The Unhappy Thread

[Shorts]

Drinking =/= true happiness for most. But it's fun, and sometimes you just want some of the silliness that comes with you and your friends being drunk dorks playing video games/watching movies/ect

Not that I think anyone here was HONESTLY suggesting it's a key to happiness.

 

[Luigitoilet]

yeah, like I said, it leads to many fun situations and I don't necessarily discourage it

 

[Jasou]

Well, happiness is not always the same for everyone Masq. I mean there are general things that a lot of people enjoy for a short amount of time but that won't always lead you to long lasting happiness. (eating, sex, etc.)

I personally find happiness from video games(not the most healthy source of happiness) and friends. I still have bad things happen to me, but I try not to dwell on them too much. It always makes me really happy to know that I know people who like me for the way I am and I really enjoy socializing/spending time with them. However, this is just what personally makes me really happy and it could be a different story for you. People enjoy a lot of different things and you just don't know what makes you happy yet. I have a good feeling that you'll be able to figure it out eventually. We can even help you if you want it but you may need to describe some things you enjoy or if there's a source of constant unhappiness.


If that doesn't really help you, you probably should just try new things such as finding hobbies. Some people live doing their favorite hobbies.

I wish I could enjoy alcohol. Overactive liver metabolizes alcohol too quickly for me to enjoy a buzz.

I'd recommend not trying to expect things outside of you to make you happy. Even if you are successful, it is by chance, and it is tentative, for life circumstances change constantly; a lot of the time your life will be like a high that you'll drop from and rise to in a flux. You need to be content with existence "a priori". Granted, this is generally a tall order, and not many people really know how to do it, and even those who do can't do it perfectly. More specifically, I refer to myself. Learning to be content with yourself comes from understanding that expecting these artificial ideas we make up and then take for granted aren't real. Living through life assuming right, wrong, love, happiness, suffering, etc. are all out there as real things is like going out in the world and trying to shove a circle in a square slot of a shape-sorter for children (an analogy I use a lot). Just try to fulfill your dreams and get what you want and don't try and reflect too much on what you're doing, contentment will just come naturally. Negative and empty existential suffering comes only from inflating reality with pessimism, confusion, etc. As a human who learns and evolves better than any other animal, we create these ideas from our experiences, and with them we can do great things and achieve greater happiness than simpler animals can who compulsively live only in the moment and in complete focus on reality. But who is to say we can't take the gifts of being a human and look at them through the eyes of the lesser animals? Couldn't we cut the bull**** and just enjoy the good stuff? That's my theory on the subject, take from it what you will.

Drink faster?

 

[Reizilla]

You're already happy, you just have to believe it.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Naw, man. Hiccups.

The only time I've managed a buzz or a drunk was after a handle of vodka in less than an hour.

I have vids/witnesses for those who don't believe me.

I don't plan on drinking or smoking or doing drugs at all in my life and I'm still happy and stuff :U

But I guess it really depends on the person.
What do you like doing?

 

[Lore]

Ok guys, let's start steering away from alcohol talk.

 

[Pachinkosam]

Werekill got this.

 

[Pyra]

Let's talk about something stupider then.

I can't look up images of TF2 without coming across that stupid art made by the TF2 fandom of teenage girls from tumblr.

The art being NSFW. And featuring the cast of the game.

It infuriates me that they think that it's funny to ruin people's fun in regards to the game by doing things like that, but I guess it's just another internet niche.

I know, and it makes me want to stab a hipster.

 

[Pachinkosam]

Why so negative.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

We aren't all hipsters
Hipsters are starting to become a minority because nerdy, socially awkward teenage girls.

looooooooool

 

[Lore]

But then those nerdy, socially awkward teenage girls act like hipsters, lol.

Two things I'm unhappy about (Even if they're extremely minor)

THING NUMBER ONE: God Bless America, the film.

I don't have many things I would consider taboo to me. Pretty much nothing could make me go "Wow, turning this off immediately". There is one exception however, and this is, shooting babies with shotguns. I was in shock. Not offended, just disgusted. Movies should be allowed to potray anything they want, just, really? REALLY? Yucky.

THING NUMBER TWO Charlie Mcdonnel (Charlieissocoollike) has a girlfriend.

I was hoping he was in love with me.

I live in Portland Oregon, home of the hipsters. It's more ridiculous than Seattle, which I know to be true because I visit my boyfriend there and SEE the difference. Seattle DOES have a lot of rave kids though.

 

[Teran]

Wait you were hoping someone was in love with you even though you have a boyfriend?

