stream and had to float around on his back for a bit.

Owl is who came to mind for me while Tigger represented ADHD

What happens when you want to say no but cant (how often would you say that happens, if ever)?
uh, i feel uncomfortable? isn't that how everyone feels when socially pressured to say yes?
doesn't happen to me that often these days because my friendships have naturally gravitated towards people who don't pressure me into stuff (except when like, i clearly need to be dragged out of the house for a mental health walk or something)
rn i feel like some combo of test subject and celebrity interviewee. i hope this questioning isn't somehow engineered to get my banking info lol

Nah, u good. Glad to hear you've cultivated the network around you in that way. It seems rather uncommon but we have that in common ourselves

Better version than the one where they all on different drugs. Owl was the drug dealer.
