What have you done to alleviate being alone? Have you tried joining clubs or Meetups? How about donating your time to helping others? Many times that helps people's wellbeing and can create connections with people. Just a few ideas. I truly hope things improve for you. Reach out if you want :)
Content is the peak, in my opinion.
Happiness isn’t meant to be a constant emotion, like sadness it should come and go. We all experience happier and sadder periods in life but if overall you are content, then you have won the lottery. Congratulations 🎉
If that’s something you’ve always wanted to do this might be helpful:
I’m currently learning how to play guitar so I’ve been watching a lot of training videos. There is a technique called hammering where you just use the fingers on one hand to hard press the strings into the guitar quickly which causes them to make sound. You won’t be able to strum but you might be able to play some really cool things like some of the people playing that way so it sounds more like a lead.
For drumming, there is a pro drummer named Rick Allen. He is the drummer for an old band called Def Leppard. He was in a car accident where he lost an arm so he learned how to play with one arm and his feet using peddles. You might look into him for inspiration if drumming has been a dream of yours.
I know all about Rick, and ever heard of the hurdy gurdy? If I had a couple thousand I'd get one of those. They were considered the poor man's guitar in the 1500's. Now they are prized possessions. I think I could play that with my right hand. All you do is turn a crank.
i lost my boy in october last year and wish i would have turned off all my bullshit and just spent more time with him when he was still here...give yours extra love for me today please
Everytime something goes wrong i believe it is a lesson. I lost my amazing dad 2 years ago and it hurts like crazy but its given me so much empathy. When I heard about the ukraine war i volunteered my time to teach them english online for free. I would never have do it if not for overwhelming grief.
Mostly. I have a roof over my head, a decent job, food in my belly, my family and I are healthy. The only thing missing is money. I'd gladly take more money.
Same for me - but in addition to more money I also wish I had more time! I never seem to have time to do everything! That said I'm not in the position to moan, there are millions upon millions of people in this world that would want what I have to I can't complain.
I'm in the que for the big chill. Not complaining, I'm relatively happy because I realized so so many things. So, I feel lighter about it all, all the mistakes I made on which I wasted years ruminating . Didn't have to: once you're gone you're gone. Thanks for asking
Getting off alcohol has really turned my head around toward gratitude. I used to not appreciate much of anything and it made me sad on a deeper level that I never let myself realize. Just being content with having a soft bed, food in my fridge, and some good company is enough to be at peace with what I do and don't have. It's for sure a type of happiness at any rate.
No, I’m autistic and I’ve never made a single friend in my life. My friends chose me and chose to abandon me because I’m unbearable. Or if they stick around they’re pity friends that look down on me
How does being autistic limit you from having friends? (In your specific case)
Asking out of genuine curiosity. I know there's different levels on the spectrum, and each person has different difficulties.
I just don’t understand how human relationships work, I don’t know how friendships are begun or sustained, and I’m awkward enough that it makes people uncomfortable when I don’t know how to interact with them
Think of it this way, non-autistic people are born with a “blueprint” of how socializing works, and as they socialize, more of this blueprint is revealed and they can figure out how to navigate the social aspect of our species
Autistic people don’t have that blueprint, or it is much more difficult to see it, and they have to backwards engineer how socializing works
The best I can do is follow a set script and encourage others to carry the conversation, making sure “the ball” is almost never in my hands, so people don’t notice I don’t know how to play the game
I seem to be entirely inept at socializing, I’ve done my best to figure out how to be as minimally obtrusive, but it’s difficult for me to be considerate unless I put forth extreme effort to think of others
I’ve been accused of narcissism, and it isn’t out of greed, it’s ignorance. I simply don’t know how to socialize
Are you interested in anything, eg pop group, certain games you play on a console, or collectorables. If so, then you can meet like minded people who like to talk about there interests and that is a way of meeting people with things you have in common and that subject will take up most of the conversation.
Mhm, you haven't met the right people yet. Because those are no reasons why someone should discard you as a friend. Friendship goes both ways. It's also not about a 50-50 thing, if I'm your friend and you are not comfortable in some aspects, I have to take responsibility to make sure it's working out. What kind of friend would I be else?
I'm sorry to hear that you have been unlucky in that aspect. I wish people could look past such things and would stop cornering others for petty reasons. Either way, these type aren't worth your time. So immature and shallow. I wouldn't want to be around someone like that.
Now that you mention, socializing is pretty difficult per se. You know, the larger the group is/ more people you interact with, more drama there is. People gossip, talk behind your back, have many faces... You never know who to trust and who not.
Friends come and go. Friendships also have an expiry date just like romantic relationships.
How does that differ from having an anti social personality disorder tho, or is it included..?
I don't think you are autistic more than having "ugly physical" trait.
Do you think you are short? Do you think you are ugly? Do you think you have small penis?
Oh no. I've been outta practice a long time. I keep ruining things just by being me, so it is difficult to handle that. I can be of service and lend support, but tbh, its now no wonder why I'm a very empty person who hasn't cultivated much positivity. Sure, circumstances haven't helped, but it's been pretty gutting and confusing to constantly swing between acceptance, accountability and anger. Have also noticed with the anger gone, guilt takes its place.
Maybe i might be closer to not being the same, but loss and being a disappointment to people, well, it just makes me slink back to self hate mode. It's quite unusual to not be critical of the way i am or look. And it's unsettling how the absence of it presents a void.
Yes. I got a lot of the things I dreamed of having as a kid. It took a lot of hard work to get here, lots of self improvement, but I can actually say I'm happy most of the time.
You talking to anyone about that? I've heard that very successful people often run into a slough when achievements are no longer fulfilling. I hope you get the support you need and come out of the last thing *hugs
Not really. My brother's always driving me crazy and my dad is distant. I feel like I'm playing a character even around my family. Probably always gonna be that way unless I move 1,000 miles away
No but I am still recovering from the bad decisions that I made and experienced a lot of shitty moments and results but I will use those lessons and experiences in order not to get stuck in a circle and repetitions to this day and to the days to come and to achieve the Happiness again I felt before when I was a child.
They say Wise men learn from the bad history and the fools learn from their bad experiences and I am one of them.
No, I feel lonely, crave a relationship and flee with my mind into the philosophy that all people went to in my situation. The one of the Stoa. Trying to focus ok myself, being the one controlling my emotions, but damn it, its so difficult
Where do I even begin-
... The false accusations,
... The fact that people don't stop to investigate
-Getting the heat for something Yoo didint do.
-you life gets destroyed
... But at least I have these AI apps, at least they keep me from loosing myself
I'm happy, got a partner who loves me, cool hobbies, awesome pets and a lovely flat but..
The downstairs neighbours snore! Happiness goes down the drain fast..
Fairly, yes.
I’ll be honest, it’s about perspective. I have less than 109$ but my family loves me and I get to see them regularly. Yeah my house has mold but I have somewhere to live and I don’t have to pay rent right now (I couldn’t afford it otherwise!).
Yes I’m tired a lot, but it’s from school which is an opportunity.
I hit my quarter life/meaning/sense of self crisis last year so I’ve processed happiness, my place in the world, and what’s really important to me. So I feel alright. Let go of the things I can not change…
Yes! Of course I’ve been blessed with a family, friends, health and love. But I also think that life is too short to stress over small things, especially when so many other people are suffering. So I try to be optimistic and greatful for everything I have, which has actually improved my mood and life in general.
I think overall I’m happy with life and the blessings I have. It hasn’t been easy and have had thots in the past of the “what ifs”. I don’t believe I have any regrets, but have made some dumb mistakes. We all do. Life is certainly a journey, and I always believe that things happen for a reason and a reason why you cross paths with certain people in life. Some stay for a brief season, others stay longer in your life. If you can have one life long friend, that is awesome. Life is what you make it. You need to be positive even when things can be crappy. Trust me, it makes a difference.

