I always wonder whether there’s anyone on this planet who is truly truly happy and has no issues

[somerandomguy123]

I'd like to say I'm attractive, I tend to get a fair share of attention from women, I have a lot of friends, amazing amazing parents, a situation ship with a really attractive and kind girl, I got accepted into the top 8 university in the world for economics. I know from what people have told me that they are jealous of me in some aspects - yet I have never wanted to CTB more than I do now. Every time I wake up and wish I could experience that empty nothingness feeling of being asleep again. This made me wonder that when I see someone who looks like they have everything going for them and they are happy, whether it's really true. Because I see someone who looks like they have everything going for them and they are really happy then I think, what if it's like with me? Is there anyone who genuinely walks around with not a single concern? When I look at people I assume there are, but then people have told me they think that's how I appear to be.

I doubt anyone is truly happy on this prison planet of suffering.
Rich and so - called successful people get bored and depressed just like the rest of us I guess.
I wonder if this is why a lot of them become alcoholics and drug addicts ?

I'd say that's an absurd concept. Though I believe one can be truly happy, there will always be issues even if they're minor. True happiness does not equate to perfection. I think it's a matter of perspective. People with a more positive outlook will easily perceive the good over the bad and vice versa for the contrary. It's hard for people with a negative outlook to believe it's true because what they know to be reality is what reality is for them. We can't ever live in someone else's shoes and see that different experience is first-hand.

Happiness doesn't even exist to me, I don't get how anyone could ever wish to exist, existence is a burden and there is no safety from suffering in this hellish world. But in my case I would always prefer to not exist, only nothingness is desirable.

There are definitely people who have what you have and are happy. There are definitely people who have what you have and are miserable and suicidal to the point of carrying it out. Countless cases. People don't tend to broadcast their struggles especially if they have seemingly blissful lives. We should always be careful about making assumptions.

Some people will just boil it all down to depression in cases like yours. Whether that is accurate or not in your case have you ever sought treatment, someone to talk to?

I dont think any human could be happy all the time, there will always be stuff happening that would cause some kind of sadness. But I believe that those not struggeling as much have a higher degree of tolerance to life events. I believe if a human is 60-70% happy. That is very good. If it starts going down to 30-20% I believe then it's maybe a sign that something needs to change or help maybe needed.

no one is ever 100% happy with no issues, it's completely impossible. there's always gonna be something giving you problems.
in our society, happiness is often artificial. we obtain superficial bliss with drugs, alcohol, sex, medication etc. but nothing really gets rid of problems forever.

I've just turned 18 and couldn't really afford it and wouldn't want to tell my mum. I don't really believe in therapy idk

I don't remember where I heard it but it went something like this.
"No matter where you look in the world, there's not much to enjoy – it's full of suffering and pain. And if by some chance you escape that, boredom is just waiting around every corner."

I do believe in the existence of truly happy people. In fact, i think atleast half of the western population is like that.
Sure, they get sad when their relative dies, or when they lose their job.
But these kind of people don't ever seem to be like really bothered about those things and get over it in a week.

It reminds me of my school days when a lot of people complained about how school really sucks, yet they go there everyday, laugh with their friends, study well and get good grades.

For me, school really sucked, just like they said, but and when i say that, i actually mean that.
I skipped from school a lot, i felt constantly anxious and irritated. I didn't study and got bad grades.
And eventually when vocational / high school didn't work out, i dropped out, because it sucked.

Maybe your universiity has mental health resources. You're not a minor so they shouldn't disclose it to your family. Maybe you will find university life will somehow improve your mental state.

Brain = problems
Being alive = stress , working, getting bored, always wanting more, never being truly happy with what we got, trying to do stuff to impress friends ans family (lolll stupid) etc.

Nothingness = peace forever

I've always wondered what it's like to just be naturally happy, or at least naturally content as your default state. The only time I've ever felt content is when I'm inebriated lol.

I've been told I'm attractive by both men and women, but my social anxiety and low self-esteem is so bad that it doesn't really matter. I've always looked at people who come from wealth, never have to worry about money, have their college tuition and apartment/living situation paid for, and often have family connections to get them jobs after college, and thought surely they must be happy because they have nothing to worry about. They have enough money to even make themselves attractive if they wanted, so that shouldn't factor in. But that's not the case - mental illness doesn't discriminate

I disagree with the common mantra of 'rich people also get depressed', rich people who suicided always had a long list of tragedies that happened to them before they got wealthy. Bennington with his troubled life prior to being wealthy, Williams due to his disease. If you're wealthy and had a normal upbringing you will not kill yourself. This is my opinion.

I don't believe happiness can exist outside of a secure financial life, it is a prerequisite - even if some rich people are depressed due to their past.

Happiness is a lie we convince ourselves is true so that the crushing weight of how hard life is doesn't drag every last one of us down prematurely
