All of those things make me happier. Maybe they can make you happier as well.
:-D

But what can really help, is if you talk to us. Why aren’t you happy anymore?

Great suggestions Dot. It is important to remember that happiness is something that you create for yourself, not something that is giving to you. I think you should try all the suggestions Dot has given you and then report back to us how you feel. :)

Describe the life you want to us.

What does happiness look like?

Look sweetheart, you’re still young. Life can get down sometimes, but it will always get better. Don’t forget that once you hit rock bottom, the only way you can go is up. Are you going to college? Are you going to work?

Its the simple things in life that make people happy. Even just talking now, and getting everything off your chest can make you feel LOADS better.

And as far as attraction, I know some people who are gorgeous, but don’t see that in themselves. Confidence can play a HUGE role in people’s happiness.

I think Maxi wants to know what it is that makes you happy… Am I right?

You can’t have something unless you can first visulize it. It looks like lost of things. If you can’t see it, you will have a hard time obtaining it.

Sort of, I also want to know what types of situations he/she can visualize himself/herself happy in.

If you don’t know what will make you happy, we can’t help you. Only you know what your happiness looks like? Too often people think happiness is a destination or something someone gives them, it is something you create for yourself.

Ok, that is better. So what kind of things can you start doing to make that happen. Are you going to school? Have you ever thought about volunteering for a good cause in your community? It is a great way to make friends and feel good about yourself.

What are you studying?

Try to get into a sport, Im in a softball league and every time i step onto the field i forget about my problems. Even if your not a great player its still so much fun and if your not into softball theres baseball, football, etc. As far as you thinking your ugly its not true man, i use to think the same thing but as i got a little older minding im only 22 but when i was in hs i could not get a gf i didnt have confidence but as i got a few years older i was able to catch a girls eye. You have to carry yourself in a way that shows you have confidence.

I’m having the same problem as you. But what I do is try to help more people (you can become a volunteer somewhere). (: I enjoy that. :D Try exercising and getting involved in some sports that you like. Keep on searching for your talent. There must be something that you’re really good at, just that you’ve yet to discover it. Don’t think about yourself being ugly and stuff. Your inner beauty will lead you further.

List down what you want. Decide on a plan how you’re going to get it. Like, the courses or what you need to attend to get a certain better job, etc.

I hope things work out for you soon and you’ll be happy. (: *hugs*