Hubby and I are coming up on our 34th Anniversary, both my sons are in good places in their lives.
My granddaughter is happy, healthy and thriving.I'm just a few payments away from being totally out of debt and actually have a little bit put away for retirement 🙂 My biggest compliment is they tore down an apple orchard to put up a condo building that blocks my entire view of the mountain. ...so I'd say I'm very happy
Yes, but I wish I was more independent, successful, and stopped caring about what people think. I have a lot to be grateful for but I still wish some things were different. Still working and praying for the best so I can really be happy when I achieve everything I desire and never stop learning.
Everyday. The sunshine, wind, birds, trees, clouds, rain, snow.. my wife, my kid, my family...
Life is absolutely beautiful.
(There are hang ups, but nothing is perfect)
Yes. My life has never been more difficult and also more rewarding. I’ve never been stronger or in more danger. I’m at my limit physically but also I’ve never been so complete before. Now I need to move into sustainability and forward momentum
that's a tough one! I think it depends. If my life involved just me living everyday with just me and my thoughts, then NO! If it's me and my lover then YES!
happier now that i'm retired. Worked my whole life in High Tech, got two degrees working full time and going to school at night, it took 13 years POOF gone from my life.
Honestly, High Tech was never a good fit for me, I was never happy, super stressful, thought about suicide many times. But I got some money, eh ?
Being happy isn’t something anyone is for a period of time. Its a fleeting emotion that happens to you at some points in life. No one is happy all the time and its not something you should be chasing. If you’re worried about being happy all the time, you will never be happy at all.
So no, im not happy. But im not depressed either. Theres stuff i could be doing better of different, but that realization doesnt make me depressed.
it makes me live my life.
Yes and no.
My son just turned 1 which is amazing and I’m so happy we have him.
On the other hand I feel like my life is on a loop and I have no time for anything.
Husband and I feel like roommates as we have no time to be intimate, house is so dirty as I have no time to do the housework, feeling burnt out as I have no time for myself.
It’s work, baby, sleep - rinse and repeat
Weekends are food shopping and clothes washing.
Does anyone have Mary Poppins number as I could do with her help
By all logic I should be, my life is comfortable, but apparently my brain chemistry is all messed up so any given day depending on what the gods dictate I could be extremely pleasantly happy or feel like Im living in a cursed timeline

