Are you happy with yourself and your position in life?

[Otterly]

Hmmmm. Yes and no. I could probably have done a lot more with my life if I hadn’t been retarded when younger. But I guess I’ve learned from mistakes and maybe that’s the point of it all? Maybe this is the best possible outcome.
By position what do you mean? Like status and money and job? I think I could probably have done a lot more there as well, but hindsight is 20/20. Perhaps I’m just not that capable.
Dunno really. I started from a low bar, and I’m stable, married with kids and have a job that pays the bills and a home. That’s not bad, or maybe I could have done a lot more and that’s just cope.
I think I can, at the moment, say that if I dropped dead tomorrow I could face God with a reasonably clean conscience. In terms of morals I think I’m Ok. In terms of world shattering achievements, money, or looks I’m not winning any prizes. Maybe none of that’s important.

I don’t think I’m a particularly happy person, but a lot of that is just how I am combining with the abyss staring back, you know?

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The only thing I'm not happy is my dating life, but started going out regularly with a girl and she seems pretty nice.

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

Overall yes but at the moment no. I got norovirus. It's pretty much over now but sucks a bit if you want my opinion on it.

if its any consolation there are many people who never got achieve what you have. There are so many incels and porn addicts who never got to touch a women in their lives. You have a family and kids that I know you love. Giving children a home is the most you can do with your life it matters more than any money you have since money will not stay after you die.

 

[GunCar Gary]

i’m never happy. happiness leads to complacency. complacency leads to letting your guard down long enough to let the jews living in your walls slither out at night and suck out your life force through you peepee

I could probably have done a lot more with my life if I hadn’t been retarded when younger.

at least you learned enough along the way to realize that younger you was retarded. that’s how i feel every few years and that’s how i know i’m growing as a person. some people never learn that younger them is retarded and get increasingly confused and scared as the world leaves them behind

maybe true happiness is laughing at how you’re retarded, everyone around you is retarded, the world overall is retarded, and then you take a drink and spend time with people who care about you

 

[Otterly]

that’s how i feel every few years

True, true. And I’m aware that in a few years maybe future me will see current me as dumb and retarded too. I kind of wish I could speak to future me for advice

 

[Neighborhood Curmudgeon]

I haven't reached my ideal place in life, but I'm much better off than I used to be. With that said, I accept that my life will never be perfect. All the same, I will keep striving towards my goals, as meager as they are.

 

[Toilet Grenade]

No matter how bad things get for me, at least I'm not a tranny.

Completing the tiniest of goals is like passing a milestone showing you're on the path to where you want to be.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

If I was, would I be posting here?

 

[Overwritten Tapes]

On the grand scale, 6/10.

Compared to the hells that I've crawled out of? 14/10.

It's all in perspective.

 

[Fapcop]

I work every other week but get paid full time, leaving a lot of time for hobbies, self improvement and traveling.

Used to be a journalist, quit to become a drug addict which I still somehow found to be a step upwards in terms of respectability.

Quit the junk and got a job I like. Make decent money.

Yeah, I’m pretty happy.

if its any consolation there are many people who never got achieve what you have. There are so many incels and porn addicts who never got to touch a women in their lives. You have a family and kids that I know you love. Giving children a home is the most you can do with your life it matters more than any money you have since money will not stay after you die.

Yeah, kids are what ultimately matters. And what will give you the most joy in life.

And no, you can’t have it all.

If you ever think you made the wrong choices or that your life isn’t what it could have been, hop up to any dating app and take a look at all the women between say… 37 and 42.

So many of them have multiple academic degrees, “founder”/CIO/senior management jobs, desperately looking for a man. That they’ll likely try to get knocked up by within 6 months of establishing he’s not a total deadbeat.

These women are all posting pics of exotic vacations, guzzling wine, trying to dress like they’re still in their 20ies despite the fact that they already has those crone features in their face.

They’ll never have kids, they’ll never have a family and they desperately try to look ten-fifteen years younger, because they know deep in the back of their mind that they made the wrong choices, and back in the day thought they could have it all.

 

[God of Nothing]

with myself, yeah

position in life, pffffffffffff
no point in dwelling on it
if i do that, then i'd really snap
haven't had a say in it since i was a newborn and nothing's changed but what are you going to do?
sometimes, people draw the shorter-ends of the stick and the only saving grace of yours is that it wasn't the shortest

 

[The Cunting Death]

No and no

But I'd still be posting here even if the answer is yes to both.

 

[Seventh Star]

No, I have no place in this world. No social life, no family, no job, don't drink, don't party, and only half as intelligent as anyone else. Just waiting until the moment it's all over and being happy when it arrives.

 

[MadStan]

I’m happy. It’s OK to be ill-content; work towards its resolution.

 

[melty]

I think I've done pretty well for myself.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

mostly im okay with myself, somethings i would like to improve, which i am slowly working on. my position in life is basically the same, im not in a bad place, but it could be better. i want to be in a better position and im slowly working on it. overall though i am doing a lot better than i was in the past.

Verbatim my response.

 

[Meriasek]

I'm in a pretty good place, working a job I love on a project that has pretty significant potential.
I wished I had travelled a bit more and enjoyed life a bit more when I was younger, but I'm not so old yet that it's all lost.
So all in all, pretty good. I'm happy with where I am and how things worked out so far.

 

[Ravier Xavenblood]

No but it could be a whole lot worse and I'm better off than I was 2 years ago. If the economy really shits the bed I'll be mostly unscathed but socially shit's fucked.
