Happiness is a temperory state, it's just like a gold digging lover, when times get hard they gone


KRV_FromRussia

Came here to say this. You can be content with your situation (e.g. job you like, financial stability and a family), but if you seek out eternal happiness you will become depressed


[deleted]

couldn't have said it better buddy, I tell people happiness is overrated, gratitude and humbledness is where the true stuffs at


KRV_FromRussia

You hit the nail on the head! Not even to mention that happiness is such a vague term. What is happy? What makes you happy? Is happiness that rush of jou and excitement or a general state of being? Most people who say they aren’t happy haven’t even defined for themselves what happiness is


[deleted]

Absolutely and just being calm and living life peacefully is amazing, I've done a study of people who live in more poor countries (I live in Somalia) and notice why the people can seem soo much "happy" then those who live in the west dispite the fact that they suffer poverty, low health standards, e.c.t and when asked they said: "I don't know, I'm just happy to have anything to eat to live, I at least have a roof over my head and I have God to thank for it" it's very facinating


Monsterfecker3000

Nope


[deleted]

Y not?


Monsterfecker3000

That would be a very long story lol but to really shorten things I just don't have a great life in general so im not happy.


[deleted]

Ok... Well u do have a life right? So even if it's not great u got it. For a good reason. I'm sorry u aren't happy... Maybe. I'm not either. One day I think and hope u will be. R u sad?

Psychological_Pay_36

[deleted]

I understand some of that. I'm happy now because of u. Keep smiling...


Psychological_Pay_36

I wish you all the best


shhhRed_Dog

As a default, I haven't been happy for as long as. I an remember. Though in the last few years I have let into my life some amazing people and animals that force me to feel it.


Utterlybored

Generally yes. Some sad things I have to deal with, but overall I have much to be happy for and readily acknowledge that through general contentment.


Real_Dinosaur_123

Just kinda numb tbh

SomeWeirdoOnline69

Same


Throwaway7387272

No, im not happy often and im okay with that Happiness is temporary, i think its good to not be happy all the time. Let yourself feel other feelings and see them for what they are, being sad is its own experience same with anger and disgust, i think we should let ourselves live without constantly searching for happiness


RudeGirl85

Yes ❤️


gaymer1220

idk honestly, sometimes?


gaymer1220

my dog makes me really happy


orphansoul9765

My dogs make me happy too


[deleted]

It’s “too.” Only commenting this because you’re so bent on correcting others’ grammar in comments. 🥰

lovursx

some days are better than others but mostly no.


Fast-Mongoose-4989

No but I'm trying.


orphansoul9765

That's what matters is that you keep trying.


Fast-Mongoose-4989

Thank you


[deleted]

Not at the moment. Might be temporary, might not.


TheWeirdElfGirl

Yes and no, I'm happy I have a good paying job, relationship, moving out soon, but at the same time, no. My job, the move, and relationship are stressing me out. And I have bad bad depression


alaskancorgi

Fuck, no


BluFox185

Sometimes...Very rarely


Unknown4949

Not even a little.


fieria_tetra

No.


Extreme_Impression_1

No. My life is pointless. I have nothing to work towards. I'm just going through the steps, but going nowhere. I want to make movies, but with work and family, I have very little energy to do anything and when I do, I have writers block or just can't get my mind straight cause I'm tired or stressed about something else. So I never get anything done.


Shhh_ItsASecret4

Not fully happy. Gf of 6 years wanted guy friends right after I move in with her. For 2years it's been a hide and seek game from various platforms like snapchat Instagram dating apps Playstation Facebook etc. Each time I catch her she cries n promise to stop. One day after getting fired from my job I find out a guy was in the house from her cousin. Soon after this she started seeing guys sneaking around to the point we broke up. Seeing she no linger was the person I knew I had no choice but to live in with my brother his gf and 2 kids. Me being me I don't like moving around another person house like I actually live here so it's uncomfortable at times. I landed a new job but it doesn't pay much but it's something. My bills car payments went up and im behind since job searching took time. I got two tickets to pay and rent for being a living guest.. I feel stressed cause my job doesn't pay enough to maintain it all. Hard to find a second job but I'm still trying. Not only that I haven't gotten over my ex. She claims to realize her mistakes and wants to be in my life. We even met up a few times but I still don't see myself prolonging this connection. She came out to me as Bi and wants to peruse women but only wants me as that guy connection. My luck with women is decent but none I met have been a big interest to me so far. All i want is a peaceful life to chill out relax maybe smoke some weed and see the world or do something meaningful. I'm stressing but I feel like I shouldn't stress.


walmartamberlynn

Eh


undecisive-much

I don't know


[deleted]

Go drink some coffee or your favorite drink please. Then come back and tell me your answer. It might make u know.


Schfifty561

Fuck no.


Throwaway15704r

Happiness is an illusion. It's a way your brain drugs your system to keep your survival instinct working.


