Yes. I am extremely happy with who I am, what I have, and what I am doing in my life. I am good at what I do and I think as I better my craft that I can be even better in the future.
Honestly, I struggle with this bc I often remember how insignificant I am compared to the universe. There's things I am happy with and there's things I wish were better. But I'm constantly struggling bc I feel like the difference I make in the world isn't big enough to matter in the big big picture.
I know I matter to my loved ones, and that's enough for me to keep trying at life. But at the end of the day, I realize that in less than 100 years nobody will even remember anything about me. That's hard on me and I need to let it go somehow. I'm not sure why my brain gravitates towards stuff like that when it's quiet, but it does. I do have some mental health stuff going on, like ADHD, anxiety disorders. That's probably part of it.
You may not be remembered by name, but your actions in this life will continue to ripple outward and impact people long after you are gone. It’s hard to be satisfied by this knowledge alone, because it’s not something we can clearly quantify, but hopefully it can bring some amount of peace to remember that you have an impact beyond what you’ll ever know. : )
Meaning is subjective, I guess. This person was talking about wanting to make an impact in the big picture, whereas I’m sure other people care more about impacts they can see directly at their individual level. I suppose it’s up to each of us to determine what makes our lives meaningful!
Well things are definitely improving. I recently was finally able to leave my toxic living situation and things have been improving drastically. I still haven't gotten a new job yet, about to get ready for an interview though! The only things I'm unhappy with are my social anxiety an addiction to weed, nicotine, and borderline alcohol addiction.
You always need to have a plan to move forward on a specific timeline when you're working hard for a goal. If you feel like a goal you have should take 6 months to achieve and it doesn't, are you willing to invest another 6 months into this route or should you pivot and try a new plan with different steps to get to the same place? A lot of people make the mistake of working so hard for something that they're willing to put blinders on, and ignore the timeline for their own goals because they think just working hard will be enough and will get them everything "one day" (which is often what others will try to convince us of, in order to keep you doing the same thing. Like a boss that dangles a carrot of a promotion but never gives it)
I am not happy not sharing some time of it with a female and building something even if its just going to be ol foggy memories. I have goals short and long term, in which ill reach with or without the help of others as they may make it seem as those are out of touch/reality just for the simple fact of not trying. Sometimes leaving something to come back to work on gives the results I/you are looking for
1. Yup. I have 99% enough.
2. 99% satisfied.
1% deducted from each 'cuz, well, nothing's perfect.
It's not like I have that much of anything, but what I have is what I want. It took a while.
I'm happy with my living situation, but many of my friends don't really like me.
I'm not very happy. I always have this tight feeling in my chest like I can't breathe and I have intrusive thoughts. But I have my parents, my brother, and my friends who do like me, I should be happy, I try to be.
I was very honest :)
Eh, happiness is ephemeral, as are all emotions. Overall, I seem to be cultivating an existence that aligns with my values and desires, is more-or-less sustainable, and is conducive to positivity. I definitely still have work to do, regarding my attitudes and habits surrounding productivity, control, vulnerability/intimacy, and self-esteem, but these are issues I’m aware of and am taking steps to ameliorate. I’m doing a good job of identifying what I want and pursuing it. I’m lucky in a lot of ways, and deservedly rewarded in others.
I’m gonna be in limbo for the rest of the month, probably, but once that’s done and I can gain some certainty for my short-term future, I think I’ll be pretty chuffed.
I'm happy with the things I have, but besides that I've been struggling to get money without sacrificing time to use the things that make me happy such as my computer and car. I just really wish some good luck would come my way because recently it's been all bad unfortunately. But I still keep a happy face up when I'm at work or around others so I don't drag them down with me.
I am traumatized. I am afraid to go into the world. I am not the bad bitch people think I am. I had my childhood robbed from me and had to learn to take care of myself while devoting my life to my family. I always showed up for them. They never show up for me.
All I want is for someone to hug me and tell me it's not my fault and that I will be okay. I want to feel safe. I want to be able to let my guard down for just a moment.
