Updates to this post /post/203313-do-you-think-happyness-is-a-choice Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:14:26 +0100 Reply from Smily /post/203313-do-you-think-happyness-is-a-choice#reply-4466753 mojgh, you have said everything (to a T) that has made me question myself too. the reason y i became curious about others view on happyness. i try to ignore my feelings though- i dont know about you- but i find a joke everyday, if i have time, and i continually tell myself i am fine and happy. No matter what is going on in my life. i believe it is the power of the mind. Though i do not think i am genuenly happy i can pretend and it makes the people around me happy and its just a circle. i know thats confusing i hope you understand what i am saying. but anywho, i would just do everything in my power to convince myself im happy….even to the point of making my user name smily…lol
i hope things get better for you and im here if you want to talk about what is going on in your life. just give me a shout or reply back to this post. my best o wishes

I am not happy right now. So many things are going on in my life that makes me unhappy and unsatisfied at the same time. But sometimes I think that I choose to be unhappy and passive and all this sh… (Excuse my language) I don’t know why? Maybe my goals and expectations have been set too high or I am genetically fragile and fall into depression and unhappiness easily. My Mom is a very worried and anxious person and I think I am growing to become her eventually.

So my idea that happiness guides choices rather than being a choice isn’t always true, but sometimes it is.

If it was just a choice I would feel happy. I do not want to be miserable!

Yeah kinda…but there are times we can’t control ourselves like that…

And it’s more like…it’s convenient to be happy always?

I’ve heard of people born without the ability to feel pain and they generally lose limbs and get into accidents until they die.

excluding the kidnapping
you could always pretend your in a beautiful and happy place allowing the joy to flow through you even in the most horrid situation

I mean:
Kidnap
Meal with her FATHER (lol)
Broken leg
