I don't know if this is something you ever really ask people in RL.

Are you happy?

OP posts:
cocoallure · 19/11/2018 20:18

Yes very Smile

Idontbelieveinthemoon · 19/11/2018 20:19

Right now, no. Generally, yes. Are you happy, OP?

6demandingchildren · 19/11/2018 20:19

I posted a thread earlier saying how happy I am

PrincessDando · 19/11/2018 20:20

Yes, although I can flip from happy to unhappy and back again very quickly.

So I don't really know.

On balance I spose things are alright....

LaurieFairyCake · 19/11/2018 20:20

Very happy. Been happy for 2 years.

WontonSoupForTheSoul · 19/11/2018 20:20

Yup.

Not because of anything particularly amazing in my life, just that things are trotting along nicely in general.

Breakyourselfagainstmystones · 19/11/2018 20:20

Today I'm very happy.

Been working so much lately I feel I've barely seen my dc. I had a rare day off today so I kept my dc off school and we had a sneaky movie duvet day. Absolute heaven snuggled up on the couch, eating crap, watching cheesy films with our Pjs on.

mundaymoaner · 19/11/2018 20:38

superficially yes but truly no.

Echobelly · 19/11/2018 20:41

In general I am, yes. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that I've never felt the need to compare myself to other people. Some of the most miserable people I know seem to be those who always look to compare themselves to others. My philosophy is that people are so different from one another, and we know so little about others' internal lives that I can't see how we can really compare ourselves against each other.

vampirethriller · 19/11/2018 20:42

No, not at all.

Didyeeaye · 19/11/2018 20:44

Not happy at all right now.
I've not long broke up with my long term partner. Feeling very unfulfilled at work. Dont have a good relationship with my family so Im quite lonely.

missmouse101 · 19/11/2018 20:45

Not really. A lot of different difficulties in my life.

BitchQueen90 · 19/11/2018 20:53

Yes.

There are a few things that would make my life easier but in general I'm very happy.

oakpinebeech · 19/11/2018 20:58

Im a worrier and suffer with comparison so I'm never that happy. I wish I was different

MaMisled · 19/11/2018 20:58

I daren't say for fear of jinxing it!

Singlenotsingle · 19/11/2018 21:01

Yes. Happy and contented. I've got a loving dp, a house, children and grandchildren. I'll never be wealthy but you can't have everything.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 19/11/2018 21:13

Hugely. I just watched Heathers with a glass of wine and some pâté on toast. Life is gooooood...

E20mom · 19/11/2018 21:29

Very

halfwitpicker · 19/11/2018 21:30

Meh. Middling.

VenusClapTrap · 19/11/2018 21:35

Yes.

iIcouldsleepforaweek · 19/11/2018 21:42

Yes, truly happy

LaconicIcon · 19/11/2018 21:50

Not one bit.

AndhowcouldIeverrefuse · 19/11/2018 21:52

Generally, yes.

Right now I am so stressed about work that when I saw on the news that a woman had been killed in an accident I thought "now she doesn't have to go to work anymore - imagine the relief". It shocked me.

Flowerfae · 19/11/2018 21:52

Sometimes, something usually comes along to screw that up though
