Are you....

I'm really happy with my life at the moment.

I'm doing well in 6th form, got a decent part-time job, got a driving tet booked, going to Peru for a month in summer and then going to university next year. :)
 
Unless there are serious issues in your life most of being happy is about your outlook.

I have a great life, a life other people would kill to have but I'm my own worst enemy and often spoil it for myself. I go though highs and lows, some weeks I'm happy and care free and want for nothing other times I question what the hell I'm doing and where my life is going.

But nothing different is happening it's all down to whats going on in my head.
 
Over the last few years I have become increasingly unhappy with how my life is and where its heading, but I have recently realised that to change it for the better my outlook on everything needs to change. I am very fortunate with how my life has gone/going. Ie I have a decent job, fantastic parents etc, but no matter how good something is, it never lives up to my expectations. My problem is that im a complete perfectionist. Ive always had such high goals in life, that whenever they don't materialise I get dissapointed. I am now slowly starting to learn to be happy with what I have. At the moment im just happy tying this post, while listening to 'Everybody's got to learn sometime' by Beck. :)

Edit; As you said cleanbluesky, happyness is all in your head.

The same look on things as me at the moment, we will get there in the end ;) .
 
Not happy:

Personally wise
Spending way too much time near pc and being bored, no GF either

Job&career wise:
Yes, School is going fien and i have work.
 
Not really, but it's getting better. I've been suffering from depression for the past 4 years, I've had medication, seen a psychiatrist...etc, nothing really helped, but now finally I'm starting to feel like I'm getting better.
 
I should be pretty happy. I have a supportive home, lots of opportunities at Uni and some good friends. I'm not generally unhappy but I'm also a perfectionist who makes small issues seem bigger than they deserve to be.
 
I'm pretty happy most of the time, but I'm having some big changes coming and I'm looking forward to that, like going travelling this september :cool: to Japan.
 
god if any of you are under 18 and feeling unhappy/depressed take a step back and slap yourself.

What makes 1 man happy doesn't make the next happy, you dont have to have the car the mortgage the swimming pool to be happy. Too much pressure pur on people to "be happy" work hard to make another man rich and spend all you earn on stuff you make to "make you happy"

LOL i know how you feel mate, im like that.

I think the love of a good woman would certainly make me a lot happier.
 
I'm gonna go for my private pilot license next year once I am professionally qualified.

Just now I'm learning Muay Thai boxing and hope to have a fight on an organised bill by the end of the year.

I try to offset boredom by working towards fun and often slightly dangerous goals but my lovely wife will say she doesn't give me any time to get bored anyway.
 
I'm happy, I've not acheived much in monetary or career terms, but as I've matured I find those things mean less and less.

It helps, but a relationship also gives you something else to question and worry about. You can never win...
 
Not even closwe to being happy but I refuse to waste another year treading water. One way or another Im going to kick ass this year!
 
Nope I'm not happy with where I am, but I'm happy with where I'm going...

In the last 7 months I've dumped my gf, quit my job, and scrapped my old car...

I've since started a new job, which is hard just now, but in the long term I will love.

I have a new car, which I love.

All I need now is a nice new gf, but tbh, I'm pretty picky after the last one so I won't be rushing off with the first girl I meet.
 
I'm a pretty passive person, at 24 I still havent really figured out what I want to do... I've been in this job for about 4 years, simply because its easy... I used to come in at whatever time I wanted, wander around chatting to people and take as many breaks as i wanted, though the past year its been a little stricter, I've been demoted to browsing websites and playing with rubber dart guns all day, and sometimes singing to myself.

Its not a rewarding 'job' nor does it pay much, but I dont need more money, I have everything I want and I'm of the opinion that the more you earn the more you spend, its a ludicrous cycle, if I earned 2x as much I would jsut end up buying stuff 2x as expensive and wanting the stuff 2x as expensive as that. I spare myself the desire to earn more just because I can. When I find something that I really want to do when I want to do it I will... Until then i'm pretty much happy...

When I meed that person and I want to have kids then theres a reason to earn more etc, theres a reason to put in some effort, because, again that will make me happy :)

My piece of advice is just to do what YOU want to do. If you dont know what you want to do then do something thats easy and that you can finish work, go home and forget about.
