'Why' are you happy/content/sad

[antipunt]

This isn't a thread on 'if' you are happy/meh/depressed. We've seen quite a lot of those. And in case anyone was interested, the responses usually fall into a standard distribution (upsidedown-U-curve ; bellcurve). Most people in the center, a good proportion scattered on either side, and a few 'outliers' that either feel euphoric or downright miserable.

Nope, this thread is actually about -why- you are happy/meh/depressed/whatever/etc. I'm legitimately curious as to what your reasons are, and I think it might be enlightening for some to see the motivation for the other side of the fence.

Thanks Escapist. Doesn't have to be a specific reason, but can be.

Why am I happy right now? Three real reasons.

1) School is basically over.
2) Being sad doesn't benefit me or anyone else.
3) Being happy makes others happy.

[Snarky Username]

Well at the moment I'm not feeling much of anything and I usually don't. I guess the closest thing I can say is nostalgic because I just listened to this video.

 

[Beltom]

I'm incredibly happy because my exams are almost over and then I get over two months off of freedom.

Ah, that brings back memories, great music in that game.

 

[Angry Caterpillar]

I'm joyous, I just got out of school today, I'm going to go see the A Team, and I'm trying to decide what game I should do a Let's Play of. Life is good!
Also it's called a bell curve. I know I'm being picky but if I actually get the chance to use some of the useless shit I picked up in school it's going to happen.

I'm happy right now because:
1. I'm on a 3 month trip to China
2. I'm working as an intern with IBM, in China, which is both awesome and practical
3. I'm the single most awesome person in the history of life. How can I not be happy?

 

[Legion IV]

Am Happy because i use to always be sad about how everyone says all people are equal. it frustrated me to no end knowing how a killer is just as equal to me. Until i said F it. Am better then some people screw this equality crap. So am very happy its very liberating.

 

[Kajt]

I'm happy because...
1. School's over.
2. I'm listening to Sweet Home Albama.
3. I'm playing WoW in the background.

 

[rosemystica]

I'm super-happy because:

-I have a job now!

-I'm moving back out to my adoptive hometown, my favorite place in the world!

-I spend most of my afternoons playing with kittens!

-I'm healthy!

-I'm alive!

-The weather's super-nice!

So I'm in a happy mood.

 

[Smiles]

I am happy and content because i am in a wonderful relationship, and i am happy because i am on vacation from work... so awesome

 

[Jonluw]

I'm happy because I'm reading manga, watching anime, and having a pretty good life all over.

I'm sad because my head is full of bullshit that I don't even necessarily understand myself, and it is not a very pleasant place to be a lot of the time.

 

[ThreeWords]

I'm happy:

Schools out for the summer
There's parties in the planning
I'm pumped full of endorphins having just half swum myself to death

 

[Tharwen]

I'm feeling extremely depressed because:

I have 4 exams in 4 days' time.
I haven't started revising for them yet and every time I do I get distracted and do something else.
I feel socially inadequate and can't imagine having any prospect of success at any point in the future.

The only happy thought I have at the moment is that I'm probably feeling a lot worse than is appropriate for my situation and it will all get sorted out at some point.

 

[googleit6]

I am -almost- happy because school is -almost- over. Then I'm going to have the best summer ever with my soccer and my PS3. I can't wait.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I am sad because my store is closing and I'm being laid off

I am happy because Final Fantasy IX is finally out on PSN [and I have escaped the ice cavern and made it to Deli!]

I am ecstatic because of the Nintendo 3DS

I am worried that I may not find a new job in time to be one of the first people to get my hands on a 3DS

I am a bit worried that I may be wasting my life...then I forget about that xD

 

[Enemy Of The State]

I'm frustrated because I need to go and do revision and my friend's parents are determined to keep her from seeing me because I'm a boy and she's a girl therefore we can't see each other because we might elope.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

I'm semi happy because college is almost finished.
I'm slightly depressed because that means I have to find a full time job.
But then I'm happy because I realise life is good anyway and I have no reason to complain. ^^

 

[Cowabungaa]

Right now I'm pretty pumped as I:
1: Just played the NFS: Shift demo on the PS3.
2: Just played the NFS: Shift demo on the PS3.
3: Just played the NFS: Shift demo on the PS3.

Yeah that's about it. Damn that game gets your adrenaline going, might get the full game too.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Sad:
1) Bored

3) Stuck inside on a nice day
4) Is sweaty and uncomfortable due to number 3
5) Finally i got rejected by the girl i like.