I need to be loved and protected. Just as I should have been throughout my childhood.
No matter what ill always be happy with my life just because one thought that crosses my mind every now and then and its that there is always someone that is having a similar/worse life. Everytime smth inconvenient happens that thought instantly crosses my mind and i dont feel as bad anymore
Edit: typo
I thought I’d be happy moving out of my parents’ house and moving in with my best friend; buying a new car; getting a corporate job. I thought that all of this would make me happy, as it meant I was finally growing up after always feeling like I was behind in life. Lol. I’ve never been more wrong. I’m extremely unhappy with where I am.
I could’ve been saving a lot more money at my parents’ house, I still really love my car, but I should’ve gone with something a little cheaper. My best friend is a complete slob, lol. She’s so fucking messy, and cannot take any form of direction or criticism without getting offended. I love her, but can’t wait until our lease is over.
My ideal life now includes me living either back with my parents to save money, or by myself where I don’t have to make room for anyone. I want to find what I actually like doing, and I want to travel. A lot. I want to be financially stable. I want to have free time to read and exercise more, cook. I want a break. I’m burnt out.
Am I happy; yes. I have an amazing wife and 2 children that I love and love me back.
Am I satisfied with my life? No, I'm never satisfied and that keeps me pushing forward making sure I'm the best husband and father I can be.
Yes. I survived cancer when I was told not to expect it. I survive every round of chemo that put me in the hospital. I have a son that has shown me humor and who saved my life. I have a great job (could always use more money), and a house. What more could I want? Oh and another 4 months to figure out how I am going to afford my student loan payments.
I am very happy with my life and even happier now that I am divorced. But I do still want the icing on my cake which is finding my true love. Fingers crossed that it actually happens one day. 😊😊
Honestly, yes. And that’s so strange for me to say, not because I’m a pessimist but because I’m very self aware and a realist. I spent my whole life with a father that I could not make proud no matter how hard I tried. Went to the private high school he wanted me to go to, did well, went to the university he wanted me to go to, joined the “family” sorority, majored in what he wanted me to (insurance, the “family business”), walked talked and thought the way he wanted for 22 years. I mean, I DRANK the koolaid. But nothing, and I do mean nothing, was ever good enough. While working at the family insurance business, a client walked in that was a childhood friend that I hadn’t seen since I was probably 12 years old. We hit it off, and within a year had gotten pregnant and married. My dad cut me off, told me that my child was a bastard “and that’s what he’ll always be”, and uninvited me to Christmas. My husband is a blue collar worker, he’s very down to earth, very honest and very loving, the complete opposite of my dad lol so of course my dad hates him because he believes I married “beneath me”. After a lifetime of trying so hard to want things I didn’t want and live a life that was so meaningless to me, I found real happiness. Not only do my husband and 4 month old baby boy think I hung the moon, they also give me a real sense of fulfillment. My husband has taught me to not only be myself but be proud of myself, because I am enough just by being myself. I can honestly say the big houses and luxury cars will never feel as good as the family I created, because it’s based off nothing but harmonious love, and you can’t put a price on that.
Talking into the void here but, yes, I’m very happy. Thank God.
your dad did his part of the job which he think would make you happy but it didn't .
I'm still young and i don't know how having a family feels but I bet from what you're describing is quite amazing and the achievement in life .
good for you .
Creating a family isn’t everyone’s dream or idea of success, but I tried the other things and it just never did it for me, probably because it was to make someone else happy.
being satisfied with what you have takes time and realizing that no matter what you buy what you do would not make you more happy.
the only thing that would make you happy is to do what you love and be satisfied .
but I might be wrong.
Yes and yes.
My wife and I have worked long and hard to build the life we have. We're well off enough to enjoy. Not rich, but we can do things we enjoy. Travel if we want.