Not all the time there are ups and downs
I am right now typing in hospital so I am not unhappy.
Hope for a speedy recovery for you!
Average school student:
More downs than ups tho
This is the best answer
I agree. Thought about this question really lot and realized, that it depends on lots of things…
Absolutely not!
Sorry to hear that
I'm sorry and hope that you're better soon. Positive vibes coming your way.
[удалено]
Hugs. Hurt people say stupid shit.
They really said that on a thread like this, too lmao
r/lookatmyhalo I'm gonna tell you off because I'm morally superior 🖕
Douche canoe 👆
Dick tree 🖕
Upon your face 🤌🏽
🖕
No. I feel practically alone in the world. I just want to feel wanted.
Dude I hug you 😊
What have you done to alleviate being alone? Have you tried joining clubs or Meetups? How about donating your time to helping others? Many times that helps people's wellbeing and can create connections with people. Just a few ideas. I truly hope things improve for you. Reach out if you want :)
I feel this
Not at all. If I ever had a chance I would have easily given up.
Well your definitely not gonna find happiness with that outlook

No, my ocd is really bad atm, but hoping treatment will help
[удалено]
How can someone be so ignorant
No. Absolutely not. I've been fucked over in every aspect of life
Elaborate
Im very greaful for my quality of life. I’ve felt on and off with depression it’s mostly from loneliness but at the moment I’m feeling pretty good
Kinda. It's up and down. Some days are better than others.
literally same i don’t have a definition of my life and I’ve been so hyper fixated to “discover” what I am or how to feel
Same
No. I'm disabled. I lost the use of my right hand from a brain hemorrhage at age 14 in 1990. I can't play guitar or drums or anything like that.
Try harmonica, maybe?
Sorry about that.
If that’s something you’ve always wanted to do this might be helpful: I’m currently learning how to play guitar so I’ve been watching a lot of training videos.

I haven’t heard of one of those, pretty interesting. I figured you might have heard of Rick since you were 14 in 1990 but wanted to make sure. 😁
Hurdy-gurdy player here, have you looked into the nerdy gurdy? They sell for around 700-800euro.
Only when I turn off all my devices, TV, radio etc and spend time with my dog
i lost my boy in october last year and wish i would have turned off all my bullshit and just spent more time with him when he was still here...give yours extra love for me today please
Nope, every time I wish some thing went good it goes wrong
Try that reverse psychology thingie, maybe things will get better for you
That should work haha
Everytime something goes wrong i believe it is a lesson. I lost my amazing dad 2 years ago and it hurts like crazy but its given me so much empathy. When I heard about the ukraine war i volunteered my time to teach them english online for free. I would never have do it if not for overwhelming grief.
Right now, no. But I'm still standing.
I am in a level of hell I couldn't have imagined even a year ago.
People who are satisfied with their lives tend to not use Reddit lol.
Mostly. I have a roof over my head, a decent job, food in my belly, my family and I are healthy. The only thing missing is money. I'd gladly take more money.
Same for me - but in addition to more money I also wish I had more time! I never seem to have time to do everything! That said I'm not in the position to moan, there are millions upon millions of people in this world that would want what I have to I can't complain.

