No, it's not about drugs. Recently I realized something about myself -- My happiness is not contingent on many things. That is to say, rather, I tend to cling to small things, and use the general things like playing games, spending time with friends, etc, as a general "it's just what I do" thing; it keeps me busy, entertained/whatever. The only thing that really makes me "happy" for the time being, though, is talking to this girl I know. Before that, it was my first girlfriend. As crappy as that relationship turned out, while it lasted, it was my major source of happiness, so I focused on that, and having that as my foundation if you will, things just changed for the better, in every aspect. It turned out very, very problematic when the relationship ended, though; totally swept me off my feet, and then I had to start looking for something else.

I'm wondering whether anyone else here have structured their life like this, or if I'm just very weird like that. Video games, sports, socializing... what's your drug?

Scoring good hits on the firing range is quite fun. In my case, happiness is directly proportional to accuracy, distance and weapon caliber.  :)
Guess that you could extend that onto succeeding in any challenge, such as finishing a difficult video game segment or climbing a mountain.
Horseriding, especially long rides with gallop on the hills is another thing I like to do, especially if the weather is good.
Once upon a time, scoring a great deal on Steam or an auction also seems to make me happy.

Being proved right makes me happy,  :D

Also, finding that I'm better at certain things than certain other people can make me happy/bring a smile to my face.

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.

This post is best post.

Kidding aside, I find myself to be happiest when interacting with the people I'm closest to in a given moment.

Some people are like Slinkies.  They aren't really good or even useful for anything but they always manage to put a little smile on your face when you give them enough of a push down the stairs.

Perhaps it would have been better to put it in quotes.  It is the best line of Conan the Barbarian.

I have a wife.

I daresay you can take that in whatever sense (sweet or sexual) you choose and it'll probably work.

It's the little things really, like having soft, multi-ply toilet paper stocked at work.

  • Hey man. Peace. *Car hits them* Frakking hippies
I've come to terms I won't ever be truly happy. I'll be happy temporarily while socializing during work, or while playing games, but none of it equates any true happiness

I don't crutch myself to something or someone to make me happy. Afterall, what happens when it's removed? You lose the crutch and you fall down the cliff to your utter demise until you find another crutch. I strive to be happy without having something else make me happy. It's not working too good, but at least I don't get derailed if something goes wrong. Shrug it off and continue

"No"
