86

>>1589946
Anywhere between 20-40 depending on the day. On occassions it's been higher, but the above figure is an average.

33, generously

a billion

69

I'm pretty damn constantly euphoric, but I'd still say only 90 because I consider myself a thinking man.

45

78
I constantly think I shouldnt be this happy, I have a boring life, but I just am. It most b genetic. CANT do nothing about it.

today, being an above average day about 23, though that will bounce back up a bit after i get over my post masturbation depression which I'm currently experiencing

83-96

>>1589966
That sort of thinking wont make it any better, now will it? ;)

my happiness polarizes around 85 and 60

2.

To all the people above 70: you waste your fucking time on 4chan. Get real with yourself.

>>1589969
I know what you mean bro..

>>1589979
lol 4chan makes me happy

you stole this thread from tv

>>>/tv/14790166

and like I said, 50, but I'd be a 120 if I had a gorgeous androgynous IRL waifu

>>1589984
Shit, you're more fucked up than I am.

I don't even know. It's tough, man. I think that the girl I'm in love with feels the same way, but she has a boyfriend.

I've got lots of friends, but she's the only girl for me. Feels bad.

>>1589985
What about a gorgeous androgynous IRL boyfriend?

>>1589974
IT makes me fell happier for a while. But then, itll drop back to being just normal happy again.

If 50 is the average, 1 is catatonic, and 100 is so manic the nurse is slamming a syringe into you I'd say I rest around 25. 99% of my days are probably covered by ranges from ~15 (planning suicide) to 70 (heh, life's pretty good!).

>even attempting to apply a numerical value to a concept as abstract as happiness

You certainly raised my happiness level, OP.

1

>>1590003
get over yourself and join in Truman.

50.

the above is also my face when the majority of people ever cant use rating systems properly and always fucking exaggerate their scores and dont consider the long term when applying them.

I'm just waiting for a tripfag to post in the 90's.

Ha-du-du-du-du-durrrr-urp! I need notoriety given to me by anonymous teenagers on 4chan in order to live my life comfortably! I'm so fucking happy! Ha-durrrrrrr-ur-ur-ur-urp!

>>1590013
Simon Amstell ups my level of happiness.

>>1590019
i am pretty damn happy for the most part, sorry

90. I have internal peace in every day life. The only thing that gets me down is my inability to talk to girls at large parties. I get over it pretty quickly though.

I'm too stupid to be happy, and life is misery for me. but I'll play along.
40. so long as I remain employed and can afford beer and enough gas to drive out to Target to leer at women, I'll keep running up that hill.

>>1590035

I think intelligence negatively correlates with happiness.

>>1589979
4chan is awesome bro. Found a lot of good books, tv shows, movies and music on here. Found good wallpapers for muh comp. Learned a lot about technology and linux and shit. I laugh out loud reading posts on a high frequency.

>>1589981
why is that pour girl all wet?

>>1590038
The lie you tell yourself to ease the fact that you're friendless, poor, and have no talent.

>>1590037
yeah. The more stupid, ignorant and unintelligent you are, the more happy.

Today 73, usually around 85. I've had a flu all week.

>>1590035
Welcome to the average /lit/ user's life.

i hate when the OP fucks up the chance to get some personal info out of these threads and establish patterns.

>>1590033
i hate you.

>>1590039
She's had a great work out, get my drift?

>>1590045
>>1590037
I don't agree with this, and as proof to back up my argument I offer this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqgXzPfAxjo

>>1590045
also the number of friends you have? and ingenuineness

>>1590037
Yes, because the studies show that always and forever a more intelligent person is unhappier than a less intelligent person.

>>1590049
I like pulp, but not seeing how this relates to intellect and unhappiness. Infact it backs up the opposite of your arguement.

The commoner is happy because all he does is smoke and screw, the intelligent greek is unhappy and wants to be part of that common scene.

itt: unhappyfags are jelly of teh happy

>>1589994
what about it? you trynna let me hit it bro?

>>1590052
Social network is a difficult thing to connect to overall happiness and as was said before it's difficult to quantify happiness anyways. It's much easier to quantify actions and we can loosely use this as an indicator for happiness (for example, people in one social group are less likely to commit suicide than those in another social group).

