    I am happy today.
    Thank you for asking. People generally don't ask about my welfare.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    Happy and content are two different things though. Happiness is fleeting. I'm happy right now because I'd a great night and morning with my man and I'm in love (barf!)! I could be in a right grump in about an hour though..

    I'd say I'm fairly content overall although there's massive room for change.

    My unhappiness is also fleeting and always circumstantial (thank goodness). I'd say I get in a self-pitying grump more than anything else and I'm better at snapping myself out of it as I get older...

    I'm happy, in general.

    I have a good job which I'm doing well at. I have no financial troubles, which I'm endlessly grateful for, considering the times we're in. I have some great friends.

    I'd like to have a girlfriend and a better social life but those are things I am somewhat in control of so I can't complain at the moment.

    At least you see that's what they are trying to do, once you cop on to it it's a lot harder for them.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    Im actually pretty damn happy at the moment amazingly. No sarcasam, yeah ive been fairly happy for a while.

    Knowing my luck i'l get knocked down by a car, have a heart attack & get hit by lightning the minute i walk out of the house in a while. All because i admitted im happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭bb1234567


    why do polls always have atari jaguar as an option? what is it, i googled it up and nothing came up:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    No i'm not happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,239 ✭✭✭KittyeeTrix


    Happy enough!!!

    Family all in good health, roof over our heads, not starving or living in desperate poverty, kids almost reared, coming to the end of my degree with a job more or less lined up for next year:)

    Could be worse, a lot worse!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Yeah, I'm happy. Some problems in my personal life, and career needs to get back on track. But overall, well I can't complain. Life could be a lot worse I suppose :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    I'm happy right now because I dont have to go to work and I'm going for pints later. Tomorrow I'll be cranky.

    A lot of **** has gone down lately that has made me put this "happiness" thing into perspective. Life is too short not to do what makes you happy. Happiness can be an elusive bastard, but if you can manage contented then I think you're doing well.

    Just be happy you're not with 3.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I'm alive and kicking and have things to look foreward to so yeah,I'm happy.

    I'm desperately unhappy.

    But that's all good, I'm happy with that :)

    I'm very happy. I'm probably the most content I've ever been in my life right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭Randomer.


    The state of happiness is not something I'm consistently feeling every minute of the day no. If its normal to feel this way then I guess I'm not normal.

    Not depressed or anything just not in a constant state of happiness - always been this way.

    Of course I can be in great moods - excited etc. This is different to being always happy though.

    In between but happy most of the time but things happen that be enough to make me unhappy. I'd be happy in general but if someone or something upsets me that could make me unhappy until I get over it and something cheers me up.

    From a woman who's been there done that, travelling alone and single is the greatest thing I've EVER done. Serious fun to be had...if ye get me ;) wink wink Had my heart broken 6 months previous to that and booked it as a kind of a "Fluck you ex!" and had a ball! You'll meet loads of people, you'll have great fun and you'll be too busy to think about him and you'll get him well and truely out of your system...and you've no idea who'll meet or what will happen. If you have the money girl, go for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    Yes, now I am. And generally am.

    Also ...when you hear of some tragedy and disaster like that terrible pile up on the English motorway last night were lifes were snapped out in an instance and people have lost limbs ,it put things into perspective about how precious life is so we must strive in the here and now, to be happy or content ,as much as possible .

    Thailand is not paradise, it isnt as good as everyone says, and some of the locals I met over there defo dont think its paradise.

    And also, how is this guy a prick? How do you know? for all we know, the woman could be a c***, not saying she is, but we dont know the full story. But as per usual the woman gets the sympathy.

    And obviously to answer the op question, i am not happy, and im a woman hater!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Yep, very much. I'm lucky but don't take it for granted.
