On a scale of 1/10, how happy are you? And how happy do the people around you think you are?
Right now, 1. And the people around me know it. But that's because I have depression. Normally its not so bad, but i'm going through a temporary bad spike. doesnt usually last more than a couple days, but its clear im unhappy during this time.
I, personally, would say I'm about 3/10. People around me think I am the most happy, level headed, contented person, so I'd probably say 10/10, although I know a couple of people kinda know that everything isn't perfect, so for them I'd probably say 8/10
Not even drug addicts are always happy. I think people usually live in a constant state of happy/sadness flux. To truly feel happy, you need to accept your feeling of sadness too. If you are not willing to be sad, you can't feel happy either. For example, a clinically depressed person isn't actually sad. They are emotionally flat-lined and only experience a little sadness or happiness. My happiness scale would fluctuate between 1 and 10 regularly. I grief my son's disability one moment and overjoy about his new achievement right after. I used to be depressed and I couldn't process my grief nor could I enjoy his growth, and I have lost out on some beautiful moments and experiences as a parent. I think people think I fluctuate between 3-8, because I am not an expressive individual, but I am not afraid to let my feelings be shown.
I am happy to be alive, I have my family together, and health. But school and the lack of going out makes me upset at times.
I'm a 4.5/10, and I would think people think I'm a 8/10. I don't like to show any sign that I'm miserable because people don't generally care.
I'm around a 6/10, but people seem to think I'm a 1/10. I don't smile very much, so people assume I'm unhappy.
I have very few friends, but the ones I have are really cool. I'm a foreveralone guy, but that's a lot better than settling for someone. I have a crappy job, but I work with cool people and I might be getting a promotion at the end of the year. College dropout, but it allowed me to explore a part of the country I had never been to, and perhaps go to a better college and meet more people.
I recently quit doing all drugs, started working out/exercising, started playing my instruments again, started reading books again, been meditating everyday and playing the sport that I love again. I had to give up some of my druggie friends because I don't trust myself to hang with them right now but I love myself now so it doesn't really matter what I am doing. I finally found methods to deal with my procrastination and anxiety and became unstuck out of this rut I was in for the past two years.
I think part of it is due to my personality. I am an optimist so when the rough times come I know that it's only a matter of time till they end. For me, the other part is being grateful. I have many wonderful things in my life and I do my best to remember that every day. If you can take a moment and count your "blessings" things tend to seem less bleak even in the darkest times.
