the only thing that makes me happy in life now is seeing my Daughter and Wife happy.

Everything else can bring me joy for a moment but never true happiness.

Not particularly happy, no, but it's a matter of perspective I guess. There is much I'm grateful for and life could be SO much worse. Ultimately, I have a lot of what I need so it feels ungrateful to complain.

Just want to mention DeafTourette is also a very positive force on this forum

One response is all I needed. At times I'm so happy with my wife. Sometimes I just want to be fucking left alone and doing my own fucking shit with the "MIKE, MIKE, MIKE!!!!!!!!!l"

I lost my dad this year. Happiness comes and goes, just like life itself. Make the most of the time you have doing the things you love, and don't spend too long dwelling on things that make you sad. Live with as few regrets as possible, and try to find some sort of contentment along the way.

Happy? is that some kind of sickness?

Happy is fleeting. Content, yes I am.

One of our times greatest thinkers once said this about happiness

Happiness comes in small doses folks. It's a cigarette butt, or a chocolate chip cookie or a five second orgasm. You come, you smoke the butt you eat the cookie you go to sleep wake up and go back to fucking work the next morning, THAT'S IT! End of fucking list!

Personally I try not to get into the weeds of self fulfillment and profound happiness. I prefer to step back and look at the larger picture and generally try to make an effort not to make life shittier for people I interact with.

But a sunny day, fresh coffee and a tasty breakfast usually does it.

Damn, brother. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm here if you want to vent or anything.

I attempted to kill myself once... I had committed to walking into fast moving traffic but ultimately didn't at the last minute. What saved me is realizing I'd be hurting my family by doing so. My dad, mom and daughter specifically.

Thank you, truly I really appreciate it.

I'm happy you came to that realization in time. I didn't want my mom to feel any of the pain I feel and couldn't do that to her. More recently my unofficial nephews are added to the list of needing me cause to be quite frank, their parents are a horrible and I don't want those two boys lives ruined because of shit parents and they look at me and think of me as their dad now

Fucking sucks though that I'm having to keep going on in this shit show though.

Succinct answers only please

Lonely. Things are too expensive. I watch those around me achieve the things I want to achieve and get the things I desire (own homes, families) and I wonder as I try "what am I doing wrong?"

Don't get me wrong though, I do not wish for their failure or downfall. I want their continued success. I am very happy seeing those I love and admire succeed. I just wonder what's wrong with me sometimes.

Oh well I suppose. Just gotta keep trying. Keep on keepin on I suppose.

I am thankfully. Had some rough patches but you can't be happy if you are never sad. My Mrs of 20 years is great we still get on like a house on fire.

My Parents are very old and I worry about the inevitable and one of my dog's is long term sick, neither of which I can do much about, such is life.
