Are you happy?

[bader0]

there is a staggering amount of unhappiness on the escapist, i wonder why that is?. As a gamer i would like to think :serious gaming=intelligence=less likely to be happy. But i dont think that is in fact the case.

OT. yes i am happy, i dont think i have ever been not happy. I dont see any reason i would ever be not happy. My mind doesnt work that way, i never see why people choose to be unhappy. If you are living in a first world country there is usually an opportunity for you to make yourself happy. Dont brood about things that are going wrong that just makes you enjoy life less. You only live once, dont be afraid to make mistakes and take risks that could potentially fuck you now and again.

I like my job. I have a nice home with everything I want in it. Great friends, an awesome dog, great parents. And a girl that I like that likes me back. I love my life

 

[dfphetteplace]

For the most part yes I am. I have a job I love, even though it takes a lot of my time, and I have a great son that is my whole world. Life isn't too bad right now.

 

[sevreon]

Yeah, but no. I act like I am to everyone around me so they dont think Im weird but Im really not that happy at all.

I have horrible retail job where customers treat us like crap and the hours are terrible and I get payed close to nothing. I have no skills or qualifications so I cant get a better job. All of my best friends have all moved away to go to uni and made their own friends and dont bother with me anymore.

The only person I have left is my boyfriend who makes me feel like total shit. Hes the reason I lost contact with the friends I did still have left because he gets jealous when other people talk to me. I cant break up with him though because I live with him and I have no where else to go, as Im too poor to afford my own place. And I cant move in with my dad, I cant even be bothered to get in to why.

Everything that I dreamed my life would be like when I was in school didnt turn out the way I thought it would be at all. I used to be so much happier when I was younger, and now Im older everything pretty much just gone to shit. I want to move and go somewhere exciting and new and start my life again, but Im too poor and wouldnt be able to get a visa anyways

I dont have any talents and Im terrible at everything, theres nothing I want to do in life because I know Ill just fail at it like Ive failed at everything else. I feel like Im just wasting time away until I get old and die.

I guess thats why I play video games so much, they're just something nice to keep my mind occupied. So I guess its not all bad, at least I have that

Sorry about the rant, I mean I have my youth and health I guess, it could be worse, I just complain alot haha

 

[Sleekgiant]

Happy? Why yes, but I tend to get really frustrated and annoyed by certain things in life. And it never has to do with me personally. Must of the time, it's political issues and things very few people care about in the first place.

Lolno, haven't truly been happy for a long time....

Perhaps because you're being dominated by your green, psychopathic boyfriend?

Nuuuu Sheen wuvs me :3

You deserve an internet high-five for knowing about Sheen and Fatigue ^^

 

[Snowy Rainbow]

When I am with her, yes.

When I am without her, I am lost.

Awww. That's so sweet <3

OT: I've meet a really cute guy and I'm currently drinking Coke and owning in Black Ops.

Life is good ^^

 

[Biodeamon]

I am always happy due to my nature. But under the perpetually happy shell i'm quite lonely.

I wish i had somebody....

 

[Amberella]

I'm not really happy with how my life is right now. My fiancé lives in the UK and I in the US. I hate it here in the US and I have to wait till he's 21 so we can get married and I move to the UK to be with him. He just turned 19, so that'll be another 2 years I have to wait. We've been together for 2 and a half years. <3

Also, my Uncle stole my Metal Gear Solid Collectors Figurine that I bought for Tom (Fiancé) and sold it for drug money. That's the life I live here in the states. I constantly have to worry about my family members stealing my belongings. Pathetic.

 

[Alon Shechter]

I feel...
All my female friends are heavy, mentally troubled smokers, so they're just pissed and annoyed 90% of the time because they didn't have a cigarette in the last 0.50 seconds.
I also have an idiot of a dad who tries to make contact with me even when I'm ignoring him for months and once hung up in his face when he called from a number I didn't know.
Sometimes I feel like the people who do not care are actually the ones who care the most, and are just so bloody afraid of showing it.
It's funny that someone who acted like she doesn't care has taught me on how to show how much I care.
care care care.
I'm abusing this word.
Yeah, I'm at a VERY good place compared to a month or two ago, but sadly that does not mean that I am happy.

 

[cheywoodward]

Yes, because the Supreme court voted against California's video game related law.

 

[Wyvulent]

Sort of? Good friends, education going well, finally figured out what i want to do with myself aswell! Having said that i do get incredibly lonely from time to time, but i assume everyone does so it doesnt bother me all that much. A good mope sorts all. So yeah, could be better, could be worse.

 

[Heroic One]

Been happier, been sadder. Pretty good though.

 

[agrajagthetesty]

Yes, I am. I'm at a university that works me very hard, but I enjoy the challenge, keeping busy and being able to learn new things all the time. I've grown apart from some of my older friends, but I'm growing closer to my new ones. My relationship with my immediate family is acceptable, my financial situation is secure for now, and my relationship with my boyfriend is going well. My life's not perfect but I have nothing to complain about, and I'm content with it as it is.

 

[EarthBoundRules]

Long answer: Yes, I just finished my last exam for the year half an hour ago.

Short answer: HELL YEAH!

 

[___________________]

Sure under those simple terms right now I am happy.

 

[ToxicOranges]

I just finished my final exam for my GCSE's.

Am I happy? Hell yeah.

 

[StBishop]

Yes. Would be happier if I was mega confident about the GAMSAT but it's not until March so it's a little bit far of to stress right now. I have 6 months to study up on that mofo.

 

[BNSNightshade]

I...
I don't know
I don't actually know...

 

[Macgyvercas]

The Supreme Court just issued California a big fat STFU and sided in favor of the gamers. There is nothing on earth that could make me UNHAPPY at this particular moment in time.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

Is Skyrim out yet?

...Let me get back to you on this one.

LOL

On topic: I'm brilliantly happy. I get to go see an old friend in two weeks, I have a wonderful girlfriend and a great family. I'm on the verge of dancing.