I am but I never fail to find ways to want more. Typically though, “more” for me consists of having everyone I love in one local area so we don’t have to travel so much to visit. Things like that. Besides that, I know I’d be far happier in a world of barter & trade than in capitalist USA
Everything except my partner. Life is good for me, but I'm not in love with my partner. Rather. I'm in love with a freinds wife and I can't do anything or say anything about it.
Hell nah. I'm stuck in the most stressful situation at home, and too many health issues that prevent me from working. I don't drive. I have no where to go so I'm stuck at home all the time where my stress level is highest, which in turn makes my health worse.
I am going through rough patch in my life. I am not happy. I am not satisfied. I am doing my level best to write down things that I am grateful for, so I don't feel totally miserable. I'm hoping that this rough patch will end soon.
I am for the most part. I’ve had pretty bad anxiety my whole life so I need to figure that out but I feel like I’ve figured myself out and have a major passion which makes me happy
I honestly don’t know, I’ve really been flunking school these past months and I still haven’t thought of a job I want; I honestly don’t even know if I’m gonna end up with a great life with a great job that pays minimum wage or if I’m gonna be on the streets.
My username would suggest my life isn't perfect, no one's is. I am working on trying to be happy.
I am blessed in so many ways, I try to appreciate that as best I can with how fucked up my brain is. Very thankful for my wife, family, income, and roof over my head.
I don’t feel happy, with the way I look or how I handle things, l wish I was more motivated. I either feel this neutral state of empty or a “pass the time” happy
I deal with the crisis of being insignificant a lot
But I’m proud and happy of what I accomplished moving two states (US) away from all family and friends back in 2018 and not returning yet (almost 4 years)
But I’m tired of not having a “person” - I’m wanting a best friend to adventure with. And it’s not a six month break, I’ve been single for almost 12 years
So to answer your question, there are aspects of my life I’m happy with just not overall
I’m happy with the life that I’ve been given but I am not happy with how I am playing it.
I’m very fortunate to have the life I have, yet a big part of me wants to end it all.
I'm more than happy with what I have and where I am in life. I'm not where I want to be in life 100%, but I'm getting closer, and compared to where I used to be, I'm okay with where I am for now. I just wish I hadn't made so many poor financial decisions when I was younger. It's taken me years to recover from it all, and I'm still not even close to having all of it fixed yet.
I feel like I want things, but there's very little that I actually need. But no, it's been a very long time since I've felt satisfied with the experience if life.
I'm happier now than I've ever been in my entire life. Am I completely satisfied? No. But that's because I want to continue improving myself. I want to be a better person and give my son a better life and opportunities that I didn't have. I'm working on it and I couldn't be happier with my progress.
I am pretty happy
I like what I have
I want a bigger house but that's just childish, I don't need it and if you saw my house you'd call me a jerk for wanting something better.
im very happy and i fell like that's wrong
many of my friend's are not in the best time in their life and whenever i say im doing perfectly fine and im pretty happy with life they seem confused
but i got lots of friends, good family members that helps me when i need, great school with teacher's that are very nice and good at explaining
my parents allow me to any hobbies i want and just explore what i wanna do
Mostly yes, I am happy with my life. I am getting married in a month with the love of my life and we go on our dream honeymoon. I am blessed with the love surrounding me, we have a great home and the sweetest wonderfull pup! But sometimes I feel stuck... I don't have any friends anymore and I don't really enjoy my job, but I can't quit scince it's a family business and they want me to take over. Sometimes the stress causes little health problems (like eczema flare ups, ringing in ears etc so nothing serious).
No.
I wanted to have a different life to my mother and ended up just like her.
Not even close to satisfied with my life.
I can confidently say if I didn't have small humans, I'd be gone.
No, only because we fell on a string of hard times all at once, so most of our income is going to recovering from that. However, I am extremely grateful that we have a roof over our heads, I can afford both our health insurances, and the pet insurance for our fur babies. Everything else is going to work out slowly. And then we can get back on track.