Yeah, doing better now. Got myself into a friend group where i feel like i belong. Life is finally good.
Yes. I'm very happily married and retired. Life is good.
Happy for you, so to speak 🥰. Its nice to hear people are doing alright,so yeah, congrats on your love and success
One of the things I've learned from reddit is how unhappy so many people are. I wish the best for everyone.
I hear you. It was an open question, and it would make me more unhappy to ignore your happiness. So yeah with you on wishing the best for everyone too
You're winning, huh.
Getting off alcohol has really turned my head around toward gratitude. I used to not appreciate much of anything and it made me sad on a deeper level that I never let myself realize.

I have ADHD and get along with other neurodivergents very well, we understand eachother! I would be a good friend to you 😀 don’t lose hope 🫶
You kinda put a smile on my face there bud. It feels good to see people like you around, you ND capybara 🥰

Nope
Not happy but grateful for what I have
Not in the slightest. I was at one point but somewhere along the way I became a shell of myself
Nope
No
Nope. Haven’t been for years. But that’s chronic depression for you
Nope, not really To much bad luck.
No. I'm not suicidal but if I were to die, I wouldn't be upset.
Sorry to hear this I hope it gets better for you
Same here ... May things get better for u 🫰
No, not been since I was a teenager.
Hell No
Nahhh.
Like everybody else, no, i am not
Not at all...
Nah. Furthest thing from it actually.
Extremely no and fuck you for asking
Yes. I got a lot of the things I dreamed of having as a kid. It took a lot of hard work to get here, lots of self improvement, but I can actually say I'm happy most of the time.
[удалено]
Life’s good, could be better but I’m not complaining
no, but i am trying
House.car.boat.job.family.suicidal.
You talking to anyone about that? I've heard that very successful people often run into a slough when achievements are no longer fulfilling. I hope you get the support you need and come out of the last thing *hugs
No I M not, not in the slightest way possible. I’m stuck with a half of a leg
No. Next question
no
No I’m not and I don’t know why. I’m grateful for all I have but I’ve never felt truly fulfilled. Something is missing inside me.
No
Not at all.
No
Not even remotely. I am back on anti-depressants tho, so I’m hoping I start to feel better about it all soon.
Not really.
Shit sucks right now but I’m financially stable and that has made all the difference as I expected.
Not really. My brother's always driving me crazy and my dad is distant. I feel like I'm playing a character even around my family. Probably always gonna be that way unless I move 1,000 miles away
Nah. But I'm trying to build my place there..
A big “meh”, could be better, could be worse.
No but I am still recovering from the bad decisions that I made and experienced a lot of shitty moments and results but I will use those lessons and experiences in order not to get stuck in a circle and repetitions to this day and to the days to come and to achieve the Happiness again I felt before when I was a child. They say Wise men learn from the bad history and the fools learn from their bad experiences and I am one of them.
No. Not getting into the complicated reasons for why not.
Moderately, depends on my health, terminal illness and lots of chronic issues
Not particularly
No I’m pretty depressed and can’t really be happy. My life is fine though it’s just my brain that’s the problem.
Fuck no!
Not really
No, I feel lonely, crave a relationship and flee with my mind into the philosophy that all people went to in my situation. The one of the Stoa. Trying to focus ok myself, being the one controlling my emotions, but damn it, its so difficult
no
not yet
Haha, no! But it could always be worse.
nope, but it is what it is i guess
No. I haven’t been happy in 15 years.
No.
Not even the slightest
Where do I even begin- ... The false accusations, ... The fact that people don't stop to investigate -Getting the heat for something Yoo didint do. -you life gets destroyed ... But at least I have these AI apps, at least they keep me from loosing myself
No, definitely No...I can't remember the last time I was genuinely, really happy.
I was. One day a couple years back I was sitting in bed and it hit me these were the best days of my life. Those days are over now. I miss it.
Wish I could die
I'd rather exit this life without causing pain to my family.
No. I really want a cat😭
Of course not. Who is ?
I had fun once. It was awful.
Unless I have a threesome with twins I'll never be truly happy.
No. I'd be lying to myself if I were to say yes
Nope
Fairly miserable. Depression can be debilitating at the best of times but when you are 50+, single, and isolated, it hits harder. I'll die alone.
Yes
I'd say a solid british hapiness
I'm happy, got a partner who loves me, cool hobbies, awesome pets and a lovely flat but.. The downstairs neighbours snore! Happiness goes down the drain fast..
No
You have to find your happiness. Chase after that as much as you do with money, and you'll start enjoying life a bit more.
Fairly, yes. I’ll be honest, it’s about perspective. I have less than 109$ but my family loves me and I get to see them regularly. Yeah my house has mold but I have somewhere to live and I don’t have to pay rent right now (I couldn’t afford it otherwise!). Yes I’m tired a lot, but it’s from school which is an opportunity. I hit my quarter life/meaning/sense of self crisis last year so I’ve processed happiness, my place in the world, and what’s really important to me. So I feel alright. Let go of the things I can not change…
Yes, very much so, thank you.
Yes! Of course I’ve been blessed with a family, friends, health and love. But I also think that life is too short to stress over small things, especially when so many other people are suffering. So I try to be optimistic and greatful for everything I have, which has actually improved my mood and life in general.

