Hi,

I wonder how satisfied you are with life.

What things make you happy about life and what not, what would you like to change in your life?

For me;

Im Satisfied with:

The fact that I go to a vocal trainer every monday, at least one activity a week, i need something to do...or i get crazy... the internet lover i have (hopefully it will stay), my friend in town who lives 5 minutes away by bike, my sweet grandparents, my cats who always sleep in my bed *lol* and yeah thats all.

Im Unsatisfied with:

That I dont have a school, no job, not many friends, parents who dont get me that well, stuck in the house, almost 22 and afraid of getting older, depressed everyday and feeling STUCK in life.

Id like to change:

I want to find a new school to start with in september (really hope i can find one!!!), get more friends, meet my internet lover this year, make more youtube videos, find a new hobby, go to toastmasters

now your turn guys

Satisfied: Nothing.
Unsatisfied: Relationship, My job, My appearance, My inner self, My financial situation...
I'd Like to Change: The way I feel about myself.

My life is pretty much going in the exact direction than I was trying to direct it, so right now I'm satisfied. In fact, telling myself "isn't life fantastic?" isn't uncommon, when some years ago I just wanted to lie down and die, so it's a good improvement. It's been a while since the last disaster *knocking on wood compulsively*. I'm not really good at my job, but it's only a temporary situation, so I don't worry too much about it.

Edit: Ok, I still think I'm one ugly creature and I don't even think about trying to date someone, I avoid my friends because I think relationships are too complicated, but for some reason I don't care being alone. I'm... pretty sure it's not sane, but what the hell.

I don't want to use the word satisfied. If my life remained as it is -- same job, same home, same routine -- I suppose I would be content. I'm happy, over-all.

But there's a lot more I want to do, in every aspect of my life. So, no, I guess I'm not really satisfied.

Im Satisfied with:

I don't have any debts. I've done some traveling. I'm bright enough to have interesting things to say from time to time. I got my scuba diver's license. I have a nest egg. I have potential and dreams and goals. I think I know what I want out of life, and my expectations are growing more realistic and overall I think I will be happy.

Im Unsatisfied with:

I'm online way way way too much. I don't have anyone nearby to visit. I'm unemployed and really don't know if what I'm doing now will lead to employment. I don't have enough money. I can't really go out in public without feeling extremely nervous and panicked. I procrastinate way way way too much.

Id like to change:

I'd like to get away from the computer more often, and have more discipline and be more focused... cut down on my inessential online time. Meet my online friend in real life. Buy an island. Live like a pioneer.

That's a good question. I guess I am....kindof?! There's a lot I'm really proud of and thankful for. If I really think about it I'm lucky to even be alive, especially in this day and age and in a prosperous nation too. So I know I should be very satisfied, and often I am.....but in truth, I don't always feel satisfied.

Right now I feel unsatisfied that I'm 31 and my life hasn't worked out the way I'd hoped. I'm still consistently making art and I'm really proud of that, but it hasn't reached the standard I had hoped yet, and it hasn't really taken me anywhere. Nobody's been interested in it much. I felt I was destined for great things, but it seems so did a lot of people and there's only so much room at the top. I'm not even sure where the "top" is nowadays. But I won't give up hope.

I'm also unsatisfied that I'm still having social problems. I still have this yearning for connection that I never seem to even come close to satisfying. I can't tell whether it's just greed and envy and I should be more grateful for the relationships I do have, or whether it's my spirit calling me like it does for food or water. How can you tell if you're starved of connection, or just greedy for more? What's the right amount? If I am undernourished socially, it then means I'll have to venture through my tangle of fears and issues in search of some connection and that's going to be so hard and unpleasant, so that's unsatisfying to me.

There's some things that I'm happy about but however there's still things that continue to haunt me and bring me down. My anxiety still continues to eat me alive and I have a hard time trying to talk to people and sometimes I feel like I can't relate with anyone anymore, cause I feel completely different from everyone else.

It depresses me when people treat you differently just cause you're bi-polar, this truly does make me sad. They think I can just wake up and not be sad anymore, but my moods change through out the day so often that it drives me crazy. There's a few things in my life that I'm truly happy that I have and I'm fully grateful for them; but there's still 50 percent of things that still continue to bring me down. My life isn't all that great, but my life isn't so bad either; it's in between. Sometimes I'll be up, other times I'll be so down in the dumps that I won't want to talk to anyone or do anything. It's truly frustrating! Errr! Sorry I just needed to get this out. :kickingmyself:

No I am not really satisfied with my life. i have not done a lot of thing compared to some friends. But i guess staying positive and looking forward to the future is the way to go. Being negative doesnt bring anything good.

I don't know, I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm grateful for many things: I have a loving and supportive family and some wonderful friends. I think I have some talents, even though I tend to be very critical of myself. I go to a great school and I have a good job as well. But there are also a lot of things I'm not satisfied with ... I've never been in a relationship, I've never traveled outside the US, I haven't really accomplished that much; anxiety has held me back in many situations. I try to accept that these things will happen at some point, although it can definitely be frustrating waiting for things to change.

Other than wishing I had a job I was passionate about,I'm satisfied with life overall. I'm 31,healthy,I have a pretty house,an amazing husband,money in the bank,very little debt,etc. What's to be sad about or dissatisfied about? Life is tough but it's also great.