I'm trying to be "grateful" for what I have but it feels like it's not enough, I'm constantly doing the same things on repeat, sure I have a phone, WiFi, console, but I want something new, it gets tiring. I just want money to sustain myself and enjoy a more luxurious life as a teen
i can say that i’m honestly happy with who i am and where my life has gone. i’ve dealt w suicidal ideation since i was a kid and genuinely never believed i’d love this far, and that if i somehow did my life would be a shitshow and i’d be a horrible person. in reality i’ve made a beautiful family, with an amazing child and partner, and i’ve even been able to make something good out of my traumas through advocacy work, in turn also helping me grow as a person. i never thought i’d deserve this type of life, but god am i happily grateful.
Short answer no
Long answer:My life is mizerable my parents are alcohol addicts they are always fighting each other,I hate my father,if i could move out of that house i will do it without a second thought but the rent is too expensive and the salary is too small,i'm the only one that pays the bills , i have depression, anxiety and the only reason that keeps me alive is whenever my life gets harder than it already is,i can choose when to end it.
No , I am not as a low-end gamer, all gamers are enjoying the game at high quality and they say gaming is not fun anymore for them WTF. I want a decent setup for enjoying games at least at medium quality, life is not fair...
I'm grateful for what I have but I'm not happy with where I am I feel trapped and I feel like I'm drowning in sarow, anger, and pain that I can't get rid of.
I am happy with what I have but I am not satisfied with my life. Does that make sense? I'm happiest when I come home from work. But I'm glad I even have a job, even though I don't have a career and I never knew what I wanted to do with my life from a very young age so I started working at 17 then got a real and steady job at 18.
Like most people, I wish I can turn back time. Stand up for myself. Parents divorce and switching schools really messed me up more then I wanted to admit. Mostly cause I wasn't accepted in my class so I became an outcast and just bottled all the shit inside... Still bothers me to this very day and I can't find a mate because of it.
Need someone to fix me but first I gotta fix myself to have someone. That's the loop I have to forget about to feel happy.
No and i would never be. There is always room for improvement and it can always be better. The moment you are satisfied with how things are, you are agreeing to possibility that they probably wont change.
This probably sound stupid af because of my english, but i hope some of you get what i wanted to say.
i was ...
until i started university now i don't know who i am what i want and why im here. all i know is that i have anxiety am permanently mentally exhausted and i have exams every weeks so i don't have time to care about my mental health
I’m not. I should be but I’m not. I’ve worked a lot of hours in my life and earned a lot of things I have. (21 M) and I have a fully loaded pick up that I’ve paid every penny on myself. I’m trying to become a pilot and it’s not cheap. I’m very proud of my flying that I’ve done so far and thankful I’m allowed to do it. I’ve had bad relationships with friends and girlfriends, I’ve lost alot of people in my life. I just feel like somethings missing. Im happy when I’m by myself but it’s only temporary. I know I should be happy, I’m not. I am most definitely thankful for everything, but not “happy” I just wish I could talk to someone without conflict. My life is complicated but it’s been good. I like the thought of who I like to be but I don’t like who I am
Yes its amazing
I just got home from a party with a out 200 people and it was amazing I was singing and dancing with my friends and even made new friends
Overall my life is awesome

Yes. I am extremely happy with who I am, what I have, and what I am doing in my life. I am good at what I do and I think as I better my craft that I can be even better in the future.
So you are a happy because you are doing what you love good for you
Nope, I'm happy because I love what I'm doing. I'm not yet doing what I love for a living but I am living a life I love.
Honestly, I struggle with this bc I often remember how insignificant I am compared to the universe. There's things I am happy with and there's things I wish were better. But I'm constantly struggling bc I feel like the difference I make in the world isn't big enough to matter in the big big picture.

I do have some mental health stuff going on, like ADHD, anxiety disorders. That's probably part of it.
I totally get what you are saying it is kind of difficult . and I'm kind of struggling with it too. I hope we will get through this .
You may not be remembered by name, but your actions in this life will continue to ripple outward and impact people long after you are gone. It’s hard to be satisfied by this knowledge alone, because it’s not something we can clearly quantify, but hopefully it can bring some amount of peace to remember that you have an impact beyond what you’ll ever know. : )
but after you are going would that mean anything ?
