When was the happiest time of your life?

For me it was probably this past spring semester of college. I joined a fraternity (where I go to school they are almost completely unlike the stereotypical fraternities that you see in movies), and met some people who have become some of the best friends I've ever had.
My life's not exactly hell, but I wouldn't say I'm ever happy with it either. SO I'm probably going for when playing Mass Effect. Yes I clearly have psychological issues to say that, and yes I'm cool with it.
I was thinking about this the other day. The last time I can remember being truly happy was when I was about eleven. Before jobs and high school. Back when there was no stress at all in my life and the days were just a blend of hanging out with friends at school and hanging out with friends at home.
For clarity I said "truly happy" because obviously everybody feels some degree of happy at times, there's no way I've gone nine years feeling miserable or I'd have done something about it. Recently I've always had a little undertone of stress or irritation or something trivial like that whenever I've been happy.

I'd like to say ^ this pretty much is what went through my mind.TiefBlau said:
However, with respect to 'my life so far', every 'happy time' I've had is followed invariably within a year by some shit that has completely fucked me over.
So, 'happiest time of my life', the day and the subsequent couple of weeks when my then girlfriend informed me she was pregnant. Depressingly, neither of us could stop crying... and I'm about to, again...
Wait 'till I'm closer to the end, boyo. Then, I'll be able to answer properly. I've had alot of good times, but I'm feeling that they're not even nearly at an end, so let's not be asking me this question so soon.
I'd say at around 6-8. Awesome times. It was a time of both innocence and friends, now any friends I have are not innocent, and neither am I. Seriously, Pokemon, Digimon, Dragonball Z, childish fun with my friends, not a care in the world. It is getting hard for me to remember that feeling, it feels like such a radically different way of thinking to the way I am now, like trying to empathise with a llama, or a magpie.ZiggyE said:
The whole year of 1999. Pokemon was at its peak, I still lived in new york, the dreamcast was released, and I was still care free. Man those were such great times
Yayy, a like-minded person!Jack the Potato said:
Nay to all those pessimists, who don't realise that being unhappy (which DEFINITELY is a choice) won't make your life any better.. Not that it's really their fault though, you just have to have the luck to be enlightened/enlighten yourself
Yay happiness!

Okay you're either someone pretending to be Justin Bieber, if so, get off this site. If you're actually Justin Bieber, get off this site.Justin_Drew_Bieber said:
OT: I can't think of one to be honest. I have that sort of personality where I'll lucidly recall bad moments but can't for the life of me ever remember a good time. I've always been pretty lonely in life, mainly because I'm rubbish at making friends. Plus I do suffer from depression and the last few years have been pretty dark (crawling out slowly now).
Some happy times I do remember are usually when I've had a girl friend I've properly clicked with. My last one was just that, she was great. But now I'm just my unhappy self.
NOT highschool, anyone who says that is fucking lying....in fact why the hell would you say that to a highschooler? seriously that would be enough to drive some to suicide
anyway I dont focus on times....or the past I choose to be happy as somone said above,

thats the thing thoughTsekatsu said:
at first thourght I could look on a certain period in my life...around 2004-2006 and think it was the best time...BUT If I were to think about how happy I REALLY was at that time..probably not much happyer than I am now, mabye even less (that said though the couple of years after that werent that great..but nessicary)
however good we may have it, we dont and pretty much cant apreciate it at the time
because It WOULD be a great time if I were able to go back and live it with the knowlege and everything I have now, But I cant and I think what people really mean when they say "its the best time of your life" is that it WOULD be if you went back now...not that it actually WAS from your perspective at the time
of that makes sense
and its best not to regret things
For me it was highshool by far. But wait! Lemme explain: I was in a french boarding school where my class was composed out of 26 girls and 4 guys, me included, 1 of which was a stereotypical flamboyant homosexual. And that's just for starters.Vault101 said:
My experiences of highschool are therefore not at all like the norm, for starters it was in the mountains in a small village, the only tv present was in the common rooms and only computers, let alone internet were both in the library. There lots of socialization going on and because we all lived together, the traditional clique division in highschool was lessed here, the geeks lived with the jocks who lived with the goths who lived with fashion afficianadoes who lived with the rappers who lived with the rich kids who lived with the poor kids(to use metaphors that most would understand).
Highschool before boarding school though... Let's just say I ended up beating up a rich kid who pushed me one too many times and got expelt for my troubles, and didn't see it as a bad thing at all. It was pure hell.