>>1590062
Yes.
Me, you, some wine and some Radiohead on the stereo. Whaddya say?

>>1590059
well maybe I am feeling something different inside when I hear "you never watch your dreams slide right out of view" or "now pretend you've got no money/she just laughed and said your so funny/ well I don't see anyone else here smiling, do you?"

and it's also mentioned that in order to be one of the common people you can't try to stand out or be unique, which is basically the goal of self actualization. and I feel self-actualization is the best chance of having a constant source of happiness.

>>1590049
>you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
>and dance and drink and screw,
>because there's nothing else to do.
but those are the good things in life!

>>1590049

You're forgetting that PULP are really fucking awful.

"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
- Ernest Hemingway,

like 40

it'll be higher once i get out of my small hometown

>>1590075
no those are all masking behaviors, that hide a deeply rooted sense of dissatisfaction and ennui. Happy people aren't screwing and drinking all the time. Their pushing themselves forward to ever increasing challenges that yield progressive rewards. Have you ever been to an AA meeting? It's just sad, man.
and also I do accept you may be speaking ironically here, but remember that never carries well in print.

Usually pretty fucking low. But then I take my medication and excercise and feel a surprising amount better.

>>1590075
I love this picture.

Its accuracy is shocking.

>>1590077
>>1590077
I just have no empathy for the person who makes this assumption.
1) I am intelligent
2) I am unhappy
3) in order to be intelligent, I can not be happy

it's just a tad morbid, don't you agree? Feynman was a smart dude and he comes off as pretty happy too me. Same thing with Neil Degrasse Tyson. And Hawking, and that mofo is cursed.

>>1590084
i thought the irony pretty obvious imo, but maybe that's because I've read plenty of his other posts lmao

Oh well I would consider myself to be between 50 and 75. Was pretty fucked up the last few month, but right now I would consider myself to be pretty happy.

>>1590092

>>1590101
practise what you preach?

>>1590100

Of course I agree it's not impossible, but it's certainly more difficult to find security and happiness if you are intelligent.

>>1590101

Hehe thats pretty much the mentality I have right now and thats what somehow makes me happy. If put up some goals for myself and I am gonna achiev (most) of them.

probably like 67-77

depends on the day really.

>>1590107
"...the use of our intelligence properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy."
-Carl Sagan

what you said was very cynical. Intelligence makes obtaining security easier. Using intelligence you could study engineering and construct a safe room in your house to hide in if Forrest Whitaker tries to kill you.

>>1590123
dude are you describing the average temperature of northern Florida in the spring by any chance?

On average about an 84. Most of the time I'm around the 90 range, but I have occasional dips into the 30s and 40s

average would be about 99 but i have my ups and downs.

Happiness is a delusion, Dionysian pessimism for the win.

25.

3, but I act like a 60.

>>1590106
just stay there
cause i'll be comin over
and while our bloods still young
it's so young
it runs
and we won't stop til it's over
won't stop to surrender

>>1590134
d&e this bro >>1590084
says your weekly activity is a masking activity and you are unhappy with yourself deep down inside.

thoughts?

a solid 80 for sure.

>>1590139
A fancy way of saying "stop liking what I don't like"

how happy?
directly related with how much weed if have
if lots: 40
if none: 0

anywhere in between lots & none could be figured out with some kind of exponential function, as i get close to 0, but never reach it
but you gotta do math or some shit

>>1590147
but partying, steak and chips, and COD with the lads are universal needs right? so that guy is just butthurt and lying about not liking those things?

when will moot remove the name field for /lit/?

51

the happy me is 80, sad me is 40

>>1590159
There's only one thing he likes doing with the lads, and it ain't Black OPs.

>>1590159
>universal needs
>universal
>needs

Those two words mean nothing to a highly developed organism such as myself sorry

>>1590183

I go away to eat and this is what I return to. What is this an episode of Skins? what's with the Christian Bale pictures? Am I on /b/? no wonder I rarely visit.

>>1590184

>>1590184
>doesn't drink water
