Poll: Are you happy?

[Yureina]

Been in the zone lately. When I graduate this coming Friday, i'll probably move into the zone though!

 

[Akai Shizuku]

No, I'm not, OP. My on-and-off girlfriend of four years left me again. My bipolar disorder isn't helping. I suck at school, and while I should be graduating this year I'm probably going to be there for another year or two because no matter how hard I try, I just can't do it. I'm tired of life.

 

[PatrickXD]

I'm O.K I suppose. Broke up with my girlfriend is neutral, previous exams went okay but still just neutral, only have one more to go I guess that's a high. Doing revision is a bit shit... Everything sort of balances out at :|

I am fairly happy, i'm sat at home on my day off, browsing the internet for training gear that i know i will get my moneys worth out of but begrudging paying much for. I know that in the end i'll spit my dummy out n just buy the pads that i like regardless of their price but i'd like to think im more resilient than that so im holding out to prove to myself that im still stubborn. Awesome. Just got a letter saying my student finance has been approved as has my university place, which is nice.

I then always feel down because of my uni degree - It's BSc Games Design, and there's not one day where I don't think how stupid it is, but I just have to hold on and hope getting a first in it might actually get me somewhere.

A friend of mine did this, he is by far the happiest person i know. He thoroughly love his job, he goes to work, he comes home, he continues working on either his main project or some random idea he's had, he plays games, gets mroe ideas goes and does more design. If you feel this way it could be because you are not suited to the course, hell i love coding but could i sit day in and out doing it? hell no, which is why im not.

Ah well, it can only get better from there, don't worry about it too much. Think happy thoughts, and you'll be happier!

Yeah, I suppose I am. Life is going pretty well, a few minor hiccups, but all in all, things are pleasant.

I like to live my life in the way that will ensure the most happiness.

Not like you Burty, usually at least on the first page aren't you?

 

[TraumaHound]

Nope. And I don't foresee that changing anytime soon without a short trip off a very high bridge.

 

[Ickorus]

Sure, only complaint at the moment is a bad toothache.

 

[Evilbunny]

Thank you, my friend. You've brought me happiness like I've never experienced before. It is when I am with you that I can see all that is good in the world, and that I can appreciate all the beauty around me.

for the moment: yes, when my grades come in: i doubt it. I passed weights with flying colors, however, my data structures class i probably got a D. my calc class i failed, and my 3d class my teacher lost 2 of my assignments (i resent them in so he better grade them) if he grades them ill pass if not ill fail.

 

[s0denone]

Hey. As I said earlier, I'll make it through.

[sub]I will suuuuurrrrrvvvviiiiiiivvvee!
And I agree with your opinions on whiny teenagers.[/sub]

I'm glad, mate

Oh my rod, people... Lighten the fuck up.

I don't know what has happened to you, but I sincerely doubt it to be anything actually worthy of saying "I'm depressed" or "No, I'm not happy at all".

Way to come across as a condescending dick. If you asked me this question a year ago I would have responded with "Fuck no", or "I have Clinical Depression". You sincerely doubt that people can't be happy with their current life? What kind of sheltered world do you live in? And how can I get in?

OT: I'm actually fantastically happy with my life right now. All I need is a pretty girl and I'd give myself a solid 10/10.

I'll just quote myself here:

It's basically a "I could get through it, so why can't you?"-post. I realise people are different, and I can respect that. My post wasn't as much directed at people with actual problems, though, more at the angsty-teenager without any real problems, acting as if their life is shit.

My post may have come across condescending - That was entirely on purpose, considering it was aimed at angsty, whining, teenage kids. I have suffered from depression as well, and the post was not directed at anyone in such a condition; perhaps that wasn't clear.

I find the emo-teens to be mocking people like you and me, who have had real issues. That is why I took a stab at them.

 

[Bellvedere]

Normally I'm quite happy. It doesn't take much to entertain me. Right now however I am in exam period at uni. Not a fun time. Not only do I have exams (which stresses me out something crazy) but most of my friends are uni students too and they also have exams. We do different subjects thus even if I'm not busy chances are they will be. It's been boring as hell studying alone and not doing anything particularly exciting for the past week or so.

Also it's really fucking cold where I am.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

My mood swings like a freakin' pendulum during a hurricane, but I would say I'm content with my situation at this moment. In 20 minutes or so, I might be grinning like a fool and be genuinely happy, or really depressed, who knows?

One thing I know for a fact is that whenever it rains, I am always happy. I can sit and just listen to the rain fall for hours and be smiling, completely worryless... darnit, now I wish it would rain...

 

[Hawgh]

Not really happy, "satisfied" is probably an apt description; There are things I wish improved, but improving them is only a question of effort, so happiness is available in any quantity I desire.

 

[crudus]

Hell no. Not that I am going to start complaining.

Complaining will make you feel better.

Deal. I have no job, quickly losing money, I am about to lose my apartment, the job I was counting on and was hired for was actually in a hiring freeze when they hired me, and I feel myself growing apart from my friends as I need to move away from this city to a bigger one so I can find a job and continue eating. Nope, really just seems more daunting.

 

[Sebenko]

Yes! Just a little longer and my plan will be complete.
