Should you be here if your happy ??
Question:
I’m asking because I am happy at the moment. Everything is cool. Work is better, I feel very happy and content. Last week I went out with my female friend to see War of the Worlds. I had such a great time. I felt so comfortable and relaxed. I feel there is nothing to stop me going out with a real girlfriend and having a good time. Yet I come on here. The thing is I can’t go 2 or 3 days without coming on here and having a quick read. The question is : Should I (or any other happy person) still read this newsgroup ?

I find the negativity of certain posters to be especially draining at times (and sometimes I have to abstain from reading their posts* or stay away for a while, so while I don’t believe one "shouldn’t" come back here, it might be beneficial for you to stay away at times. *While any attacks on my character or whatever have no effect on my self image etc., I can become very dejected when I notice how lost some people here are. – Michaela

I don’t see any problem with it, as long as coming here doesn’t rob you of that happiness.

Yes, so long as reading it doesn’t depress you.

Reading this group tends to get me down, unless I’m already down, in which case it doesn’t have much effect; the reason being that as long as I’m able to ignore my loneliness and lack of a girlfriend, I’m able to lead a relatively bearable (I won’t say happy) life. But as soon as I start dwelling on the utterly miserable state of my social life, my happiness takes a steep plunge. Example – yesterday I was driving home in relatively high spirits, when I heard those two guys in the radio making fun of guys who never get dates. Boom. My buyoant mood totally collapsed, and remained low for the entire evening. Others’ mileage may vary.

One day I began to notice how I’d be in a really good/bad mood and big/small things seemed to just pass me by, but maybe suddenly a really small/big stupid/insignificant/mammoth event would become the centre of my attention and I’d give it the power to hi-jack my mood. And then I knew that there was something else going on. Isn’t it perhaps better to keep my power and make my own decisions on how I’m going to react/respond? Choice. – Michaela

Yeah, why not?. Alcoholics attend weekly AA meetings even years after they’ve been rehabilitated. And there’s always something new to learn…if we could learn something here. Anyways if you’ve been here for a while, you’d end up missing us like it happened to me.
