On a scale ranging from 0 to 10 how happy are you ?

Asked by Hibernate (9091points) June 5th, 2011

The scale :
0 – only a bit happy
10 – happiest from your neighborhood

Not necessarily happy from owning X houses / cars etc OR having a lot of friends to whom you can spend all your time.
It can be happiness from helping someone with a small thing [ handing a handkerchief or things like this ] OR from receiving a mail from someone you haven’t seen in a long time OR you smile all the time because you are still living etc etc
Or from hearing a song or watching a movie etc etc

You get the drill… anything can go here.

So… how happy are you ?

I’m a 8 .. I got plenty or reasons to be happy.
Though sometimes the things from my life take the happiness away from me because I let it…

I have a lot of reasons to be happy and am very grateful for them. A certain couple issues are churning in the background that I don’t dwell on that could take me down if I let them.

I’m about a 6. I have a lot of things that are lurking out there that could erode happiness. I’m not letting them, but am focusing on my immediate sphere. I find that saying nice things to others helps me feel better.

I recommend taking one of the tests here:

I’m about 8.5 out of 10.

I’d say I have maintained an 8–10 for years, but, right now, this last few weeks I have hit a rough patch emotionally.
Some relationship awakenings, the death of a close friend a few months ago and my kitty is terminally ill.
It is a rare as I am usually posessed of an optimistic nature, but, I have been feeling rather bereft of caring lately.
I am ‘owning’ my emotions and accepting I am having a bit of a pity party right now due to the stress factor.

This too shall pass.

10+. I am in summer school repeating my Icelandic course that I failed. My mother is abroad doing her studies. She’s happy, my step father is happy. I am happy. There’s not much to worry about.

AshLeigh's avatar

Right now… I think I’d be like -10.
Usually like a five.

I’m a 4…maybe a 5 today. I got the “back to work” blues. LOL

cookieman's avatar

I think about this a lot. I can never tell if I’m “happy”. I’m not sure I believe in the concept. I’d say I’m more content than anything. I don’t really know.

If I had to pick a number I’d say 5.

SoupDragon's avatar

I’ll go for 9.

mazingerz88's avatar

6 but now I’m 8 after you asked. It cheered me up for some reason. : )

Ajulutsikael's avatar

Maybe a 3. There is a lot of crap going on in my life and the things that make me happiest are far from me.

MilkyWay's avatar

A 4 or 5.

Assassin_15's avatar

Normally an 8 or 9 but stuff has been going on this past year that have brought it down to a 2 or 1. Right now… I’m a 9 maybe 9.5 =))

Dr_Lawrence's avatar

My happiness varies from day to day usually in the range from 6 to 9.

TexasDude's avatar

2 at the moment. Typically a 7 or 8

TexasDude's avatar

@queenie, silly girl stuff. I’m just being extremely emo.

MilkyWay's avatar

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Aw, I’m sure you’ll get over it ;)

Hibernate's avatar

Thanks for replies ^^

Dr_Lawrence's avatar

Way below normal today. Maybe a 4.

smilingheart1's avatar

@hibernate…....smile all the time because you are still living etc etc
that is so cute!!! Well, first I would say that I am a 7 but I should be higher if I didn’t let my fetish for letting people “off the hook” all the time get in the way. People give me a sob story and I knowinlgy sucker for it. Come and get me on line lurvers!!! just kidding!

Only138's avatar

4….sometimes a 5. When I’m wasted…9.

Hibernate's avatar

@smilingheart1 believe me I smile. I have enough reasons to smile even if the life ain’t going to swell.
