No, loneliness is setting in, but recently I've found more things to be more funny.

Before i start i just want to state this isnt a ' what is happiness thread' . So no philosophical 'happiness is ...' or ' does happiness exist? ' answers please.

Anyways , at this moment are you happy with the way your life is ? Are you happy with how things are going? If not what do you think you would need to be happier ? Be it your financial situation , love life, education , job , etc...
Well, my life started out a bit rocky, but now I feel like I'm on a path that I got to choose myself, and that my goals coincide with what I enjoy.

So yes, yes I am.

I am really happy at the moment. I just started going out with a lovely girl and my mid-year exams are over!

Yes, yes I am thank you very much. School, friends, family, all good on this front.
Your avatar made that post unnecessarily creepy.

OT: I'm alright. Could be better, but things are going okay. Stuff which is wrong (graduating shcool and leaving some friends behind) is beyond my control, so there's nothing to do about it but make the best of things. A bunch of my friends are determined to stay in touch, so I hope things will turn out alright.

I'm.. not happy but not sad either. I'm apathetic? I'm bumping my head on the ceiling in my current career. My future career (hopefully) is currently on hold due to things beyond my control. My love-life is non-existent and I'm actively trying to remedy that. But through it all things are actually better now than they used to be for me.

I guess I'd be "happy" if any of those things changed for the better?

Thanks for asking. Sorry for venting a little.

No, I am not happy with my life. Sure, anyone who knows me would think otherwise, but that's just a guise. I prefer to handle things myself. Now mind you what I say next is probably a little selfish, or crap examples but hey-- we are talking about how we view our lives, right?

I may start ranting here, but oh well. I am not happy with society and the way the world plays out, or how the world really pans out to be after you get past the 'smoke and mirrors'. Sure, we all know the worlds not perfect, and some pretty bad shit goes on. But in the end, it's worse than that. I also am not happy with the way my life has gone. I have great parents, but I find myself thinking, "If only they had done better," referring to how neither of them could handle college, and I get that for some people it's just hard to deal with that. The economy is shit, too. Due to economic issues, my entrepreneur grandfather who has some pretty shit luck is losing his business, house, etc. My dad who worked for him then had to downgrade jobs to one with almost half the pay, plus the new company he works for is horrible. Gotta love those giant companies that can't get anything done right because they have no ability to control such a large widespread operation. I guess I am a little different when I view such a thing as lost opportunity for things like family memories; opportunities and the like. Schools have gone to shit too. Kids these days, even the ones my age are thugs and plain out horrible people. No idea how they could think they have a chance at being able to do anything when they can't even handle themselves. Besides, school systems are already not getting enough money; blame it on what you will. I am also very unhappy with myself and how I have shaped out so far in life, though I have not gotten far in comparison to others. I'm unhappy with my tendencies. I always tend to uncover something to dig me in deeper, and I always leave the experience feeling worse than before, knowing I managed to screw up even more. I am unhappy with love. I want to find the perfect girl, but it doesn't feel to me that I'll be able to find her anywhere around me. Though I should rephrase that. Everyone knows what I mean by the one. I can only explain it as the one who really makes me want to live and feel. Someone that lights up my loneliness and makes everything good again. Then again, many people believe that that is a bunch of shit so cut your losses and deal with it, right? :p

I can say I have a few joys in my life; not everything is as bleak as I might've painted it.

Sorry for the long post, but I figured this is the kind of stuff you wanted when you posted your question about life.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo-- OK, sorry, had to do it...

So no, not very happy. I don't like moaning about it though as I don't feel it helps and other people are worse off. My former therapists have all basically said, "Yes, but you matter too!" What can I say? I have a really low self-image. And self-esteem. And self-confidence.

I'm poor, I can't hold down a job, depressed, tired all the damn time, et cetera, et cetera, moan moan, sob sob. /violin

Oh and I'm currently avoiding the two friends I have in this town because they tend to want to talk about their own depressions, rotten lives, intimate details of said life that I really didn't need/want to know about; it tends to make me feel more depressed.

Ugh, now I AM more depressed. Meh.

Yeah I'm happy. Finally got a job, my gf is staying with me for a couple of months over the summer and I'm finally getting back into a good physical shape. Come on endorphins, PAR-TAY!

No, not particularly. But I'm neiter sad or depressed either. I just sort of... am.

