Are you happy?

[teen.jpg]

Why or why not? It's a simple question, but it can have all kinds of answers.

[Luminous]

That's a good question. A simple question with a complicated answer. My answer is all over the place.
I'm happy in many ways, but I'm not in many other ways.
I'm going to say yes because I think happiness can be* a choice.

*I have found I can force myself to pick my head up and plaster a smile on my face. Sometimes it's fake happiness, sometimes it becomes real. It doesn't work for everyone, unless you want it to.

[Beats]

I dunno, it's like I'm happy sometimes. But then I get hit with a ton of shit. I don't really see myself being ALWAYS happy. I don't think anyoune can ever be truly happy. I think that would be kinda like Nirvana or something.

But in general, yeah, I'm happy. c:

[Croconaw]

I honestly don't know. I'm still trying to figure myself out. I am happy in a few ways, but it was all temporary. :(

[Vocabulous]

no. i havent been honestly happy in months

[Elysium]

No, and it's really nobody's fault but my own. There is no reason; it just is.

I should clarify; I am happy with my family, my friends, my school, my personality (for the most part), where I live, my pets, etc. I have days where everything seems silly and I see the world for what it is, but all too often I have days like today. The fact that I have days like today more often than happy ones leads me to believe that no, I am not overall happy and I'm not yet ready to or capable of changing that.

[kylem]

most times yeah. but with puberty its makes things way more confusing, like sex, girls, wanting to try sex and stuff, trying to fit in. somedays are like better then others. my best days are when i'm riding my quad and dirt bike listening to country music on my iphone!!

[conniption]

I'm very happy :) My life isn't perfect and I'll sometimes fall into a rut, but I always push myself to move forward.

[SawyerSauce]

I'm not happy.

[PinkFloyd]

I'm happy because I have a great life with my family in a much too safe suburb of Minneapolis.

I am unhappy because I can't help those less fortunate than me due to my age and location.

I think overall I'm happy though.

[Magenta]

No. Why? Who cares? My misery is not anyone's to compare with nor is it something I feel the need to justify anymore.

(Sorry if this comes off as defensive, it's not meant that way. It's simply a fact.)

[Axw_JD]

very few times...

Like right now I am seriously thinking why I haven't killed myself already... so I Would have to say no, I am not happy..

[teen.jpg]

To answer my own question, I'm both happy and not happy at the same time, for the same reason; I have nothing. Just .... nothing. There's nothing to me. In some ways it's blissful, and some ways it's miserable.

As of right now it's pretty good. I wouldn't call it happy, but just okay.

[Lovelife090994]

To be honest I am not happy but I should be. I try telling people and my mom and they say how I should be happy but they never listen. Are you happy? Good question, tough answer. I usually plaster on a smile but it's fake and I rarely laugh sincerely.

[roadwarrior]

I am happy

[Versae]

I'm neutral. I'm happy but not that happy.

[Ifxzzy]

I'm only happy when I buy something other than that I'm never happy I want to buy more stuff to make me happy I need help :')

[1_21Guns]

I consider myself to be happy now yes, I don't take any low points as a sign I'm not happy because on the whole I am happy, I'm in a good place now and my demons aren't going to hold me back any more.

[Mynick]

Overall in not happy. I'm usually depressed or sad or something like that. Woulda coulda shoulda it doesn't matter. But i do have small moments when im happy.

[Caerulus]

If I'd been asked this a couple days ago I would've said yes.
But no, haha, I'm not happy atm.

[Gumleaf]

No, i'm not happy. My demons are living in me and won't leave. I'm all alone, i'm not happy.

[justin 13]

Im happy 2day and I cried yesterday. LOL Im happy cuz my coach told me Im good at soccer.

[Saint of Sinners]

To me, happiness is rather dependent on what I understand it as. And my definition of happiness changes often.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

A little bit.

[Poisonberry]

I'm very happy, just picked up a pair of Miu Miu boots. Sooo cute!

[ksdnfkfr]

Most of the time I'd say I'm apathetic. Like life just doesn't have that much appeal. Lots of times things can be really great or really lousy and I just don't give a crap one way or the other.

[Xavier2]

Been rather unhappy tbh.

[Synyster Shadows]

I don't know :/

[teen.jpg]

To answer this again; I'm happy now. Just wish I could get these damn concert tickets ._.

[Desuetude]

Overall? Sure I'd say I'm happy as the short answer. I mean, I can get out of bed in the morning and I will smile throughout my day so it's not so bad. Sure my life isn't perfect I still have to deal with shit like bullying, a broken home, pressure to get good grades but that's stuff that everyone has to deal with and really I need to start getting over it.

[CharlieHorse]

No.
I feel like I am trapped inside myself, and I keep putting myself down. I try so hard to make myself unhappy because I deserve it. I want to be happy so much, but I don't want myself to feel anything good because I'm a fuck up, a loser, a waste of space. I don't want anyone to love me, even though I want to find love more than I want to live.

[Abyssal Echo]

I'm not happy or sad ehh describes it better.

[Poisonberry]

If these are the best days of our lives I feel very bad for some of you. I guess I didn't fully realize the nature of this board when I joined. I mean, sure I have my off days but some of you are so into self-loathing it's scary. I hope those of you feeling so bad are getting help. Life is so much fun I can't imagine what it must be like to have to drag yourself through it each day.

I'm thinking in RL I'm probably the perky girl you all hate and that's kinda sad because there's really nothing wrong with being happy.

[Greg1994]

Generally not, I'm still not very sure why not...

[Special K]

I am happy and have realized life is meant to be hard and stressful.

[Jean Poutine]

As a pig in shit, bro.

[Derryck]

No, im pretty hated around here. But I WILL change that!

[kylem1229]

Usually yes. However....I HATE SCHOOL. But its life and i have to deal with it

[bigboyj1]

yes im very happy
