I want you all to know that I'm feeling very depressed...

After 300 hundred years guess what part of my body wasn't replaced? Remember those malfunctioning diodes on my left leg?

 

[Jamous]

Not going to answer yes or no, but generally things are at the very least bearable. But, aside from those points, life's generally good. ^^

 

[Jamous]

Well, I was happy until I watched that video.
Now I feel a bit scared.

Well, spent all of yesterday with a gorgeous girl, got 2 or 3 more dates lined up, and worked my ass off all day today while dealing with stupid customers.

So yes, yes I am happy.

 

[painfull2006]

lol hell no

 

[Jejbe]

Yeah, I'm happy.

 

[hannahdonno]

I'm nearly always happy. Until I think about what I'm missing in my life for too long. Then it'll take me a couple of hours to get back up to happy.

Yer but are you as happy as this?

Spoiler

I THINK NOT. FACE IT. YOUR WORTHLESS. YOUR MISSING OUT ON TOO MUCH IN LIFE.

 

[lwm3398]

Thank you.. thank you so much. That was f'ing hilarious!

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

That'd be a "No" written in 50 foot high flaming letters.

 

[Trivun]

I'm very happy, although you wouldn't think so from the stuff I write about... That said, I'm very angry that my internet hasn't worked since Wednesday and I've been forced to use PCs on campus...

 

[Triple G]

No, not really. Sometimes I get the illusion of beeing happy, but almost only when I'm drunk, and that is a rare thing.

 

[MercenaryCanary]

Alright, I'll bite. No. Not really, no

Nope, no bait this time.

This time?
What the hell is that suppose to mean?

And yes, I am very happy. I can never figure out why others are sad. Just do what I do. Stop watching T.V. (Haven't turned the damn thing on to do anything but play video games since September of 2008), listen to a lot of old music, add the StumbleUpon add-on, lower your standards, have a lover, and practice your marksmanship by trying to hit an egg with an airsoft rifle. Guns make everything better.

 

[wewontdie11]

Erm, not really I suppose. Life isn't bad but it isn't great either. Just like with most other things I'm overcome with a sense of apathy.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

I'm happy. Now, I'm just happy due to the fact that I've got nothing to be sad about. So I guess I'm just meh.

 

[TehJammers]

Hey there, new guy here.

Just popping in to say that yes, I'm happy.

Had some crazy 3 day relationship last weekend, intense joy for a whole day but then she wanted to be friends and I got epic despair for no good reason, after that I decided to write everything good that happened to me every day.
Life has been good!
I've suddenly gained confidence, meeting new people, spontaneously going out to meet friends, the works.
I sat with a friend on a cold night, armed with nothing but booze and cigars, and talked for hours about Big Issues with life, religion, and everything.
I went to see the Living End who were fucking excellent.
I found out that a girl that I sort of knew from work is actually one of the coolest people i've ever met.
I've got a sweet job in a bar, a bunch of really good friends, and nothing I can think of which is directly wrong with my life.

So yes, I'm happy for the first time in a good while.

It's especially good because for the past half year or so I've been just in between the whole time. Not sad, not happy, just drifting. A kind of permanent apathy that only dissipated when I was around friends.

I'm sure there's a lot of you who know what I'm talking about, that feeling of being melancholy and bored.
If you're like me, get out there and do something.

Someone asks you if you want to do something and you can't be bothered? Pah! Do it anyway. Nobody else is doing anything either? Fuck it, go round someone's house. Bring your laptop. Play games there.

Sit with somebody and actually talk to them. Watch a movie. Break out the damn board games. Do something, anything, that gets you speaking to the people you know irl.

It makes you happier than you'd think.

I'm happy as long as I'm left alone.

Not very healthy, maybe I'm shielding myself from society?

I guess that means I'm not actually all that happy.

Heya, I'm not alone!

nah, not really happy... most of my friends go to different schools now, people in my new school kinda suck, can't be bothered with education anymore, and i'm doubting whether i'll be able to achieve my dreams

Well, the voice in my head wants me to slap you really hard, but I guess that would be completly wrong of me. Let me explain

You're completly entitled to be as unhappy as you are. Your life sounds like it sucks, but the one thing that really nags me about what you've written is the doubt of you achieving your dreams. I'm groin to presume that this dream is one that is achievable, as long as you put enough effort into it.

If that's correct, then you should be happy that you have a achievable dream.

In my case, the dreams I have is completly unattainable. Not because of me being incompetent, or my possibillities are too limited. No, the laws of nature itself defies my wish.

Not so long ago part of me gave up on dreaming, but my ohter half kept hoping. This pushed my mind into a state of confusion, where my thoughts were all clouded and foggy. It took me a bit of time to recover and clear my head again. By then, my thoughts were split into two voices.
One fueled by my dreams and hopes, of what I really wanted.
Another was driven by society's expectations of me.

I came to a realisation: "Well, if I can't reach my dreams in THIS life, I might as well do something else." I then adapted the motto: "Life's an adventure, right?"

And then, I made a decision:
"Screw society and it's rules, as long as I don't hurt anyone, I can live the way I want to"

And now, I feel free whenever I'm alone. But part of me still feels miserable about this. Damn society.

And as long as the battle of my two internal voices persists, I'm "not happy".