OH MAN YOU LIVE IN PORTLAND?!
Oh man.
That is hilarious.

Im assuming youve heard of the wonder that is Portlandia then? :'D

 

[Rubyiris]

I want to stab hipsters for creating a negative image for liking obscure things.

lol, the worst part is, those are all only slightly over the top version of real people. I LOVE the bookstore girls. So Portland.

 

[Teran]

Yeah I'll give you that one.

I still drool over Tom Daley LOL

 

[Luigitoilet]

I don't want to stab anyone

 

[Pyra]

I don't want to stab anyone

That's a good way of thinking, Man.
Don't be like me and angered by stupid people easily.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

That's scary, Shortie xD Wooooow

There's no vendetta against liking obscure things. We are just angry because many of the hipsters are jerks.
Making a big deal about liking obscure things just makes you a special snowflake.
It's like me saying "HEY IM A GIRL AND I LIKE GAMES THAT MAKES ME SPECIAL"

No.
Not at all.

AND SPEAKING OF THAT
Something that makes me unhappy is that "gurl gamurz" get to talk about how much they LOOOOOVE "zelda" because "he is hot" and they playyy sooo many games like COD and call of duty and modern warfare (wut), while boys and girls alike when I was a kid got bullied by those same girls for liking games. How does that make any sense?
Gaming is 50/50. Meanies.

 

[Teran]

Gaming is become semi fashionable now so those same skanks are riding the same bandwagon that gives them social acceptance just like they ride the **** that gives them the most money.

:D

 

[Froggy]

You have to look inward and find out what you want in your life. General unhappiness usually stems from desire. What do you desire and how do you begin to make changes to yourself to achieve that desire? If you don't know what you want for your future, don't stress about it. What are your more immediate desires? As long as they don't hurt other people, follow them.
.

It's been a while since I've ready anything that has resonated with me this much. I've been very unhappy at times lately, and it stems from my powerlessness and not having what I want. It never really occurred to me that I'm wasting my time trying to find new hobbies and befriend people. I'm too poor for all the bills I will have and that sucks. When I first got this job my handler told me that if I did well there was a potential for a raise here. What's more is that from what I can tell when I'm performing my best(almost never) I'm the fastest worker here. Up till now I've been too lazy and unmotivated to try and go after this raise, but I'm not happy and this raise is a way for me to fix that. Even better is that they are starting me and only me on a new project next week. All I have to do is **** it ****ing hard, and I can show this company my worth. It's the perfect opportunity. Instead of sitting around upset and hoping I win the lottery, I realize now that I actually have some control over how good my life is.

And I'm finding that you sir post some of the best things in this thread.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Teran, you're a butthead.

That realization has made me unhappy today.

A lot of hipsters are annoying because it's "so uncool that it's cool" and honestly how do you NOT want to feed them to alligators or something? >_>

And I agree about the girl gamers thing. I posted that on facebook and got chastised by a hyper-feminist teenager saying I was being sexist. :s

And religiously Call of Duty games don't make you a gamer. It makes you annoying. It's okay if you like the series, but talking about how you can TOTALLY GET A 360 NO SCOPE HEADSHOT ON NOOBS ACROSS THE MAP GOML GOML is really... really... REALLY... obnoxious.

blah blah blah. I'll get out of here with my crotchety hate rants.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Basically!!!!!
Gurl gamurz ruin gaming :<

 

[Teran]

I remmeber this time when I was like 5'2" and Call of Duty was actually good.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

And then they recycled all assets from MW2 for 3....including the lackluster textures.
And gameplay got a little generic.

.....and it wasn't as awesome as before.

CoD4 was fun. That was the last one I remember actually playing. Only played Zombies in Blops

lol, you got me. Honestly Teran, you can't complain about videogames being just decent, especially when you consider "using your imagination" the best tool when playing a videogame. Although this sort of Pokemon lore we have been creating for some time now, is pretty amazing. I just don't think it's enough to make PKMN Gen I a better game.

Gen V > Gen I

Always and forever.

And the best tool when playing a videogame is engagement. See using your imagination actually engages you, but it need not be the only way.

Medicore/bad/boring stories do not engage you. Cliché ridden everything does not engage you.

Well, it engages YOU, obviously, but then well... you're a bimbo we've already discussed this.

I don't really rank the Generations in order except for Gen V being slightly less engaging to me and Gen III only being saved by the greatness of Colosseum and XD.

But there we are, you obviously see something in Gen V that I don't, happy for you brotherjackdude.

Actually.

I'm not.

Die.
