gonzalesna 0 #30 October 31, 2007 at work I'm probably only about 30-40% happy. Outside of work that probably jumps up to about 60%. All values vary dependent upon the day and what each day entails. Some days may be closer to 100%, others sit right around 0%.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #32 October 31, 2007 I can relate to the unhappiness at work. I had a job that I was practically in tears most of the time. Needless to say, I no longer work there. Now, I've started a semi-business of my own. Not making any huge profits....yet. But the people where I am are GREAT! As a profit booster, I make/sell doggie balloons (or other various balloon creations). I make them right on the spot for little kids. Nothing is more wonderful than the smile on a little child who is watching in amazement as the balloon "shapes" before their eyes. Sometimes, I take the end of the balloon and tickle their noses. They giggle. Makes every non-profitable moment worthwhile! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

sharimcm 0 #34 October 31, 2007 At work, I come across as a total bitch, but then again, I do collections, so yeah, I can see how I can make people unhappy. But just because I am a bitch to them doesn't mean I'm not personally happy. I love my job, and when I'm working I would say happiness level is 75% give or take. At home, I come across as a total bitch, but then again, I am. Depending on circumstances, I am usually about 90% happy at home. If I'm out doing something and I enjoy the company I am with, it's about 100% satisfaction. Yeah, I'm happy.

happythoughts 0 #47 November 3, 2007 I have a good test for such things. There are clinically depressed people who have chemical imbalances. Most people aren't. An acquaintance sat down next to me a while ago and said that they were depressed. I asked, "What about?" "You have a good job, good health, you are free to spend your time doing what you wish, you are out here among friends, you are skydiving today... what are you unhappy about?" Most people don't have a reason to be unhappy, they just haven't realized it. I ask, "what about?". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #48 February 24, 2008 Been considering this question again.... Different people do have different levels of "happy". . . in fact it has been stated to me that "not unhappy" is the same to some as "happy" is to others (which I have a hard time agreeing with) Why are some people "happy" and others not so much? Genetics? Chemical? Trauma/loss? Can a "not unhappy" person become "happy"? Is it truly a matter of changing the way you think? Can someone else make that person "happy"? What does make people "happy"? Money? Adventure? Comfort? Self goals? Others opinions? Are YOU happy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC07 0 #50 February 24, 2008 I'd say I'm happy about 50% of the time. I think back to when I was actively skydiving. I was probably happy abou 75% - 80% of the time. Is it ridiculous to think that my overall happiness is influenced that much by skydiving? Since I started skydiving at 19, I've matured quite a bit (I still have some more to go ). I wonder, if I started jumping again, would I be a happier person? Man, I wish I hadn't sold all my gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
