simple question. also a pretty loaded question.

i decided to make this thread because for the first time in, well, probably ever, i can honestly say that yes, i am. not to, y'know, brag or anything.

so, yes/no/maybe & why?

I chose the maybe option. I am currently content, but there are some things I need to fix and some things I need to achieve. That being said, I like my situation and I like where I'm going. I'm starting college tomorrow for the first time, love the attitude and atmosphere of the university, can't wait to start classes, and I think I'll really enjoy my major.

Also, how do you define happy? Satisfied? Whole? Joyful? Superficially gratified? There are so many definitions and we probably ought to settle on one.

I honestly don't know, there are things I'm happy about and things I'm unhappy about, but there's no real pattern to how it adds up if it even adds up at all. I can be happy or sad for an hour, but overall across days and weeks there isn't anything

im not going to answer. why? because yesterday i wouldve said yes, and today i will tell you no.

its so fleeting for me, you know? why focus on it when you could just allow it to flow naturally?

I voted maybe, because I think I could be happier, although I have to say I'm pretty happy lately. Of course, I'm tempted to go with everyone else, and say it depends ( it does, really ) but on the overall, I'd say I'm happy.

Ever since I left high school and then went through a pretty bad depressive period, I've had a problem with who I am. I couldn't quite pin it down, but what I could pin, I didn't quite like or could be improved on. I wasn't happy back then.

But lately, with college, I've found myself a passion, sociology, psychology and I've found myself socialising with people I actually found to be interesting. I'm discovering different faces of "me" that I like. And even my weaknesses don't feel as bad.

Of course, despite all the socialising, I feel lonely, because I've never had a successful relationship, hence the maybe. Although I'm quite positive about finding a nice woman in college or out of newfound abilities at meeting people, I'm quite anxious as I have absolute zero experience in actually getting a date and being in a relationship and at my age, and it will only get worse, I think that could be a problem.
So far, all my "interests" end up classifying me as friends OR are already in a relationship. Also, the sex somewhat worries me, but not only that but the part of "being with" worries me, because I'm used to being alone at home...

I'm actually kind of considering giving up on that whole aspect, or at the very least, convince myself I've given up so I can stop thinking about it and just be happy, and if it happens on its own without me even trying then fine. Not sure how that would work out though...

It's when you start thinking about the whole "thinking about the future" concept that you may or may not start reconsidering... :phear:

Nope, I'm not happy right now. Just trying to ward off a panic attack. Don't think about it...

I can be happy there times. Let's call the general feeling of no feeling content. It's a better feeling than anxious.

panic attacks are no fun. Hopefully just sleep it off and feel better in the morning

Happy... no.

But at least I'm not suicidal at present.

You think you're happy and you are happy, that's what you're happy for.

(I'm not happy.)