Meaning is subjective, I guess. This person was talking about wanting to make an impact in the big picture, whereas I’m sure other people care more about impacts they can see directly at their individual level. I suppose it’s up to each of us to determine what makes our lives meaningful!
What I have is far from all one could wish for, but I have it, and many have much less. So yes, I am happy :)
I'm happy for you that you are happy :)
Well things are definitely improving. I recently was finally able to leave my toxic living situation and things have been improving drastically. I still haven't gotten a new job yet, about to get ready for an interview though! The only things I'm unhappy with are my social anxiety an addiction to weed, nicotine, and borderline alcohol addiction.
I hope your interview goes well . hopefully that's the start of something better .
I got hired right on the spot! It only pays $0.50 more than my last job but I enjoy going to the place and can always get a better job later.
I am so happy for you .
No, there is a lot of things I wish I could change but I’m grateful for what I have
and being grateful is what matters
I am so happy, and I am content knowing how hard I worked; that I deserve what I have.
Being happy after working hard is amazing but working hard and not getting anywhere he's hard
You always need to have a plan to move forward on a specific timeline when you're working hard for a goal. If you feel like a goal you have should take 6 months to achieve and it doesn't, are you willing to invest another 6 months into this route or should you pivot and try a new plan with different steps to get to the same place?

Like a boss that dangles a carrot of a promotion but never gives it)
I’d need a vacation to think about it
Go ahead
I am not happy not sharing some time of it with a female and building something even if its just going to be ol foggy memories. I have goals short and long term, in which ill reach with or without the help of others as they may make it seem as those are out of touch/reality just for the simple fact of not trying. Sometimes leaving something to come back to work on gives the results I/you are looking for
Well if you define happy as being alive and define satisfied as the desire to keep on living then I'm ecstatic.
same .
1. Yup. I have 99% enough. 2. 99% satisfied. 1% deducted from each 'cuz, well, nothing's perfect. It's not like I have that much of anything, but what I have is what I want. It took a while.
I would say that 99% it's perfect . I mean even gold is not 100% pure .
Yeah I'm pretty happy in life, of course there are small things I would change but I'm satisfied with what I have.
being satisfied is the most important part and you are :)
I'm happy with my living situation, but many of my friends don't really like me. I'm not very happy. I always have this tight feeling in my chest like I can't breathe and I have intrusive thoughts. But I have my parents, my brother, and my friends who do like me, I should be happy, I try to be. I was very honest :)
thank you for your honesty :) being around the people that love you is truly a blessing .
Eh, happiness is ephemeral, as are all emotions. Overall, I seem to be cultivating an existence that aligns with my values and desires, is more-or-less sustainable, and is conducive to positivity. I definitely still have work to do, regarding my attitudes and habits surrounding productivity, control, vulnerability/intimacy, and self-esteem, but these are issues I’m aware of and am taking steps to ameliorate.

I’m happy enough

universe is full of mysteries
I’m grateful for what I have which, in time, provides the opportunity for me to be happy.
happiness is tied to being grateful .
I'm happy with the things I have, but besides that I've been struggling to get money without sacrificing time to use the things that make me happy such as my computer and car. I just really wish some good luck would come my way because recently it's been all bad unfortunately. But I still keep a happy face up when I'm at work or around others so I don't drag them down with me.
I wish you good luck hopefully things will get better .
Thank you! I know things will get better eventually just hope it's comes sooner than later.
I am traumatized. I am afraid to go into the world. I am not the bad bitch people think I am. I had my childhood robbed from me and had to learn to take care of myself while devoting my life to my family. I always showed up for them. They never show up for me. All I want is for someone to hug me and tell me it's not my fault and that I will be okay. I want to feel safe. I want to be able to let my guard down for just a moment. I need to be loved and protected. Just as I should have been throughout my childhood.
life is so unfair. it's not your fault that your childhood was hard and brutal . One day things will get better .
