I don’t mean like how happy you are today. I mean overall, are you satisfied with everything you are up until this point? For me, for an example, I have a decent job that keeps my head just above water. I have a loving family that I see every couple months or weeks. I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. But, overall, I’m sort of lonely and exhausted from constantly working. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, I’m about a 6.

    I’m content with my life but can never be happy.

    I’m wary if “happy” people, theyre either deliberately ignorant of the world around them, or dont care. In either case, their sociopaths and/or utter cowards and I’d rather not have anything to do with them.

      That’s a weird way to look at happy people. I feel happy with my life but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care or are ignorant of the world around me. It maybe just means that I recognize that I don’t need to spend energy on things I can’t influence and I can spend that energy on things to make my own life happy.
