Poll: Are you happy?

[Hagi]

Happy.
I don't see the point in sitting around being miserable.
Fuck it, most of the time I'm happy out of spite.
Circumstances want me to be miserable cause of the shit life is throwing at me? Well fuck life, I'm going to be happy.

You don't really sound happy... You kinda sound sadder than the people outright stating they're unhappy...

OT: Content I guess. I really have no strong feelings on way or the other and I'm cool with that. C'est la vie, life goes as it goes.

I think perhaps you misunderstand my tone.
It doesn't communicate across well in text, but I'm very happy.

I'm pretty sure you're right yeah The joys of communication through the interwebz.

I just can't stop picturing a person continually stating they're very happy whilst tears run across their cheeks for some reason.

But no worries, at least your reply was an interesting one no matter how you interpret it.

Now, if you don't mind, I'll be going to misinterpret some other post somewhere.

 

[DazZ.]

Not at all at the moment.

Hopefully I'll be feeling ok again soon, just the way shit goes.

 

[Pinkamena]

Hmm...
I feel OK. Not completely content at the moment, but my future is looking good. Getting good grades at uni, planned masters degree, actually working with something I find interesting, etc.
But at the moment, I am kind of bored. I do not like the summer vacation, it is too long. I want the semester to start earlier so I can get more time to read.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Um... define "happy." I don't know if I'd describe myself as particularly "happy," no.

 

[Imthatguy]

Ennui is the correct term for myself I believe. I just find it so hard to give a damn.

 

[SpectacularWebHead]

Umm, pain?
I have really severe back pain right now, I'm not really any mood but pain.

Most of the time I'm not happy.

 

[Nostalgia]

Angry at myself. Depressed due to everything going on. I haven't been happy in months minus three or so days in the timeframe that show me, due to the situation, that nothing will make me happy because it's the only thing that does and it's an unobtainable fantasy.
I guess you can say that I have lost the will to live or don't find purpose in living, so I can barely appreciate the things I do have; like my health, for example.

It's all a mess. I can only blame myself really.
I'm about to throw myself into school and spend money on tuition and nonsense just to distract myself. I'm not sure what I want to do but I'm just picking at random and going along with it because I have nothing to lose at this point.

I'm sick of being miserable, helpless, and crying all the time but nothing helps and it feels like I only get worse and worse. My only option now is to numb out and be okay with mediocrity. To accept things being shallow and empty.

I was never good at pretending to be happy when having genuine happiness is seriously the number one most important thing to me. I can't deal with this fake bullshit.

 

[EeveeElectro]

On the surface I might seem to be. I smile and laugh a lot and try make others feel good.
But I'm missing so much in my life right now. There's a huge hole in my life which I know what I need to fill but probably can't for a while and that makes me so incredibly miserable. Just feel like I'm coping and going through the motions right now.

 

[JasonBurnout16]

Content. I know what I'm doing, I know where I'm heading with my life and I know if I keep working hard I have a future.

To be truely happy? To have a good part time job while at University. You can never be happy while job searching - it's like a black hole of worry.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

I'm content leaning towards sad. Mainly it's because I now live over 2,000 miles from my family and I have a shitty apartment right now.
I'm trying my best however to get things together. Find a second job, get a better place, go back to college, get a real job.
That is what my heart and mind tells me is the right thing for me to do to achieve what I want so I can be happy again.
The road is long, but I shall continue and strive on.
To survive. Is that not what it means to be human?

 

[Alssadar]

Pretty good right now, despite the boring monotonous days of summer, that I'm trying to mend with daily purposes.
I also just got some great ideas to change my Warhammer 40k fannon chapter, so I'm happy about that.

My only negative right now is that I have some form of splinter in my right palm, and my computer has a virus that randomly opens advertisements.

 

[dimensional]

rarely happy or content but not particularly unhappy 2 years ago I was miserably unhappy for 3 years due to a real crappy job then I resigned and I had a year of doing something I wanted to do for a long time which was pretty tough but ultimately rewarding. I dont think I will ever be content though there are so many things I want to do and work keeps getting in the way goddamn I hate having a job I love working for myself (or rather bettering myself through self study and exercise etc) or doing something I see as worthwhile (for free) but I hate wasting my time at a job whatever it is but then again there is always things to look forward to so I dont get depressed just angry usually, lifes shit but im going to have fun with it as best as I can.

 

[dfphetteplace]

I'm happy as a person. I love my job, I have a great family. Things could always be better, but I think that goes for everyone. There are things I don't have time to do either, or can't afford to do, but that is hardly any reason to not be happy. I think having a job I love is the main reason I am so happy with my life, since I come home and feel satisfied and not stressed out because I'm miserable, which translates to a good home life.

 

[Dominus Nox]

Reasonably unhappy. Took a massive paycut to move back from the middle of nowhere and am now working such unsociable hours that when I start work, anyone I know is still at their 9-5 work and when I finish it's about 1am. So I spend 6 nights a week out of face to face contact with anyone bar the people I work with.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

I have nothing serious to complain about, but sitting here all day every day is rather... dull
Guess i could complain about being a sober alcoholic
Or being practically entirely dependent on my old-ish not particularly fit mother to support me
... damn schoool

 

[DugMachine]

I go through phases. Bouts of depression, slow months of content and days of happiness. I'm just here... it's the only way I describe it.

 

[KefkaCultist]

Nah, pretty damn depressed actually. Things suck :/

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

I suffer from depression and it only gets worse thinking about how broke I am, with no income, and nowhere to live once my uncle inevitably kicks me out. The only thing that keeps me sane is burying myself in games which gets tiring since I can't afford anything I don't already have. It also doesn't help that I only eat twice a day and more often than not I end up eating 2 eggs and 2 pieces of bread. I apply online for a job endlessly but never get so much as an interview and each passing week my mental state seems to just worse and my body just becomes exhausted from it all.

I fed up with this world!

 

[The Funslinger]

I've had a very discontenting day today. Then again, having difficulty finding a girl I connect with, then spending a day with a bunch of friends, two of whom have been together for a year tends to have that weigh on me more than usual.

I'm happy for them, but they do rub it in my face every now and then.
