I was smarter, prettier, less paranoid and had some self-esteem. At least I can work on the two last ones.

if you work to improve the last two
you'll probably find that the first two will improve dramatically as well

... I could finally become friends with this person I've wanted to since this school year started. Even the smallest of steps make a difference.

Insert the word synonymous to "cake".
Do you see what's the problem with that statement? It's the words "I would" combined with "right now" followed with the big IF. And anything you wanna add to that sentence will only result in temporary bliss and instant gratification... just as long as whatever meets IF. (don't worry I'm confused myself at this statement) Example: I would be happy right now if I had cheesecake. So if you had cheesecake right now, you will ONLY be happy. Let's say you went to the store and bought yourself a cheesecake and went home and ate it. Now what? After you've had your lovely cheesecake meal RIGHT NOW, is that gonna be enough to make you happy tomorrow? And what about the day after tomorrow? Is your happiness dependent on a particular object to satisfy the present moment?
I've always had a problem with this question. But I'm gonna have to disagree with your post. It's not really you, as a person, that's messed up... perse. It's your thinking. Your thinking is messed up. I mean, every person with a mental illness have thinking patterns so distorted, their mind is just going all over the place... which is why, they can't think straight!
You're thinking there's nothing you can do because you don't want to. You're letting yourself believe that... and of course that ends up being the case. All I'm just saying is that you made a choice not be happy and convincing yourself that you can't. You can. You just have to make it a conscious decision.

Hmm... how much is the percentage of the "most important" thing compared to the first 3 things on your list in order for you to obtain 100% happiness?
(yes, this is a trick question!)
Also, if you were to obtain one of the first three: -I could find a girl to love, would that almost be equal to the "most important" thing? What would be the % of that? Oh and remember, the OP's question includes the words "perfectly" and "right now"... This is the main reason why I refuse to answer it. :

With all respect I don't need a grammar lesson.
No need to complicate the issue.
I'm talking about temporary happiness....Eating ice cream gives me temporary happiness which is better than no happiness at all.

yeah I know. :
: I just wanted to emphasize my point on whether people look at obtaining happiness as a temporary moment or something that'll take great efforts and a long time to achieve. Some of the previous posts listed long term or short terms based on how they've interpret your question. But you're right. Temporary happiness is better than no happiness at all. But I like to analyze these things to death. Makes me... temporarily happy though.

Me?
Actually that's a good one.
Should be on the narcissist thread...
I would be perfectly happy if you would follow all my instructions. Then again maybe a narcissist is never happy.