I feel like I'm just going through the motions daily: get up, get to work I don't particularly enjoy, go home with no-one waiting for me there, play a games I play just 'cause I have nothing else to do, go to sleep early because I'm exhausted all the time and do it all over again. I feel like I'm in a grind, but I don't really mind.

Yea- I would say that.
Finally let out a secret that I'd been keeping from a friend for over a year that had really been racking me with guilt. Had an argument/fight about it, but ended on a much lighter note than I expected. Know that it would not really hamper our friendship for very long. Getting things off the chest, not living with lies... it's a great feeling. I wouldn't say I was unhappy before, but this has and I'm certain will make me a lot happier in the future.

Well I'm a hell of a lot happier than I was this time last year. Social life is good, I got a job, things with my boyfriend are still really great and I'm out of high school :D. The only thing bothering me is I'm not currently studying but hopefully that's all fixed up by next year if I get my way.

Not really... But things could be much worse, so I can't complain (must not complain).
Though it feels rather sad when it's summer and I don't have anyone to hang out with and have nothing to do.

Mum says things will get better when I start high school, but I have my doubts.
I'm forced to go to a school about 100km away everyday, I have to go up at 6:00 am and come home at 6:00 pm. And then if I'm lucky I will have 1 hour or two for things I like to do (If I don't have homework)


But again. It could be worse.

Ehh.... off and on.

I was recently ostracized from a group of friends because one of them has a crush on my Ex, who I so happen to hate. They chose her over me, so I said fuck em' and started hanging out with a few closer friends.

Every once in a while I'm pretty damn skippy, but I keep randomly feeling down random moments and I don't know why. My brother who just got back from the war after two years of not seeing him just came home for a visit, and I feel like I'm being a complete shit. I've got the smiles and laugh, but nothing is really there emotionally.

I might actually be depressed.

Actually....Yes.

While at the grocery store a few nights ago, I realized a few things:

1) That I love going to the store at 11:30 at night.

2) I'm oddly happy with my current situation.

I'm a 24 year old, single male working two retail jobs 7 days a week. After my rent and other bills, I never have enough money left over to buy things I want instead of need.

The feeling of coming home alone every night, eating dinner, and going to bed to be up for work the next morning had me starting to feel a tad depressed. Then, one night, as I was walking through the grocery store, singing loudly to my iPod and watching all the people stare at me as I gleefully chucked food into my basket, I had the sudden realization that I was happy.

I don't need a ton of money. I pay my bills and I eat. I'm fine.
I don't need a relationship. I've been single for 5 years, and it's about time I embrace it. Apartment unbearably hot? Underwear+AC=comfortable. I'm not tied to anyone, I depend on no one, and no one depends on me. Do I miss the closeness of another person? Sure. But I don't need it.

I can't really explain what made me realize that I'm happy. It's like something just switched on.

I'm happy. I love life. I love living, and I'm alive.
I've got great friends, great parents, and I'm making new friends at work.
I have a clean home, good, plentiful food, and plenty of things to keep me entertained.
What more could I ask for?
That was... extremely motivating.

I feel like I can stop procrastinating and finally get to my work out. Thank you for that.

No. Not at all. My aspergers fucks with most of my life, just the need to be alone very often and I'm too bloody emotional! Can't even watch the news because most of it gives me the shits. Also, I seriously lack confidence and motivation. All my psychiatrists said that was probably caused by depression which was caused by family issues. And many other things that's too personal.

I try to be positive but it's always difficult, especially when I have to force myself to do everything I should be doing.

Usually art makes me happy but most of it today is pretty poor. My Little Pony though, is alright. Only a couple of episodes I really liked.

Yes, actually. Quite.

A wonderful husband (who is also my best friend), a roof over my head, a bed & covers at night, comfortable & durable clothes, food in the fridge/pantry, clean (enough =]p) water, money in the bank, and all the little things that make me happy; books & video games & and my drawings.

My husband has also been carefully reconstructing my self-esteem and feelings of self-worth for the last four years (especially after what my Mother did to it), and I am actually starting to love myself. *sappy music starts* I may love my family, but if they are unhappy with the way I live my life, regardless of how happy it makes me - then that's their problem. I will live my life the way I want, the way that makes ME happiest, with what I've learned and come to know - and they'll just have to deal with it.
