Was chatting to a mate* today, he said he's just bored with where he's at, not necessarily unhappy but not get-out-of-bed-and-embrace-this-fine-day happy. Got me thinking...
Where are you on the happiness 1-10 scale? 1 = suicidal, 10 = noting could be better.
*not a 'friend'
Prob an 8? 😀
about a 7. on the one hand, losing job, don't like job or career anyway, but can't affor to do anytthing else at the moment. need to sell house and buy a larger one, thats not going well.
but on the other hand wife is pregnant with our first kid, and we couldn't be happier!
I would say about a 5...
but I don't think sobriety is a natural state for a human being...

Depends on my mood. I frigging hate working, although my actual job isn't that bad, if that makes sense. I mean going to work day to day is ok if a little boring.. but when I start thinking of the whole world of stuff out there I get a bit sad...

molgrips - I came to the same conclusion a long time ago. despite having been out of work for a while now the thought of going back to work, while good, is also tarnished with the thought of that very same world that's still out there.
Interesting.
Probably a 5
6.5
Overall probably a 4
Some parts of my life are fine but others are not in a good place 🙁
7-8ish, bit worried about future employment and can't wait for longer, drier and warmer days but all in all life is pretty good just now.
a big fat 10 for me!
4?
should be higher, i'm at uni, i've got some money (compared to the average student) and i should come out with a 2:1
however, feeling the strain of a dissertation which is going too slow (well, so my adviser says), and i've no definite job prospects. my course is getting me down, not enjoying it.
all i'm thinking of is leaving uni, i can't wait. all i want to do once i've left is ride my bike for the summer, then travel and volunteer, following the summer sun.
june can't come soon enough.
Im happy that I am getting better
6 probably. Working for myself is better in that I dont have a boss etc... But I also have bugger all money at the moment. Riding is ok, I'm enjoying the fun side of things, but my fitness is bad. I cant wait for summer.
I'm about a 9 I think.
When riding or surfing, 8/10 especially if in good company. 4/10 most of the rest of the time.
This is the source of most of my problems.
A grand 9, and that's only because I believe there is some more to squeeze out of life, so a 10 now would be peaking too soon 🙂 I guess it's all subjective, reading some of the aspects of life on here that seem to make folk unhappy, I consider these things a positive to me.
4 - No work on, driving test on friday and family illnesses. I am bored of my boredom currently.
Hopefully up to an 8 in March/April tho.
Comfortable 8, nothing euphoric going on just very good feelings, none of the stress or risk that generally goes hand in glove with those 10 moments either. I could go off on another sensation seeking adventure but experience tells me I'm not going to find anything better, just different. This is good; I'll stick with it.
Meh, maybe 4 on a good day.
Two months ago I'd have said a 2
Now I'd say an 8
What's changed? Dunno really - my outlook for sure, but what triggered it to I really don't know.
I'm planning to embrace the good times whilst they are here 🙂
8.8
have a pretty positive laidback life, wouldn't want to score too high as that would mean I've pretty nearly peaked already and I'm happy to indulge myself more
"This one goes up to eleven"
Nah - call it an eight. Though 8 miles into a muddy 20 mile night ride after 2 and a bit hours last night probably a little lower. Remembering that I was out on a muddy night ride brought it up a bit though.
2. I know I'm not happy because the little things REALLY BUG ME!!!
probably @ around 7 due to health issues and no spare wonga!
A big fat sodding 2. Maybe a 4 tomorrow if I'm lucky. Fingers crossed.
I pretty much oscillate from 1 - 10 on a minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day basis...
10 when i am out riding 😉
lol GavGas : i think everyone is a 10 when out riding...
a year ago i was prob a 2.1 but now things look considerably better... i have become a stronger person mentaly (i think /hope)...
8.5 really. Apart from lack of work, money and health which could all be better, everything else is BRILLIANT.
8 at the moment. Hate the idea of leaving Glasgow in September. Have a great life, beautiful girldfriend and all my hopes and dreams in the city but there are always new things in new places.
Different parts of my life have different scores.
I'm happy enough for today
Minus 10?
Happy but happier if I wasn't at work 😉
2 or 3..... saw pictures of the inside of my hip today, looked like the surface of the moon, apparently its supposed to be smooth.... 35 years old and can hardly walk and cant ride.....
I think if I scored less than 5 I'd do something about it.
4 to 5. Boring work and I can't see where else there is to go at the moment, need more pay for a bigger house as the lack of space is driving me nuts as well... ho hum, could be worse though..gotta change something this year.
I'd go for a 8 at the moment. No job since december but that means riding more than ever, never been this fit and looking forward to the race season starting soon. About the only improvements i could make are getting an SO a finding some way to earn money without really working.
Edukator - MemberI think if I scored less than 5 I'd do something about it.
Find a cure for MS and you can have all I have
about 8 at the present
been down to 1 a couple of times in the past, but hopefully never again.
Enjoy my job, happily married, two lovely daughters, cellar full of expensive bicycles, stupidly fast 600cc sports bike in the garage, life ain't bad at all. So probably 8-9 most of the time, but frequent bouts of probably 2, very occasionally 1, due to sh!t I'm sort of conscious of and really should sort out.
Yes 😀
