if not, what would make you happy.

and i don't mean right this second, i mean in general, are you happy with your life?
 
Something I say everytime somebody asks this:

"I'm not happy, I'm content. Because the second I say I'm 'happy', that's the world's cue to take a massive **** on my head."
 
I'm alive. I'm got food, water, and shelter. I have an education and I have friends.
If we want to get into the silly stuff:
- I wish I could live somewhere else.
- I wish we made a bit more money.

Both would make me happier than I am now, but I'm pretty happy. I'd say about 75-80% happy.
 
yes.

except.

i just wish my friends could shut up and live a little.
stop being so judgmental and not have everything PERFECT in thier life.
i can't really even explain it.... like,
"is my hair ok!??!"
"EW EW THE FOOD TOUCHED THE GROUND OMG"

but im not COMPLAINING... even though it sounds like i am.
i hate when people complain about thier lives even though it's completely fine.
 
I'm content. I mean, I have parents who love me, pay for my college, are going to buy me a nice car, good food/water/shelter, all that jazz. I'm happy in that aspect, I have it pretty good off.

I'm happy about school. I've finally found a place that I don't hate, lol. I love going to school everyday, I enjoy doing homework, etcetra.

BUT, I wish I had better friends. I have superficial ones. Ones that I can laugh with, but we really don't talk about serious things. I don't have a friend to really lean on, which might be a good thing. Oh, and I wish my love life were working out a little better. As in, I don't have one. Oh well, I've got plenty of time.

So I'm not going to say I'm happy because I don't want everything to get screwed up. So I'm good, I'm content. :)
 
I am pretty happy.

The only things that make me unhappy, I can't change but will change in time. I just have to be patient. :)
 
Like others said, I'm content. I have a nice home and so much more than a ton of people don't have. I really have nothing to complain about. I just get kind of in a funk and it gets hard to get out of. I think part of it might be seasonal affective disorder because it seems to happen like this every winter around February. There are things that would make me happier and I think I'm a bit depressed, but overall I'm ok.
 
I'm grateful that I have a house over my head, food on my plate, clothes to wear, and a bed to sleep on.

But I'm not happy. The one thing that could make me happy is my mom being off house arrest and spending time with me like we use to do.
 
Yes, I'd say I'm happy.
I have the most important thing in the world to me, which is love.
I have the most amazing friends (i have some friends that i don't really care for, but when it comes down to it i've got this core group of amazing people surrounding me that are there when i need them.)
I have a wonderful ,loving, fun family
I am in university in a program that I really like--though the work gets to be a little much sometimes, that's not something I'm going to get upset over.
I don't have to pay for that education, which seriously, you have NO idea how grateful I am for that.
I have a job that I love, and though the pay isn't great, I'm getting by.
I go out, I have a good time, I'm living it up.
I get to go on vacations, though not as often as I wish I could, I still get to get and create amazing memories that I can cherish during the years that I don't get to go on a vacation.
I have a beautiful home in a safe and friendly neighbourhood.
Though at the moment I can't afford to buy EVERYTHING I want, in the long run those things don't make me HAPPY, they just perk me up a little.

I'm generally very thankful for and VERY happy with my life. I have everything I want, and I'm quite happy where I am right now
The one thing that gets me down sometimes is living in suburbia, but I just look forward to a future where I can move to the city and do my own thing.
 
you know the second i read this the first thing that popped into my head was "no" just because i'm really not...but then i started thinking about the difference between "happy" and "content"

i am perfectly content with my home life. my parents drive me insane, sure, but we also have some amazing times together. my parents both have good jobs and we're not struggling to make ends meet or anything so thats good. i have my instruments and my music and my grades are good so I really don't have anything to complain about...

then why am I so sad all the time? my friends are constantly calling me to do stuff and then ignoring me. my two best friends *at my school* completely ignore me in school and barely talk to me when we do stuff. my boyfriend tells me he loves me blah blah blah and then is forever flirting with other girls and all that stuff...

i've always felt like i feel things differently than other people...like more or deeper or something like that even when i was little but i guess everyone feels like they feel differently than everyone else.

ahhh idk what all that rambling was really about...needless to say no i am not happy. And I honestly don't know if I have ever been happy. And I don't know what to do so I will be happy...get out of Rhode Island probably would be a good start....:confused3
 
I'm happy at this moment. And I guess I'm happy with life, other than I suck at everything and I completely desire a relationship.
But I have no real reasons to not be happy.
 
i dont think i am.
but i smile so much, youd never know. :3
 
Yes, my nickname is actually smiley because all I do in school is smile. I cant control it LOL I just smile all the time

There are some things I wish I could have but

-I have God in my life and he is true happiness
-I'm alive and I dont have a disease that is killing me'
-I have a wonderful and close family
-I have great friends
-I have all the physical possestions I need
 
No I'm not at the moment.
And I honestly have no clue what would.
 
I'm very happy with my life. I have an amazing family, great friends, an even more amazing boyfriend, and I have the promise of tomorrow. That's all I need.
 
I'm happy for the most part, but I have a constant headache that makes me only content with my life.
 
I don't really know at the moment.
I'm just under so much stress.
School is getting ridiculous. SAT's, AP's, needing a GREAT GPA because my parents can't afford college for me, crazy lacrosse practice, needing to find a job desperately so I can go to college, wondering if we'll lose my house or if my dad will ever find a job in this market, friends and trying to find where I TRULY fit in, guys...

I feel like come May, when school starts to wind down, then I'll be able to focus and not feel so constantly confused and scared.
And then I can honestly say that I'm happy.
