Poll: Are you happy?

[Shapsters]

I suppose I am pretty happy, summer is very soon and it should be an interesting one. At the moment the only thing that makes me unhappy is the fact that I don't have a girlfriend... but I have survived 17 years without one so I can survive a while longer.

I do want a girlfriend though... >.>

I was always a bit of a stoic, and since nothing noteworthy is happening at the moment...

 

[lacktheknack]

I'm much happier than I have right to be.

 

[SovietSecrets]

I'm happy. Summer is here, sun is shining, life is good, nothing to be unhappy about .

 

[Valksy]

No. But then I was diagnosed with clinical depression some 14 or 15 years ago and life has been 90% shite ever since so that I usually wonder why I bother.

 

[CrashBang]

Totally. As always. I'm a happy person, woooo go me! I rawk!!

 

[antipunt]

Hmm...well, I've seen a lot of these threads before (and even created one like it).

And the results are very similar to 'as per usual'. Most of the time it's a standard distribution (most people in the middle, kind of like an even hill).

Interesting that this particular poll is -partially- skewed towards being more positive than not. But still, it's a pretty even distribution overall.

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.

Yeah, I saw your post as well, and was like:

wtf...

But I didn't call you out on it, because as you've made evident, I was 95% sure you were just joking and/or focused on whiny/emo teens, like Twilight fangirls. Also, I lol-ed because of your avatar. It was almost as if the cow itself was telling me to be more cheery...by example!

Not at the moment, back home after being at my boyfriends and have absolutely no money. I went for an interview last week and they said they'll be in touch if I get the job in a week, so fingers crossed.
And I'm going to see Green Day on Wednesday so that'll cheer me up.

 

[Tri Force95]

Short answer no. But you don't want to hear me complain.

Why not?
Complaining will make you feel better.

(I think)

It may make him feel beter, but it will change nothing.

I complain to people to make me feel better sometimes, but then I realize, complaining doesn't change anything, and it never will. The people I complain to will never help me, or do anything that my make me complain less, and I am seemingly imcapable of doing so as well.

OP: As of right now, no.

On the cusp of

If the cusp misbehaves and I fall the other way, I'll land in the D:

Of course other people see me as regardless if I'm or D:

There's something kind of :| about it all when you think about it.

In most cases, you're only as unhappy as you let yourself be, though. It took many years of angsty emo teenager before I got over myself and figured that out.

I turned 24 today, and that means i have lived through 24 years of pain poverty and bullshit... so that makes me happy, its a year for every hour in a day, that's gotta be a reason to celebrate eh? and that means i'm happy with my life because i've survived it. and every day you don't die from this is another day you've beaten life by not letting it kill you... so celebrate often.... and happiness is always there for you.. it's just a cold one away!

 

[ultimateownage]

Yay, I'm the minority. I'm in the D: and zone.

What's with the indifference? The ":|". What is that? Some sort of hipster way of saying "Wow I'm so cool and apathetic"? Seriously, come on. Stop being such fools and embrace life and everything in it. See a psychologist if you are unable to do so.

For gods sake... "Don't worry, be happy."

You're bitching about something you don't understand. I'm sure your life has been perfect but other people might be in crappy situations. Noone wants to be depressed but if you've been in that situation before you should know it's not as easy as saying "don't be".

OT: I used to get depressed a lot but those days have been over for a while now ;D
I think it was mostly down to loneliness but i found a lot of awesome friends when i started college.

Well, with a choice between felling sad and being in a bad situation, and feeling better in a bad situation, I know which one most people would choose.

Whyever are you pleased with that?!
Perhaps we should get some men in to take a look at your head young man!

Who said I was happy about it? I'm obviously not pleased or I would be at least a :|

 

[Quantana]

I feel ok, but I'm a little nostalgic that my high school years are over.

same here it all went so fast didn't it?

 

[tehweave]

Strangely enough, I may be dismissed from college, I'm moving out of my current house to go live back with my parents, I may lose my job come august, I've got very little money, and my house/room is a complete mess.

Yet, I still remain optimistic and happy... Frankly, I don't know why.
