How happy are you?

[`unreal]

I mentioned happiness to a friend, and I got an idea for this simple thread.

Just a general interest question... for me, I consider to be relatively unhappy with life. If I look at myself now, I should be happy, very happy even. But theres many things too personal which are breaking me down. Im young, and in quite a good financial state.

But buying nice things only bandages the wound, it never heals it.


Feel free to share your thoughts and feelings.... lol ;D

 

[Ikerous]

I live in a pretty much constant state of stoicism, so.. i pick other

 

[Vorac1ous]

Money = anger\sadness

No Money = happiness.

So poor people are happier than rich people

But I voted: feel random.

 

[evil^milk]

i feel bahish because i run from the truth and sometimes remember old problems that i need to work on.

 

[Vegeta897]

Your analogy needs work... Bandages DO heal things.. Maybe a painkiller would be a better substitue...

Anyway, yeah I'm pretty happy. It sucks that I have school tomorrow, (ugh mondays) but spring break is really soon.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Money is what you make of it Voracious.

I feel pretty happy about things, but superficially I'm feeling a bit low because of college and university.

 

[Ames]

I feel like WIN!

 

[kirovman]

Well you need a bit of money, just so you can get by in life.
But I wouldn't rely on consumerism to make yourself happy.

Instead try to set out some goals, aims or dreams in your life, and strive to achieve them. Don't feel too bad when you don't achieve them...just think of them as an experience which will change you for the better and learn from that.

I voted for room for improvements, because I'm pretty happy, but there's a few things I need to achieve in the next couple of years to become truely happy.
Although, having said that, if I keep that attitude, I'll never be able to vote "Life couldn't be better" because I'm always striving for improvement.

I'm on a bit of a high because I've nearly graduated from Uni, but on a bit of a low at the same time because I haven't got a good job sorted yet.

But if things goto plan, with no unforeseen tragic events , this time in 2 years I'm pretty sure I can say things couldn't be better.

Your analogy needs work... Bandages DO heal things..

No they don't, it only assists/accelerates/covers the healing process, which fundamentally relies on the human recovery process. Bandages are usually a material wall to stop infection and things.

 

[ComradeBadger]

I feel good, but theres room for improvements

I'm so emo it hurts

 

[Tr0n]

Option 4.

 

[Mattigus]

Im feeling very fine, partly because I aced 2 exams, partly that I spent an entire day (and night) with my girlfriend for our one year anniversary, and mostly because it's mother effing SPRING BREAK. WOO.

 

[h00dlum]

No school, no job, no problems...no not really..im bored to death during weekdays..on weekends i party and im happy

 

[Shippi]

I've been pretty down recently, mostly because of school I think

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Room for improvements.


But generally things are going a little better than usual.

 

[KoreBolteR]

IM FEELING GREAT, BUT THERE IS SOME ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTS

ffs ^ignore caps^

 

[JunkieXL]

Quite satisfied with how things are now, and the conclusions I've made, but could be better.

 

[Fat Tony!]

Im usually really good but minor things going wrong puts me down all day so well I voted random.

 

[simmo]

A bit random. Happy because I'm getting a weeks holiday next week , and sad because i'm behind on work, and I dont have WoW ;(

 

[lePobz]

If suicide was an option, i'd have taken it by now.

 

[B-MAn]

I think the more money i have the harder life gets....you have mopre choices to make and the more money u have the more distractions u will have.

I;m not really sad but then again i ain;t too happy either. i really need time to sort myself out and see where im going in life.

 

[jondy]

I've been pretty down recently, mostly because of school I think

Tell me about it, replace school with college and you're jondy

Kindof lifted myself up this weekend tho', got out, had a couple of good nights, so hopefully I'll be bouncing around by monday

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I've just had a week geography field course in Wales which is why i've not been around (not like anyone would notice anyway! ) and a party, now a week of college coming up...then easter break. So things are quite busy atm but i'm happy about that, although theres always things which could be better. No matter who you are.

 

[mortiz]

I'm approximately 3.57 happy.

 

[oldagerocker]

I feel random... sometimes im up, sometimes im down... so, bleh.

 

[Gorgon]

Beh I feel quite random... happy and sad

doing uni-work at home, no females to play with, I feel sad every weekends.

I need a job.

 

[Shakermaker]

I am genuinely happy. Spring's coming!

:0

 

[PvtRyan]

I FEEEL GGRRREEAAAT!! Babies everywhere!

 

[Laivasse]

I'm struggling with uni, I've lost any sense of a point to my life, and feel worthless and generally cursed. At the same time, there's a lot of simple things that make me happy enough to never seriously consider suicide.

It seems to me that I've become so generally jaded that I've lost the ability to feel emotion properly and therefore need to judge myself objectively. So I picked "world is crumbling" even though I don't feel suicidal - it's more than just a "miserable time", since that sounds a bit too trifling. I'm generally also quite stoical. Maybe I should have picked "other".

 

[Snakebyte]

I think the more money i have the harder life gets....you have mopre choices to make and the more money u have the more distractions u will have.

If that's how you really feel I'd be glad to take some of it off your hands...

I said #2 because I'm stressed out about exams over the next few days, but after that I'm off for a week and a half, LANing with friends, getting a new computer...

That's me all over. 100%.

 

[ray_MAN]

There are room for improvements, but Easter break is coming up, so that is shooting my happiness up!

 

[Shippi]

Hmmm... for me, easter break means that I've run out of time on my coursework..

crap

Same here...

Well actually I technically ran out of time on Friday, as she said she wouldn't accept any more handins after that. But I know I can talk my way into getting her to accept my entry. I just need to finish it :x...tonight.

 

[StardogChampion]

Got at least 5 illustration projects on the go at one time. What makes it harder is that we have 3 different teachers. It's pretty hard to judge where you're meant to be with each project with relation to the due in date.

We visited a professional agency last week, and their guys only have 6 projects on the go at one time. That's the problem with having 3 teachers, each of them seem to forget they're not your only teacher, and it can get pretty annoying.

I'd rather have 10 projects at one time with 1 teacher, than 5 projects with 3 teachers. Anoyingly stressful.

 

[Burn]

Only poor people think money cant buy happyness.

Money can buy anything, I like money. Dont have enough of it, so Im only kinda sorta happy.

 

[Murray]

My choice is "I feel good, but theres room for improvements"
And the room for improvements would be to get the X800XT card to my otherwise kickass computer. :thumbs:

 

[CrazyHarij]

I feel random.

 

[The Monkey]

I'm quite sad, beacause I'm at the moment at a VG+ on maths.

 

[Sieg]

Room for improvements,but good enough.