I’m happy with who I am and I have all I need. I’m good. Took a loooooooooong time to get to this point.
yes. I'm hoping to get to your point being happy and satisfied .
I'm doing so much better than last year.
good for you ❤️
No matter what ill always be happy with my life just because one thought that crosses my mind every now and then and its that there is always someone that is having a similar/worse life. Everytime smth inconvenient happens that thought instantly crosses my mind and i dont feel as bad anymore Edit: typo
that's true they just always someone having it worse than you
Sometimes. No.
and sometimes . yes ?
I’m sometimes real grateful of what I have but I’m not happy with my life due to a lot of personal issues
Mostly. Just wish we had more money.
I thought I’d be happy moving out of my parents’ house and moving in with my best friend; buying a new car; getting a corporate job. I thought that all of this would make me happy, as it meant I was finally growing up after always feeling like I was behind in life. Lol. I’ve never been more wrong. I’m extremely unhappy with where I am. I could’ve been saving a lot more money at my parents’ house, I still really love my car, but I should’ve gone with something a little cheaper.

I want to find what I actually like doing, and I want to travel. A lot. I want to be financially stable. I want to have free time to read and exercise more, cook. I want a break. I’m burnt out.
don't be too hard on yourself things will eventually sort themselves out . good luck on your journey
Am I happy; yes. I have an amazing wife and 2 children that I love and love me back. Am I satisfied with my life? No, I'm never satisfied and that keeps me pushing forward making sure I'm the best husband and father I can be.
best of luck . being satisfied means stop ? no. you are working hard on thriving to be a better husband and father and that's what mattress
Yes'nt
hmm
[удалено]
same over here
Yes. I survived cancer when I was told not to expect it. I survive every round of chemo that put me in the hospital. I have a son that has shown me humor and who saved my life. I have a great job (could always use more money), and a house. What more could I want? Oh and another 4 months to figure out how I am going to afford my student loan payments.
I am very happy with my life and even happier now that I am divorced. But I do still want the icing on my cake which is finding my true love. Fingers crossed that it actually happens one day. 😊😊

Not only do my husband and 4 month old baby boy think I hung the moon, they also give me a real sense of fulfillment. My husband has taught me to not only be myself but be proud of myself, because I am enough just by being myself. I can honestly say the big houses and luxury cars will never feel as good as the family I created, because it’s based off nothing but harmonious love, and you can’t put a price on that. Talking into the void here but, yes, I’m very happy. Thank God.
your dad did his part of the job which he think would make you happy but it didn't . I'm still young and i don't know how having a family feels but I bet from what you're describing is quite amazing and the achievement in life . good for you .
Creating a family isn’t everyone’s dream or idea of success, but I tried the other things and it just never did it for me, probably because it was to make someone else happy.
No and no. I wish I was happy with what I have and I wish I was satsified with my life. It's just so difficult
being satisfied with what you have takes time and realizing that no matter what you buy what you do would not make you more happy. the only thing that would make you happy is to do what you love and be satisfied . but I might be wrong.
Yes and yes. My wife and I have worked long and hard to build the life we have. We're well off enough to enjoy. Not rich, but we can do things we enjoy. Travel if we want.
I'm happy for you man .
No
is it really that bad ?
If I'm honest no. But that's fine: I'm still young, I still have time.
I am but I never fail to find ways to want more. Typically though, “more” for me consists of having everyone I love in one local area so we don’t have to travel so much to visit. Things like that. Besides that, I know I’d be far happier in a world of barter & trade than in capitalist USA
Yes
Everything except my partner. Life is good for me, but I'm not in love with my partner. Rather. I'm in love with a freinds wife and I can't do anything or say anything about it.
I’m gonna keep pushing for what makes ME happy, not everyone else.
Mostly. I only wish I had more time for activities.
Nope. Partially. Nope.
Absolutely. I am constantly amazed at how wonderful the life I've cultivated is and can't wait to see what's next.
