i wouldn't consider myself happy, but i wouldnt say that im depressed either. i think being shy, or having social phobia, not sure which one i have, is the only thing that is keeping me from being completely happy.

Einstein once said that what matters in life is whether you wake up in the morning and see the world as a friendly place or as a hostile place.
For me, it depends on the morning... but I can't help and think that if I were more outgoing I would see the world as more friendly. I'm still searching for happiness, as we all are, but I don't know if I'll ever find it precisely. I still don't know what it means to be a happy person as opposed to happy one day and then depressed the next. Perhaps it must come from within... that's what I've been thinking... that you're not going to get it from someone or something else before you yourself are complete... now how to do that?

Its impossible to be happy all the time. I don't think even all people without SA are happy really. everyone in this life has some burden to carry, something they have to deal with.
If I start thinking too much and analizing my life and my unfulfilled dreams, etc.... then I get bloody depressed.... and I'm tired of going down that road.
so I'm kind of learning to look at the positive things and to not over-think and analyse everything. when I do that I do have moments of happiness.
I also have moments of happiness with my husband. when I think about how lucky I am to have him, when we're sitting there and just laughing about silly things, etc.....
I feel like its my choice, if I want to be happy or not. If I choose to be depressed I can easily achieve that by starting to think too much and look at the negative things and how lonely I feel.... I know clinical depression is not a choice. so I guess I got over my clinical depression cuz right now I feel I have the power to choose how I feel. I can choose to sit in the sofa, stare at the wall, think of all the things I haven't achieved and cry my eyes out.
ok, right now I'm getting really self conscious about what I'm writing and I'm close to deleting everything but I will be brave and post my feelings and thoughts anyway..... :?

I am farily content. I am slowly moving on with my life. I wouldn't say that everyday I say the world is a nice place as opposed to a hostile one. But I can say it fairly often.
Is it just my or are really happy peopel really annoying? When people just skate through life it makes me hate them. You can't truely know what the world is about if you haven't lived through pain. So when I know that people are happy but at one time they weren't I am fine with it. But for people to be happy because their life is just the best thing ever then I can't stand it.
I was watching a George Carlin comedy show on HBO the other day. He was talking about things that people say on an everyday basis that don't make sense or are just stupid.
He was talking about the saying "I'm fine and dandy" He said I have been fine before and I have been dandy but never at the same time. Well I think maybe once for an hour but then it went away. I just thought was funny. :lol:

I am happy most of the time, altho my anxiety tends to over shadow any good feelings most of the time. I know I'm very lucky in my life I have alot going for me and feeling sad and sorry for myself won't achieve anything :wink:

I think it's safer to expect the worse, from the world and people.
you can never be too jaded...
if people think you're a loser and a fool, so much the better.

Wierd . . . . i'm often very alone, and left out, yet even at school while i might sit in the back corner alone, i could still make a grin or chuckle at funny moments, so i guess i'm overall happy yeah. I often think the only reason i'm happy is beacuse i have a really great hobbie though, great as in one i idolise and think about 24/7, as well as do.

i feel less anxious in my home...i love being lockedin the house
but if the door knocks or the phone rings grrrrrrr how dare they intrude on my solitude isolation :lol: my heart faces and i freeze i hate that part of being inthe house.
i ignore the door and phone and just pray they go away and leave me alone
im happy when the world leaves me alone
That was me this time last year,hiding makes things worse. Just answer the door thats easy once you do it a few times.
I still cant do the phone though, I did yesterday but it was horrible. My voice kept changing pitch every word I said like I was gonna cry.
Oh and back on topic, I would say I am happy 1 1/2 days a week and the rest is a nightmare.
