Thread: Happiness

I should probably clarify that I wasn't being serious regarding myself. Apathy is what I'm guilty of.

To drag down others with us.

That could be filed under something to live for lol

Go on a diet and work out—people will scoff and question your motives, perhaps even trying to tempt you with takeaways, etc.

Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone. A lot of people aren't like that. However, I can more or less guarantee; if you're trying to change your lifestyle for the better, those who aren't will try to take you down and out. And it can be quite crippling if you're not prepared. That's just common psychology though. There's nothing particularly terrible about people with such discouraging attitudes... it's only human.

It's part of human nature... And is why socialism will never work.

I have this problem a lot...

Except it's not people, it's my brain. And it's not tempting me with takeaways, it's deciding I'm having one.

What's makes it worse, I'm having pizza, even though I don't really like pizza much.

Happiness is basically what summons your own selfcare and how you feel ease in your life.
For that there are a lot of brain stimulation that is answered with something that is equal to good or better in your way of seeing things.
Happiness for me... is to be with the people I love and feel loved.
That is how it works for me.

Yeah, I guess it's the same for me. Just knowing that there's someone out there who gives a damn about you... it's a nice feeling.

Me on my home planet, living without any goals or cares is the ultimate form of happiness.

Personally, I'd define that as boredom. Hell, my goals and cares are what get me out of bed in the morning.

I love to hear words like that Dr.Killjoy, because I myself may reach new perspective points as a result of listening to them.

Having someone to turn to.
Having someone who can turn to me.
Having someone to look up to.
Having someone who looks up to me.

I think it can be doing things which are satisfying you and seeing how your actions affect others, and this will show what you are doing is going to have consequences and also need to see how is your mood and are you enjoying being happy and content. I usually read books like adventure and the one I like is, Animorphs as you have five teenagers three boys and two girls and a centaur creature fighting the parasites and work as a team and work together which gives them confidence and motivation in the battles. It is a good thing to be happy and do things which are going to keep you happy and satisfied as doing things which take time to be happy can just exhaust you in the end and you won't enjoy the fruits of your hard work when the time happens.

For me happiness can be achieved by two things.. Internet and Ipad. As long as I have these two then I won't even mind if I'm staying in a haunted place or not. Heck, I will even skip food when I'm so engrossed watching or playing on my Ipad.
