Are you happy?

molly09

Are you happy with your life, if not when were you happy last?

There are a few things that could be better but all in all I'm very happy

Tigger99

There's a whole pile more I want to achieve but yeah I'm happy with what I have. Grateful.

i could be depressed if i wanted to be...

yabbav

I am not but i wasn't this time last year

I am now but i wasn't this time last year

A lot happier since I started to be healthier and decided to put my own needs first and not let people pick on me! Also removing myself from negative environments as much as possible.

r93kaey5p2izun

I am not, and the last time I was happy was probably 2012. Started making a concerted effort to improve my lot at that time, things got worse instead of better, and that made everything seem hopeless. Downhill all the way since then.

PowerToWait

Right now a bit down over a missed opportunity with a great lady.

But I see massive potential for 2016 being one of the best years yet for me on a few levels.

So yeah, unnothappy.

pudzey101

everyone will be happier in 2016 , hold on only a few days away !

RayM

I'm not desperately unhappy, but I can't think of a single aspect of my life that I'm happy with, or that doesn't need fixing.

For me., its been a downhill slip since November 2013 and just keep slipping.

Happy is a very loaded word-like I bought myself new headphones today s I had a voucher so I was happy.
In the grand scheme of things, I am far from happy.

dreamers75

Happy, decent kids, decent wife.

I'm feeling a bit down as well for the very same reason.

To answer the question in the title, I am happy overall. However, although I really like the people I work with, for financial and experience reasons, I feel I need a change of job. I just feel like I'm stuck at the moment, but things will work out in some way.

I am currently 29 and have been single for God knows how long, so lately I just feel I want to be with someone, and have been thinking a good bit about someone (see first line).

I am certainly not unhappy overall anyway. If the above two things were properly in line, if I can put it that way, then I'd be that bit happier. I've a great family, great friends and good health (just about). I just need to stop worrying about certain things that are perhaps out of my control.

whatismyname

Can't say I am. Realistically for reasons that I'll probably never have any control over, I probably never will be able to be properly happy.

The trick that I need to work on is to learn to live with this, and that in itself may bring some sense of contentment or acceptance.

whatawaster81

I have to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time.

Joey Jo-Jo Junior

No and it has been many years since I've been able to describe myself as happy. I'd have to go back to my childhood years.

Unfortunately, I don't foresee much change for another 3-4 years.

Stheno

Very content with my lot, good partner, good work life, making new friends too recently.

The past couple of days with the OH and his kids have been incredibly peaceful

Economy is getting better now surely everyone under 35 feels the future is getting better

Why 35?:D

caille

I am in a job I am unhappy in, in a house that needs too much done to it and can't really afford to get done and I have a very ill family member. So these parts of my life can make me very unhappy.

However, that same job has some good aspects going for it (money, conditions of work, leave, flexibility), my house is in a lovely area with everything we could want and the ill family member has the possibility of recovering. Plus, I have a great guy, decent parents, good friends and a gorgeous fluff ball of a cat who all make me feel loved and cared for.

So when I weigh it all up, I am actually happy.

The economy has very little to do with why I'm not happy.

I guess if their problems are of that nature then yes but certainly not everyone.

Fleawuss

I'm going to clap my hands and no AH, I'm not wearing a nappy.

PTH2009

It's my B-Day now and I feel miserable. I have a few haters out there who laugh at my expense. If I lived 25 more years marry, have kids, be in a good job I'd die happy and with my middle finger stuck up at these haters.

As a life long sufferer of depression, sometimes so severe that I didn't recognise my own family, to the regular every day ill feeling hanging about, I can say that I am now happy to be living. I'm not happy with my life because I'm nearly 35 and have little behind me in the way of achievements. But things have gone very right for me this year. I hope next year can go just as well.

Happy birthday! Haters gonna hate. A person on the internet thinks you deserve to be happy on your birthday because everyone does, and you're probably a good person, because most people are.

You seem to have your priorities right, good for you. Here's to a good 2016.

Halloween Jack

i sure am. Life is tough, but even in the worst of it I can appreciate what Kerouac called 'the ragged and ecstatic joy of pure being' ie: I wouldn't trade being me and being on this ride for anything;)

BunkMoreland

Last time I was happy happy was as a child.

Not to say I'm unhappy as an adult, its grand, OK, middling.

johnayo

Nothing special about my life, but I think I have most of the important things to me in place. I have a nice house in a place I like to live and have a reasonable job, and earn just about enough to pay all my bills and a holiday most years. I have a very good family. A few more bob would make life easier but in general I am happy with my lot.

All good here at the moment.

Zaph

There's probably stuff I could be unhappy about if I thought about it, but in the grand scheme of things they're trivial. I'm married to the most amazing woman who makes me happier than I could ever have imagined so I don't give a crap about any of the things that could get me down.

I'd say 90% of the time I dont feel either happy or unhappy. Just sort of neutral. Is that weird?

I'd say that's natural.

Content is probably the best anyone can hope for. Happyiness (joy) is transient. Moments taken here and there. No-one can be happy all the time. Unfortunately contentment is a bit away at the minute

misstearheus

Pretty happy right now yeah but alcoholic lubrication may or may not have played a part here. Also, I'm having trouble breathing right now just in case anybody wanted to know for any reason. G'night ________ , G'night _________ .

Annwhelan11

Keisha07

No haven't felt happy or content for ages

If you scratch away at my surface, thru all the complaining and moaning and trivial annoyances...you will find that in the core -I am happy. And lucky. Very lucky!

hairyslug

Apart from illness, loss of job and family deaths (all of which emotions I've bundled up and pushed down until I'm a simmering mess and explode) I'm pretty happy.

In general, my overall average mood is happy

NachoBusiness

Oh I remember Happy.

Last time was around 1981 watching Top Cat in my pajamas.

Incredibly happy and have been for a long time now. Long may it last; as life has a way of dumping sadness when we least expect it.