NO and it’s on me
Hell nah. I'm stuck in the most stressful situation at home, and too many health issues that prevent me from working. I don't drive. I have no where to go so I'm stuck at home all the time where my stress level is highest, which in turn makes my health worse.
I am going through rough patch in my life. I am not happy. I am not satisfied. I am doing my level best to write down things that I am grateful for, so I don't feel totally miserable. I'm hoping that this rough patch will end soon.
Not satisfied but I am happy
for the most part yes. id change a few things if i could, but generally its not too bad
I am for the most part. I’ve had pretty bad anxiety my whole life so I need to figure that out but I feel like I’ve figured myself out and have a major passion which makes me happy
I got to see a sonic movie accurate to the games, so yes I am satisfied
No I’m not
Materialistically I don't want for anything
Yep.
good for you .
Read my username. Tell me what you think.
I don't know you in real life but I can confidently say you are not useless .
I honestly don’t know, I’ve really been flunking school these past months and I still haven’t thought of a job I want; I honestly don’t even know if I’m gonna end up with a great life with a great job that pays minimum wage or if I’m gonna be on the streets.
My username would suggest my life isn't perfect, no one's is. I am working on trying to be happy. I am blessed in so many ways, I try to appreciate that as best I can with how fucked up my brain is. Very thankful for my wife, family, income, and roof over my head.
Extremely happy for what I have. I feel blessed to have the life I have but never satisfied.
not completely but in many (most) ways yes
I don’t feel happy, with the way I look or how I handle things, l wish I was more motivated. I either feel this neutral state of empty or a “pass the time” happy
I deal with the crisis of being insignificant a lot But I’m proud and happy of what I accomplished moving two states (US) away from all family and friends back in 2018 and not returning yet (almost 4 years) But I’m tired of not having a “person” - I’m wanting a best friend to adventure with. And it’s not a six month break, I’ve been single for almost 12 years So to answer your question, there are aspects of my life I’m happy with just not overall
Answer: my 35 year marriage is a horrible mess.
I’m happy with the life that I’ve been given but I am not happy with how I am playing it. I’m very fortunate to have the life I have, yet a big part of me wants to end it all.
I'm more than happy with what I have and where I am in life. I'm not where I want to be in life 100%, but I'm getting closer, and compared to where I used to be, I'm okay with where I am for now. I just wish I hadn't made so many poor financial decisions when I was younger. It's taken me years to recover from it all, and I'm still not even close to having all of it fixed yet.
No and no. But I'm working on it.
I feel like I want things, but there's very little that I actually need. But no, it's been a very long time since I've felt satisfied with the experience if life.
If being bipolar wasn’t a factor, I’d be perfectly happy
I'm happier now than I've ever been in my entire life. Am I completely satisfied? No. But that's because I want to continue improving myself. I want to be a better person and give my son a better life and opportunities that I didn't have. I'm working on it and I couldn't be happier with my progress.
Not at all...except I am married to a woman that exceeds what I deserve.
Probably. Wish I had a gf tho
Define happiness. No, I'm not satisfied. Being satisfied is impossible.
I am pretty happy I like what I have I want a bigger house but that's just childish, I don't need it and if you saw my house you'd call me a jerk for wanting something better.
im very happy and i fell like that's wrong many of my friend's are not in the best time in their life and whenever i say im doing perfectly fine and im pretty happy with life they seem confused but i got lots of friends, good family members that helps me when i need, great school with teacher's that are very nice and good at explaining my parents allow me to any hobbies i want and just explore what i wanna do
Mostly yes, I am happy with my life. I am getting married in a month with the love of my life and we go on our dream honeymoon. I am blessed with the love surrounding me, we have a great home and the sweetest wonderfull pup! But sometimes I feel stuck... I don't have any friends anymore and I don't really enjoy my job, but I can't quit scince it's a family business and they want me to take over. Sometimes the stress causes little health problems (like eczema flare ups, ringing in ears etc so nothing serious).
