this is probably the perfect question for me and one i keep asking myself but ultimately i cant seem to find an answer
im having a lot of personal revelations at the moment as to how unfullfilled and empty my life actually is and not the imagined one i seem to be build around myself, which are ultimately leading to me feeling a bit depressed
but at the same time this depression is pissing me off coz depressed people tend to annoy and the knowledge that i am turning into one of these ppl is killing me
yet somehow all the internal monologues i continue to produce keep me in a sort of odd place where im simultaneously angry and sad and this balance ultimately leaves me with a weird form of happiness
so i have to say im in a giant emotional clusterfuck which somehow leaves me satisfied that im so self aware that i can see my own mental, emotional, social shortcomings, despite the fact that i know things will never change and that they will contiue to make me unhappy
/vent
and that is officically the most i have ever said about myself, ever

Pointless thread? Care to explain why you think it is pointless?Ziadaine said:
OT: Yes, I am happy.
I am happy because I recently realized that I am a good person, I'm fast, strong, intelligent, and loved by almost everybody I know. I was also recently told that I am very good-looking.
What makes me sad is other people being sad. Cheer up all of you people, or I'll be very sad. D:
It is 4am, I am bored, watching The Guild in HD on my brand new shiny xBox 360, after finishing Modern Warfare 2, and Borderlands.
I am quite happy. Both in the short term, and the long term.

Hmn.
Well, as you said OP, it is one of those things that regularly changes, so I can only comment on right now. So, let me think.
Right now, I am a 19 year old girl who is stuck living with her parents (who she hates for reasons you don't need to know) on the opposite side of the Atlantic to her amazing boyfriend. She has no job, little money, and her only friends are online. The only people she sees regularly are her family. She has Seasonal Affect Disorder, which means she gets really depressed and stressed because she doesn't get enough sunlight. She has no ambitions, no dreams, no desires, except to be with her boyfriend.
And yet, even though you would think all of that would make her unhappy, is she? Is she sat alone in her room hating herself and wishing desperately that her life could be better?
No.
Why not, I'm sure you want to know. Because, my comrades, she has hope!
[sup]Okay, comrades wasn't the best word there, but bear with me.[/sup]
Basically, I've done the moping around "Woe is me, life is shit and won't get better" stuff for a fair few years now, and it gets boring. It really does. So instead, I now look on the bright side.
Living with my parents mean I don't HAVE to earn money, so I don't have my time taken up with a job. And although that means money is tight, it means I can do whatever I like. I have an amazing boyfriend, and I know he would do anything to be with me and take care of me. I have great friends online, who are supportive and cheer me up and ignore all the times I screw up (and yes, there have been a fair few of those).
Okay, so I know this is a bit long, but I wanted to make a point. You can't say that happiness is only when things are perfect. This is life, it will never be perfect. You just have to focus on the good things.
As the saying goes,

No.
But I am not unhappy either.
I have no strong feelings whatsoever, really.
I am neutrality incarnate.

When I'm with my friends or at clubs such as karate I'm happy, but when I'm at home I randomly get depressed for no reason. I don't even have trouble at home.
