Who here is Happy in life so far?

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

I... am not happy with life right now.

 

But will I change? Yes.

 

So far, despite the problems and troubles I'm going through, the future looks great for me.

 

I'll be going to college, doing something other than staying at my parents, make new friends, get a job, and so much more!

 

Life may not be on my side right now, but I have a feeling that will change soon. 

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

No,not really,i'm a 14 yr old loser whose only purpose in life is to be a joke!

 

Not to mention,my life is the same thing everyday,and it gets boring!

 

I want an exciting life, like all the great villains!

 

I want to become a villain!

 

Back on topic here,i don't see my life really changing.

 

So,nope,i am not happy in life!

 

Although being a brony does make me a bit happy,it still doesn't distract me of

how much of a loser i am!

[MLPForums Phanact 1,374]

I know I've already given my two cents in this thread but I'd just like to add a little bit more.

 

As of about an hour ago, an entire chapter of my life has been shut. I was the assistant owner of a gaming community and I decided that after having allegations made about me and general harassment due to the fact I am a brony that enough was enough and that I was leaving. I have been called a "selfish bastard" for leaving and many members have expressed that they have "lost respect" for me. I've lost some of the closest friends I've ever had and a project which I worked on for 7 months has been lost to me.

 

I am still happy right now. I had some of the greatest friends and I had a great time and memories are what matter. I will make new friends and have more good times. I'm not a religious person but all I can think of right now is that "when God closes one door, he opens another." I know that more doors will open for me in the future and I am thankful everyday that what I just spoke about is one of the worst problems in my life.

 

I want everyone to be happy and I will always do what I can to make people happy. <3

 

Thanks for reading,

Kaz.

I am not really happy, only a tad depressed really. I've had quite a few deaths in my family the past 4 or 5 years. But I'm not struck in guilt that I live because MLP made me happier about it.

I'd like to think I'm pretty happy with life. That does not mean there are no days of sadness, nights of anxiety, or even that life has been good to me. I need to be contempt with what life has give me. When life gives you lemons, hey free food.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,345]

I would say I'm pretty happy. My life could be better, but it could also be worse. Luckily, I've got many friends to talk to - both online and in real life. Last winter was a little hard for me, but I think things are looking up.

[MarbellaLotus 17]

I wasn't happy a year ago.  Well, I was happy but I had some serious issues with my adopted mother (not letting go watch a movie at 7 pm, trying to isolate me from friends) but since I moved out, I've never been happier.  I'm one happy very lucky person.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Yes, I'm happy. I have absolutely zero faith in the future of humanity, so I try to enjoy every day as much as I can. The intentions of the people running this world seem to be malicious, so I'm going to have fun before they ruin it. 

 

So yeah, I'm happy in life so far. I'll try to enjoy life as much as I can. I'm going to smile smile smile!

I'm not happy, on the contrary I'm quite depressed. My best friend, the only person I could talk to about personal stuff is gone. He left because me and other friends messed around with him as we messed around with everyone.

 

Everyone got "taunted" or had the mick taken out of then but it wasn't meant to be taken abusively.

 

Unfortunately my best friend overreacted and took it abusively and due to this he is no longer a part of my community and I've lost my best friend and many other people lost a friend.

 

I only wish he could see it from our point of view and see how stupid he's being. Everyone had things said e.g. One guy was Irish, we took the mick. Another guy didn't know what a chode was and someone tricked him into saying he had one. We took the mick out of it. Another was christian and we made a joke saying he's jewish and goes to barbeque's with other jews. Myself? People said I was a child molester -.- We all took these things as a joke (Excluding the christian) but my best friend overreacted and saw it as us being offensive and bullying him. Why? I don't know, as he took part in the taunting of others. With him, we took the mick because he watched MLP etc. 

 

He wasn't singled out, we all took the mick out of each other and in my eyes it was our way of showing each other that we are friends and are close enough to have a laugh and joke about these things because we know no one means it offensively. Again unfortunately my best friend didn't see it in this way and left the community. He deleted me and I'm now extremely upset as he was my one best friend and the only friend I felt I could talk to about anything. Now he's gone and I'm not sure what will happen. I only wish he could understand it from our perspective and come back :'(

 

Point being, life isn't fair and so I can't always have what I wish. I'm hoping he'll realise he's being stupid and come back. My hopes aren't high though :/

 

Thanks for reading, means a lot

Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what's inside. There may be plenty of awful candies in there, but there sure are a few really tasty ones. I've had my fair share of both, though I believe that, luckily, I've came across mostly good chocolates until now. But even if I did get a lot of bad ones, I'd still be happy. Simply because I'm grateful for receiving that box of chocolate in the first place.

 

So yes, I'm really happy with my life... and now I'm also hungry.

I'm in no particular situation to be happy and tell you life gets better in a sudden surge of greatness and it's great fun times. That simply isn't true. What i can tell you is if you are strong and hang on to what you love and enjoy in life, it will gradually start to improve as you do.

