    Happiness is definitely better than misery.

    I've been miserable lately due to COVID. For the most part I am a very social person but the lockdown has sort of made me depressed. We can't do what we want and everyone is wearing a mask. The California fires are depressing as the state is burning down and I am very frustrated. Then you have people calling me to pay bills but we can't work and we have a crap governor. So I believe I am in a state of depression.

    Lockdown is messing up with everyone and especially kids. Kids are social creatures and they can't go to school which leads to a lot of depression. They tell us to wear our mask and shut up. People need to revolt.

    The thing is IMO, happiness is not a state anyone can sustain naturally. We’re not wired to be feeling bliss and contentment at all times. If you find yourself in that position your circumstances are extremely fortunate.

    The thing that keeps people going is motivation. If youre motivated by/for something, you’ll achieve progress goals along the way and that should bring periodic moments of happiness. Which is generally the best we can hope for.

    You absolutely can train yourself to be in a positive mind state for the vast majority of your life...it is a difficult thing to master though, takes meditation, calmness, and advanced coping skills, ridding yourself of any negative surroundings, etc...I'm not there yet but working toward it. I know people who are seemingly always 'upbeat' and positive...and I know people who are always negative twats.

    Most people think that happiness is something that happens to you, but it's not...it's a choice. We choose to positive or negative.

    I am not the type to depend on anybody. People are not under any obligation to behave a certain way around me. I also cut myself plenty of slack.

    I am happy.

    Yes, life is going well for me right now

    But I was suffering from severe depression & anxiety for the better part of the last decade and was around 250 pounds at one point and I never left my home. But I am in a way better place now
