Are you....?

[SaetonChapelle]

I am quite happy. I have a few good friends. I have a well paying job, a roof over my head, and the ability to do anything or go anywhere that I desire. I have no real complaints. :3

 

[OctoH]

Happy? No. Content? Yes. Very.

 

[EPIC_MAN_OF_BACON]

You don't honestly give a shit because you don't know us. Know that happiness is like a virus, happy people want to spread it. Spread it like the zombies from 28 Days Later, barfing it all over your face. Your sad in any way, then happy people call you emo and want to give you bullshit advice. Bullshit be damned, I broke into a happy persons house and stole all of their shit, now they are sad like me.

and drops the soap

I am a psychologist, it is my job to care, and a christian, i love my neighbor as i love myself. and you guys on the escapist are some interesting people to say the least, so i want to know how people are.

Virus? i Do not help anyone that doesn't want it, can not force anyone to be happy. I just said i was happy. Never did i scream, "HEY I AM SO SLAP HAPPY, AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO CAUSE WE SHOULD ALL BE SOOOOOOOOO HAPPPY!" i just said i was happy, and asked how you were. And i am not giving you advice.

so in some aspects, your anger and depression is the virus, cause your post just made me say, "wow...."

As a skeptical 20 year old who has been on the internet for a very long time, I seriously doubt you are a psychologist. If you are truly a psychologist (Qualified) then you would have had to have completed many years of higher education. If you had, you would impulsively capitalize your I's and spell things correctly. Writing a lot of essays does that to you.


EDIT: Also, the elipsis in the title is incorrect.

I am autistic and dyslexic, specializing in the study and development of autism children and adults, writing, or more so, typing really is not my strong suite. When it comes to the mind, i (<----- OH MAN, GRAMMAR NAZI GONNA GET ME ON THAT ONE!) know plenty. while i am appreciative of your skepticism, it is unwarranted. Plus, its a minor, because i am a game developer as well ( I'm a code monkey :3) which is my main job. Psychology is something i have studied and do privately for autistic families.

captcha: question everything
Ok, i really think they are spying on us now

Got a hot, sexy, but still thinking and funny wife that loves me utterly (i know cause she will attack any woman she believes looks at me, and flips out if she thinks im looking at another woman)

Personally, I would hate being with someone like that because it would make me feel like they didn't trust me. My boyfriend is fine with other guys looking at me (and with me checking out other guys) because he knows I love him and that I'll never cheat. Likewise, I don't mind him enjoying a bit of eye-candy, because I know looking is all he'll do.

One of the biggest things in my life making me happy right now is the realisation that I've found my life partner: Someone who's always got my back. Someone I never have to hide things from. Someone I can take on the world with.

</vomit-inducing-love-struck-rambles>

Twas more of a hyperbole you see, she doesn't like the idea of me looking at other girls at times, but she knows i do it, knows i am not getting ideas, because my eyes are on her more often ;D

 

[ChippedShoulder]

Wish I were less single, but otherwise yeah pretty happy, my guitar playing is getting better by the day and I've found out (much to my delight) that I don't suffer from exam stress. At all. So all is well with me

I feel some of your pain, at least. 25, live with my folks, can't seem to find a job for the life of me.
Have you considered leaving the country and teaching English somewhere? That's what I'm trying to do now. If you're a native speaker and have a degree, that's more than enough to qualify you in some places.

OT: Not especially happy. I'm not really content with my life right now. Never have been, really. Once I stumbled on the Wikipedia entry for "Puer aeternus", and that pretty much describes me to a T. "Life itself... is experienced as a prison." And I'd bust myself out if it weren't for people who depend on me for physical help and emotional support.

Sounds difficult and expensive. I think I'll just continue whining on the internet. :/

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I haven't been happy in months, and it could be longer but I stopped keeping track.

Right now, I just exist.

Basically everything I've tried to do or make better goes straight to hell, that doesn't mean I'm giving up, but it's getting really old trying hard to improve things and nothing works.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

Romantically, I'm ecstatic. Been with my girlfriend two years and next to no problems or disputes have arisen.
Socially, i'm definately getting there. Getting settled in with a decent group of people i can have a laugh with, something thats hard for me personally.
Financially, not really. Kinda out of ways to earn the cash i need -.-
Career wise, nope. I ain't making the progress as i had hoped to be. Nothing to blame other than my brain really, and i need to invest time into teaching myself things i suppose.

 

[Captain Pirate]

I am ALWAYS happy.
I have a happy outlook on life now.
Nothing can get me down anymore.
Should've had major A level exam stress and been rather torn up about this girl I thought I had something with being so suddenly unresponsive, but fuck that shit, it's sunny outside and I ate some ice cream. I'm happy again.
Every little thing gets me excited and cheery now

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

Hmm. No job at the moment (and a crappy market), all of the local gyms are unreasonably expensive, which means I'm going a bit stir-crazy. But my husband is awesome and I've got some plans for possible self-employment, so I'm in a better position than I could be.

Personally, I would hate being with someone like that because it would make me feel like they didn't trust me. My boyfriend is fine with other guys looking at me (and with me checking out other guys) because he knows I love him and that I'll never cheat.

Not to insult the OP or his wife, but...yeah, I'm inclined to agree.

Twas more of a hyperbole you see, she doesn't like the idea of me looking at other girls at times, but she knows i do it, knows i am not getting ideas, because my eyes are on her more often ;D

...oh, okay, then. (I'd call that less "hyperbole" than "entirely different story," but ehh.)

DO IT YOU WILL NEVER EVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE

I swear to god if I got the opportunity again, I had the same thing happened to me and now I am kicking my self so hard for not taking it!

If it helps think of it this way, if you don't a real jerk will and leave her shattered, try and build a relationship or at least go there man!

Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Good Luck and God Speed

[Relish in Chaos]

Ehhh?in a nutshell, no. I?m not generally happy, and my CBT for my problems doesn?t start until next month. And I don?t think it?s just the fact that I?m a teenager, because one of my biggest problems is that I?m not like my peers at all. I actually don?t get myself, I don?t get other people, I don?t get my life, and I don?t get the world.

It could be worse, people always say, but it could be better? Why isn?t it better? Beats me. It?s both my fault and not my fault, but for some reason, I?m in a place where I?m unable to change it. And I can?t cry or self-harm. Why? That's another question that there?s apparently no answers for.

I should be going to bed now for another shitty exam tomorrow that I've done fuck all revision for and am finding difficult to care about.

 

[370999]

I can usually eat food and have a bed, that's all I really need. I'm a man of simple tests.

 

[217not237]

I've been very happy lately, which is fairly shocking, considering the fact that a few months ago I was incredibly depressed.

 

[MrShowerHead]

Not sure how I feel. Most of the time I have the neutral "It could always be much worse" feeling. Sure, I got all those damn health problems (Asthma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, both knees fucked up...) but... I don't know. It could be worse.

So, for now, I'll manage

 

[Daveman]

Rubbing it in are we?

I guess I'm alright I guess. Maybe a bit skewed by the fact that I'm taking 3rd year uni exams right now and could be better prepared.

Spoiler

There is zen in this and it has helped me immensely

 

[jpoon]

I am happy on many occasions. It's rarely a full time gig.
