silentsound · 23rd May 2009, 02:37 PM

I have been thinking about this question a lot lately. It's rather complex when you get down to it. So, I'm just wondering, would you say that you're happy with who you are/ where you are in your life right now?

littledinosaurs · 23rd May 2009, 02:40 PM

Well currently i'm pissed but i guess in general i am.

Zac4 · 23rd May 2009, 02:40 PM

oh hell no

Z3ni · 23rd May 2009, 02:41 PM

Of Course!!

.........................not

DexterMorgan · 23rd May 2009, 02:43 PM

Not really.

I can't figure out how to lose weight.

Just Adam · 23rd May 2009, 02:56 PM

cant remember when i last felt happy i think im lost behind the false smiles, only time i laugh theres alcahol or im on some stupid meds or summat... nobody tends to put it together though

jazzrawr · 23rd May 2009, 03:01 PM

Generally, yes, I am.

Sorry to change the feel of the thread. XD

23rd May 2009, 03:11 PM

I am up and down like a rollercoaster. So I'm in the emotional grey area

CrystalCat · 23rd May 2009, 03:35 PM

Neutral leaning to no. If i'm under the influence of something i tend to be happy (yea,im another statistic) the few times i'm truly happy, i'm doing art

**Martin** · 23rd May 2009, 03:57 PM

I'm neutral leaning yessss. I have nothing to really be happy about, but considering the amount of shite I faced during childhood I am happy as my life is actually normal at the moment. ^_^

I have the occasional day when I feel crappy, but who doesn't?

23rd May 2009, 03:57 PM

Definitely not. I don't think I've ever been happy as a person, although I can recall certain happy moments in my life.

**Ben** · 23rd May 2009, 04:03 PM

I'm Happy!
Sure things could be better, but whatever. I've got life. That's good enough for me.

Phantasma · 23rd May 2009, 04:09 PM

Yes, I'm happy

I still have things I'd like to change about myself and my life in general.. but I'm happy with the direction things are going.

jsandoval1192 · 23rd May 2009, 04:15 PM

hmm i suppose i'm generally happy for now.
:]

23rd May 2009, 04:26 PM

More often not then yes. But I'm getting medicine soon and it'll be fixed.

LornTehViking · 23rd May 2009, 04:30 PM

Neutral leaning towards yes.
Mostly because that endorphin stuff ... it works.
xD
And I have goals that I actually plan on reaching, which is exciting.

GhostDog · 23rd May 2009, 05:43 PM

Pretty much, yes! I'm finally working towards getting in shape and I'm making good headway, and it's summer! Though I'm still kind of wrestling with my own confusion (haha it's harder when I'm away from campus and, like, people my own age), and I do need to get a job, which is an intimidating prospect the way things are lately. But all things considered I could have it a hell of a lot worse!

**Maddy** · 23rd May 2009, 06:02 PM

Neutral leaning towards yes. I've finally found a place where I feel like I can belong.

Jacobs · 23rd May 2009, 07:02 PM

Timm · 23rd May 2009, 07:10 PM

No, no, no, no, NO!!!
I am thoroughly PISSED!
I hate being in this metaphorical closet!
I hate being alone!
I hate having so-called schoolfriends that I don't trust!
I hate the fact that I live so far away from a very good friend!

I'm so MISERABLE!!!!!!

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I'm feeling a little better.
