How Happy Are You?

[lovecrazedkid]

You know, I'm not very happy. And I haven't been feeling very social lately. Generally I'm very outgoing and talkative and funny. But now I just want to be left alone.

Maybe its a phase.

Overall, im pretty happy. There are times when I feel depressed and lonely but I get it over pretty quickly. I'm the kind of person who can't stay sad for too long.

There are a couple of things I have to deal with in the coming months that are really worrying to me, but im going to do my best to stay confident and optimistic. Hopefully, i'll get through it all.

How happy are you guys?

I pretend to be OK.

People see me as being a happy guy. I pretend to be shallow. I laugh, I joke. I have the best one liners. People love me. I have family. But......

I am tortured. I am seriously unhappy; I am alone. Pathetic, eh?
I believe that I am unattractive because I'm getting old.

On JUB, maybe, you're not allowed to say that life is shit. Well, I just did. When you reach your 40s it can be.

So I have gratuitous sex. It's fantastic.

But in the end I am still alone.

I have some money - but it doesn't make me happy. I guess I'd need tens of millions then to make me truly happy. Guess not.

Why did I write this? Fuck knows?

Maybe, I just want to hear that I'm not alone. That life is worth living. Right now, I'm not even sure about that.

I'm Ok. At the Moment I would have to say I'm Very Depressed and Angry. But that is due to the Fact My step-Daughter was Murdered recently and He had yet to go to Trial.

Other than that I'm Fairly happy. I guess. Just wish I had a regular Guy as a Male Partner. AN Open Mind non-judgemental Person to accept my marriage and to join us on the rest of this road called life.

I when thought the mid-life crisi. Bought a car I aways wanted. Dated silly little Boys in Men's bodies.

We have some Money,but that does not buy happiness. It just makes living easier.

Hang In there dude. It will get better.

Hey guys. It DOES get better. (I've been where you are now many a time)
I've learnt to recognise, admit the mood and allow the misery to take me down wherever it's going. I don't fight it and even enjoy it in a perverse sort of a way. The introspection seems to be a catharsis somehow. The only way out though is to start doing stuff for other people again.

ejb I'm sorry about your step daughter. That's an experience outside anything I can imagine. I hope the trial brings you to some sort of resolution

What is it that makes for happiness? I am one of the men of the very older generation and I consider myself to be a very happy person, but I have long realized that my happiness is dependent on many others. I am mindful that I am not alone. I have a loving wife and children and grandchildren at the center of my life.

My long journey into the fullness of my unique sexuality has been a happy journey. All of my former partners, both men and women, are still very dear friends who share with me the memories of deep friendship and love that continued past the time of the wonderful sex we had.

Casual sex is simply not an attractive option to me. In all my relationships the sex, when it happened, came about very naturally and seemed so very right; it was our way of confirming the bond of love that had come to exist between us. Such sex is fantastic and only gets better with each repeat. When I met the person I was willing to bet the rest of my life with and she was similarly willing to bet her life on/with me I married and that happiness continues.

If one pursues the tinsel and firecracker aspects of sex with many casual partners one is likely to miss the gold of sex in a committed relationship. I would wish for every person the happiness that I have known which could not have happened without deep and loving relationship.