 

 Really it's a balance between two things. Time and the want and drive to improve and make life better. Without one, the other cannot function. If you sit on your ass and wait, life will certainly not improve. If you go out for one day and see hundreds of people and interact with the community, but don't do it at some consistent level, it won't improve either. You have to go out and think positively and leave your comfort zone, on a regular basis. And with time it will improve. 

 

Nothing improves over time, without and outside force pushing and striving for it to.

 

Also, self deprecation is one of the best ways to make things worse. Trust me on that one, i have been and still am in the same position as you. Better thoughts means you feel better, and it's not an easy task to think consciously about yourself. You dont want to (Atleast that's how i feel.) But it helps in the long run, i promise.

 

If you want you can PM me if you want some more help. I would be more than happy to give any insight or knowledge i have on the subject if you really wanted it.

I'm very happy at the moment. I'm in the middle of a summer job as an educational assistant and will be giving a presentation to the rest of the university about my job. Even though studying for MCAT's been stressful, I've seen the progress I've made and I'm feeling good about my prospects. In just 5 weeks I raised my score from a 24 to a 34. At one point, one of my practice tests resulted in a 36 that could have been a 38 if it weren't for some silly miscircling (the real test is computer based.)

[Cactus 155]

Yes.

 

I live in a first-world country. I have food. I have clean water. I have a roof. Of course I am happy. There are many people who have much less. I am fortunate to have been raised in the upper middle-class. 

[Zygen 6,066]

Well I can be happy or sad randomly different days, but overall my life is going pretty well, it could always be worse, of course theres always stuff that could make it better.

 

But overall i'm pretty lucky and happy with life I guess generally.

[DaReaper 1,945]

I'm always happy no reason to get depressed about anything, i dont have the best life but i make the most out of what i do have and for people feeling depressed or suicidal i made this post http://mlpforums.com/topic/68255-remember-you-are-not-alone/

[Rough Pathway 157]

Look at my username. Yeah, I'm happy, but its been a rough pathway to get there. I used to be depressed, and used to feel sorry for myself, but mlp and a few other things helped me realize that feeling sorry for myself isn't going to get me anywhere. So since then, I've been working on making my life better. Because of that, I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. I still have bad days, but thats to be expected.

[SCS 7,537]

I am most certainly happy in life. I do have my fears, worries, and such - we all do. But I've learned how to not allow them to overwhelm me as easily as they used to. I used to be depressed last year, but eventually I was able to come out of it by learning how to focus on the positive. Focusing on negative emotions and ideas only amplifies them, exacerbating any existing problems until they become far worse than they ever were originally. Focusing on the positive allows you to logically analyze the negative, due to the clarity that arises from choosing to not let the unhappy aspects of life make you forget how many happy aspects there are.

[Lunas Husband 2,777]

Well I was having a good day, then I try and do one rant people get all butt hurt over it, and think I'm yelling or something which is funny! but now its locked and a lot of ponies are happy about this so I know there should be some more ponies posting on here soon! but ah its life shit happens. So I'm kind of happy I'll get over it in the next 2mins or so and I'll be right as rain

[Toa of Ponies 259]

Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Sure I get the occasional "Bad day" but who doesn't. Ultimately, I just have an average, nerdy Life and I'm happy with it.

[Eureka 1,119]

My life's alright I guess.

 

It could be better though.

 

I go through my troubles every once in a while but they're sorted out usually.

 

So I guess I'm happy in life so far.

[Taviscratch 453]

I've gotta say, the majority of my life has been pretty miserable but currently I'm the happiest I've ever been. Life is great and I love it. I just have to hope people get a move on with transhumanism so I can enjoy life for as long as possible 

[HungryTroll 137]

Yep. I love my life. It's going exactly the way I want it to go, and yes despite there some obstacles on my way right now, I know that I'll overcome them.

[MotoBrony 77]

I'd say I like my life a lot. Plenty of friends, a steady yet modest cash flow to fund my hobbies/interests, no real enemies or people that strongly dislike me. Life is good.

[Ghost 173]

  I'm happy with my life and where things are going.  I feel like things are getting a little better every year and I'm excited to see what will happen next.  Things don't always go according to planned and there are rougher times every so often, but eventually the situation improves.  I'm not as shy as I used to be and my social anxiety is significantly lower than it was in the past.  I feel comfortable with who I am now and I'm starting to pursue my interests more actively, which is making life more fun, not that I wasn't enjoying it before though.  I also have a more positive outlook than I used to have, which really does help. 

[Legulus 45]

I'd say that I hate my life. It's just so empty and boring. There isn't anything that really offers some colour to it.

 

And at the same time, I'm not happy myself. I am not sad either. I am somewhat apathetic towards matters. Still, I hope to one day get out of this rut and I'll keep going with the flow until that happens~