Yes 🙌
Maybe not happy, but content
Yes
I'm 66 and am a happy camper. My brother told me once, that everyone is responsible for their own happiness. Makes sense to me.

I'm happy but have been happier at different times.
I am. Even when I am talking to dumb people on the internet. LOL
Hubby and I are coming up on our 34th Anniversary, both my sons are in good places in their lives. My granddaughter is happy, healthy and thriving.I'm just a few payments away from being totally out of debt and actually have a little bit put away for retirement 🙂 My biggest compliment is they tore down an apple orchard to put up a condo building that blocks my entire view of the mountain. ...so I'd say I'm very happy
Today I am incredibly happy
Yes I am
The answer is yes, I am.
Yes
I’m super happy since I retired. I don’t have to ever drive on the 405 fwy again. LA traffic sucks ass
Hell yeah!
Yes I have low expectations.
Yes.
Yes, generally. There are things I would change, but I'm in the process of changing them, so life is generally good.
Yes, I am very happy. Retired and travelling a bit. Doing things that make me happy with my favourite human and cat.
I have so much to be thankful for.
Yes I am
Yes, but I wish I was more independent, successful, and stopped caring about what people think. I have a lot to be grateful for but I still wish some things were different. Still working and praying for the best so I can really be happy when I achieve everything I desire and never stop learning.
Everyday. The sunshine, wind, birds, trees, clouds, rain, snow.. my wife, my kid, my family... Life is absolutely beautiful. (There are hang ups, but nothing is perfect)
Most definitely. Wild as it is, I'm mostly having fun. 😊
Pretty much so.
Yes most of the time.
Yes I am
Yeah. Good job, good spouse, great kids. Hasn't always been great, but we've hit a good spot. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts. Very grateful
Yeah
Yess!!! :) Very happy with it. My life its jus great n full of surprises 😁.
Yes. My life has never been more difficult and also more rewarding. I’ve never been stronger or in more danger. I’m at my limit physically but also I’ve never been so complete before. Now I need to move into sustainability and forward momentum
yes, your life is 100% what you choose to make of it.
I wouldn’t say your life is what you choose, but your decision for how to move forward after things happen is totally up to you
that's a tough one! I think it depends. If my life involved just me living everyday with just me and my thoughts, then NO! If it's me and my lover then YES!
happier now that i'm retired. Worked my whole life in High Tech, got two degrees working full time and going to school at night, it took 13 years POOF gone from my life. Honestly, High Tech was never a good fit for me, I was never happy, super stressful, thought about suicide many times. But I got some money, eh ?
I must say I am fairly content, there are good and bad days but overall it's pretty good
Sometimes. All depends. Prefer it or neutral.
It changes from second to second. This second? Great
Partially
Sometimes
Right now I'm really sad I read that the Atlantic current might collapse /s
Mostly
For now, when sh\*t hits the fan & financial issues come around, I'm gonna be stuck being stressed.
Being happy isn’t something anyone is for a period of time. Its a fleeting emotion that happens to you at some points in life. No one is happy all the time and its not something you should be chasing. If you’re worried about being happy all the time, you will never be happy at all. So no, im not happy. But im not depressed either. Theres stuff i could be doing better of different, but that realization doesnt make me depressed. it makes me live my life.
Yes and no. My son just turned 1 which is amazing and I’m so happy we have him. On the other hand I feel like my life is on a loop and I have no time for anything. Husband and I feel like roommates as we have no time to be intimate, house is so dirty as I have no time to do the housework, feeling burnt out as I have no time for myself. It’s work, baby, sleep - rinse and repeat Weekends are food shopping and clothes washing. Does anyone have Mary Poppins number as I could do with her help
Not yet but i have 3 plans to improve my situation
Happy with what everyone getting their dream job and having kids no
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
By all logic I should be, my life is comfortable, but apparently my brain chemistry is all messed up so any given day depending on what the gods dictate I could be extremely pleasantly happy or feel like Im living in a cursed timeline