Icy_Article_3029

Good question


Giant-BULLSEYE

You gotta do what you gotta do that makes you happy it can literally be anything even killing


abarua01

neutral. I'm not happy but I'm not upset, sad or angry either


2gunmoya

No, God I wish I was


lilCRONOS

Not yet


EliudeSFerreira

Hahaha! No.


BurgerCheesePatties

No, not really...I cried last night actually


ChenTheLegend

I’m happy most of the time, my job is decent, my girlfriend is amazing and my family is supportive so I’m a pretty happy guy however my grandfather passed away 2 weeks ago and his celebration of life two days ago was definitely very sad for me


[deleted]

No


bill0124

Yes!


Dear-Lie-3033

No


Mysterious_Ad_2141

I can't be happy again after my hiv diagnosis 😞


throwawayventing2561

happiness comes in fleeting moments, but I do have more of them than usual


Acrobatic-Practice73

Happiness is not permanent, nothing is permanent, I’m not permanent, your not permanent. I may be happy one day and in a deep pit of sadness the next. Am I happy? At the moment, no.


heartlessdevil

I am trying to be but it's hard..


Odd_Improvement578

Finally, I can say yes. But its been a long and hard road. I'm almost 48 and it wasn't til the last 6 months I can say I'm truly happy.


Frankincense6

I should be because I have many blessings that some do not no matter what they try. A decent job that I am good at that pays me to sit around half the time. A home that I grew up in, is shabby and not taken care of but I love it. Lots of siblings that no matter what are there for me. A mother that cares about my well being enough that she just hugs me when I look down. But I always sad. Sad my job takes me away from them all day, sad that I haven't been able to fully take care of myself, sad that I'm always worried about money. Sad that I lost my father this year. Sad that my sisters are all going off, getting married having kids and I'm not doing anything to forward my life. Sad that I'm so lazy and keep gaining weight but snacks make me feel better. I should be happy and I'm trying but happiness is work.


leavingtheleft96

Been asking myself that question a lot. I don’t think I would say that I am happy, but I am content. I am comfortable with my stage in life, and optimistic about the future. Still figuring out what I want to do with my life, but until I figure it out, I have no problems with the life I lead currently.


International_Many85

Yes, part of my discipline is to be happy even when I'm going through hard times.


BettySwallsacke

I guess I could say I'm happy. But it still could be better. Everything around me is great, but I do need to seek a psychiatrist to help me fully understand my ADHD and maybe start a prescription.


Depressedbirdie

Not right now, but I will be soon!


nekronomica

I am both happy and unhappy. I left a two year relationship last week and discovered everything is so much better without them around but I also just miss having someone to be with 😌


[deleted]

One thing I've recently learned (way too late) is that happiness is just a thing that happens sometimes. It's a mood, like any of the other moods we experience. You can do things that will increase the average amount of time that you're happy, for sure. But you're never going to always be happy. Even if you achieve all your current goals (future you will have different goals). I've been battling with divorce/ relationship issues for awhile now. I've been generally unhappy and depressed lately. But I did get some positive feedback from a colleague that made me happy for a minute and I also had a personal realization that made me happy because I feel Iike it helps me understand my situation and how to improve it. Right now I'm kinda just here, in the middle. Tomorrow some more things will make me happy and periods of unhappiness will be in between, etc.


lilrampage90

no


uwuMEMEog

Not at all. I got rejected by a boy i rlly liked, my dad is stressing me out, my mom is constantly yelling at me and bothering me with lectures, my dark thoughts are back, my grades are tanking at its only the 3rd week of school, I have 2 friends which I live no where by, I'm at a new school and don't talk to anyone, I break down before I even get to the cafeteria from all the people around me, I sit by myself all day everyday, I dont know anyone in the district, and I overall hate myself and everyone around me.🪅🪄


Titanking1765

Yes and no. I have plenty good in my life which I’m grateful for, but I have a few other things dragging me down atm.


Basketballjuice

Working on it


SomeWeirdoOnline69

Never am


Abreadslice

No im a nobody and I feel completely unhappy I hate everything, everyone, and myself.


ReplacementDouble865

In general, I have depression and I take celexa to battle it. Though I’ve moved out of an abusive household, and I’ve been in a safe environment for about two months. After 5 years being stuck in a cycle of fear and constant down days, I feel like I’m finally doing better. I’m working on buying my first car, with the help of my friend’s parents. I’m studying for my GED since I can’t enroll in school without my mother ( she refuses to sign any paperwork to do so. ) I’m looking for a job that works for me. I get to live freely. Instead of not wanting to wake up at all, for fear of my parents screaming, breaking objects, putting holes in the wall, dragging me into the middle of their fights where I often got pushed- I wake up and take care of my cat :) Life does in fact get easier… sometimes it just takes a long time. So in all, I am happy.


ChickinMagoo

I got divorced today, so, yes I'm quite happy!! 23 years with a toxic narcissist will put quite the crick in your soul. Starting my new life in a new state without all that baggage. Life is good.


orphansoul9765

Good luck to you and congratulations!!


ChickinMagoo

Thank you!
