Happiness

HigherThanTheSun · 2013-06-30T19:07:46-04:00

Read a recent article on the BBC about happiness which I found interesting, talking about the things which correlate most with being happy and how there's a fair bit people can do to make themselves happier. Studies collated by the database say you tend to be happier if you: Are in a long-term relationship Are actively engaged in politics Are active in work and in your free time Go out for dinner Have close friendships (though happiness does not increase with the number of friends you have) And there are some surprising findings: People who drink in moderation are happier than people who don't drink at all. Men tend to be happier in a society where women enjoy greater equality. Being considered good looking increases men's happiness more than it does women's. You tend to be happier if you think you're good looking, rather than if you actually, objectively speaking, are. Having children lowers your happiness levels, but your happiness increases when they grow up and leave home. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23097143 I know people have talked about this sort of thing before but I thought it would be cool to have a thread about it. Post about how happy or sad you are with life and what you think will make you happier, because that's what life's all about right, being happy?

I can't tell. I'm not very in touch with my emotions.