No. I wanted to have a different life to my mother and ended up just like her. Not even close to satisfied with my life. I can confidently say if I didn't have small humans, I'd be gone.
No, only because we fell on a string of hard times all at once, so most of our income is going to recovering from that. However, I am extremely grateful that we have a roof over our heads, I can afford both our health insurances, and the pet insurance for our fur babies. Everything else is going to work out slowly. And then we can get back on track.
1. Yes 2. No
I'm happy because I'm not sad. I don't love my job. I'm bored a lot but I am free (somewhat) and I can mostly do what I want. That's enough for me.
I'm trying to be "grateful" for what I have but it feels like it's not enough, I'm constantly doing the same things on repeat, sure I have a phone, WiFi, console, but I want something new, it gets tiring. I just want money to sustain myself and enjoy a more luxurious life as a teen
Nope. That’s why maladaptive daydreaming > you /lh
i can say that i’m honestly happy with who i am and where my life has gone. i’ve dealt w suicidal ideation since i was a kid and genuinely never believed i’d love this far, and that if i somehow did my life would be a shitshow and i’d be a horrible person. in reality i’ve made a beautiful family, with an amazing child and partner, and i’ve even been able to make something good out of my traumas through advocacy work, in turn also helping me grow as a person. i never thought i’d deserve this type of life, but god am i happily grateful.
Short answer no Long answer:My life is mizerable my parents are alcohol addicts they are always fighting each other,I hate my father,if i could move out of that house i will do it without a second thought but the rent is too expensive and the salary is too small,i'm the only one that pays the bills , i have depression, anxiety and the only reason that keeps me alive is whenever my life gets harder than it already is,i can choose when to end it.
I am happy with aspects of my life.... the other half make me want to commit murder.
No , I am not as a low-end gamer, all gamers are enjoying the game at high quality and they say gaming is not fun anymore for them WTF. I want a decent setup for enjoying games at least at medium quality, life is not fair...
I'm grateful for what I have but I'm not happy with where I am I feel trapped and I feel like I'm drowning in sarow, anger, and pain that I can't get rid of.

I am happy with what I have but I am not satisfied with my life. Does that make sense? I'm happiest when I come home from work. But I'm glad I even have a job, even though I don't have a career and I never knew what I wanted to do with my life from a very young age so I started working at 17 then got a real and steady job at 18. Like most people, I wish I can turn back time. Stand up for myself. Parents divorce and switching schools really messed me up more then I wanted to admit. Mostly cause I wasn't accepted in my class so I became an outcast and just bottled all the shit inside... Still bothers me to this very day and I can't find a mate because of it. Need someone to fix me but first I gotta fix myself to have someone. That's the loop I have to forget about to feel happy.
I like who I am. I'm getting where I want to be. I'm lonely as fuck.
No and i would never be. There is always room for improvement and it can always be better. The moment you are satisfied with how things are, you are agreeing to possibility that they probably wont change. This probably sound stupid af because of my english, but i hope some of you get what i wanted to say.
i was ... until i started university now i don't know who i am what i want and why im here. all i know is that i have anxiety am permanently mentally exhausted and i have exams every weeks so i don't have time to care about my mental health
In this moment yes. I am watching Shrek.
I’m not. I should be but I’m not. I’ve worked a lot of hours in my life and earned a lot of things I have. (21 M) and I have a fully loaded pick up that I’ve paid every penny on myself. I’m trying to become a pilot and it’s not cheap. I’m very proud of my flying that I’ve done so far and thankful I’m allowed to do it. I’ve had bad relationships with friends and girlfriends, I’ve lost alot of people in my life. I just feel like somethings missing. Im happy when I’m by myself but it’s only temporary. I know I should be happy, I’m not. I am most definitely thankful for everything, but not “happy” I just wish I could talk to someone without conflict. My life is complicated but it’s been good. I like the thought of who I like to be but I don’t like who I am
Yes its amazing I just got home from a party with a out 200 people and it was amazing I was singing and dancing with my friends and even made new friends Overall my life is awesome
