I got you...yeah being all dressed up always makes me feel better.
Even when you're all dressed up with nowhere to go? If that's the case, go balls to the walls with your dressup every night. But then again, too much of a good thing won't make one happy anymore.

lol..well I only do that if Im going out..or else it's a waste..If no one can see my cute ensembles what's the use?
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
Thank you. I guess it really wasn't fair to say that i'm NOT HAPPY. I'm fine, really. I'm just not EXCITED about anything (outside of Pearl Jam) wow- I really feel pathetic.
Pearl Jam have really lifted me out of some lousy moods in the, oh... two times that I've seen them. But seriously, they kept me on a high for months that couple of times.
Sometimes I think it feels better to feel sad than directionless and empty.
Sometimes I think it feels better to feel sad than directionless and empty.
Being in both situations before I would say that being sad, while it does suck, and hurts more, is easier to deal with once recognized within yourself, so I agree with what you're saying.
Being directionless and empty just sucks, and a lot of frustration can come out from it. And from what I've witnessed, it can turn into anger as well.

Well I guess you really need to get to the root of the problem. Some people just have an emptiness in them that never seems to go away. No matter how many *fixes* they try.
i agree. and this seems to be my case for the most part.
so you have to do little things that make you happy just to get you bye.
im not a very materialistic person, but you would think that i am just from the shit i have that made me "happy" for a short time.
other then that. run a bath, sit in. drink beer, and fart. the bubbles in the tub make you laugh joking of course.
Peace, Love.

so if it's not personal, what made you happy? what made you think that you've got everything that you want and need?
Well over the past four or five years, i've discovered who I am. I think I know myself better than most people my age, and I know what's important to me.
Once I got to that place where I knew who I was...I was happier, but still not happy. Something was always missing. You guys are gonna roll your eyes at me, and I know it sounds cliche, but I was unhappy up until I met my (now) girlfriend. Cliche but very true.
That's what was missing for me. Not saying it's true for everyone. Some people may never find something to "fill the void" as it were.

Peace, Love.

They're just at a complete standstill when they think about an option that would make them a happy person, and have absolutely no clue?
Other than things that would bring temporary happiness due to the situation, like buying something you've wanted. Just in general in life, you're completely confused and frustrated because you can't see anything that'd make you happy?
What do you do?
Kinda similar to that whole, you're with a whole crowd of people you love, that love you, and you still feel comopletely lonely. Nothing would kick that lonliness either.
I feel you on this one, wish I had an clue as well.

For me, I am happiest when I am completely in the present. When I give my entire attention to right now, no matter what I am doing. Averting my gaze from some point in the future......... an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year and giving everything I have to the journey itself, rather than the destination. It isn't always easy, but I just find when I stop thinking about where I am going, I start feeling a lot happier about how I am getting there.
Have you read Ecart Tolle's The New Earth, An Awakeing, it's all about ego and how egoic persons will always be unhappy.
Their is only the present, that's it we just have now.
It's Hard to Imagine!!!
in response to the original question here,
if nothing or no one makes you happy.....you just hang tight cuz your day is coming when someONE or someTHING is gonna bring you back. Exxxpect it. I know this.
~~~~~~ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME~~~~~~

hahahahah that was great...
And to clarify, I was just seeing what ideas anyone had. I'm not currently in this position(although I feel myself slipping towards this position a little more each day).
My best friend has been this way for about a year and a half now and I'm just not sure what to do anymore, and it's killing me on the inside.
He's given up helping himself and would rather lay there until he dies. If I end up helping him, he gets happy for a short while, but then remembers he's supposed to be mad at the world, brings himself back down, realizes I helped him, acts as if he's living off of me, and quits everything.
One example, I got him a job, he loved it..at first, then just flipped out and quit. He said if he didn't know me, he'd never have gotten the job in the first place, so why should he have it now? We argued about that for a long time.
Yes, he's taking the independent stand, but he won't go out and do it himself either. He did agree that the way you can usually get better jobs is by contacts...however he saw me as doing a favor and not acting as a contact.
I've also gotten him into therapy, in which he quit because he found out I was paying the bill somehow when he thought it was just free(she cut me a huge deal). I've gotten him out, to where he met a great girl that was way into him, again flipped out and quit talking to her.
He's currently on a hunger strike and said he'll just sit there til his body deteriorates completely. I just kinda shrugged and said oh well whatever, but it's now been four days so I'm starting to worry about it a bit.
And yes, he needs major help, but he won't take it...he quits everything, or just won't start it, so for right now I guess my main concern is just getting him to eat, and now...where do I begin? Because it's become more major than just finding him a job, or getting him out on the weekends to meet someone.
One thing he keeps asking me to do, is to buy a bunch of drugs, get some girls to go out with us, shoot up and go out with a bang...I'm beginning to think that's a serious offer as well...
So yeah, that's the backstory. As far as me? No, I'm not a happy person completely, yet. But that's my keyword still going for me, yet. I've still got some hope, plus I still know how to have a good time, which keeps me happy part of the time.

I used to describe depression like a big comfortable chair. You know you don't want to be there but you know ir is familar and you are use to being there.
Thank God the chair got peed on and I had to get rid of it.....(haha........)so now it's only the floor for me,

Very true. I just know there's at least a few people at there that get happy to dress up even when they've got nowhere to go.
short leather top with a lace at the front leaving stomach uncovered with low cut tight black jeans with a silver studded belt.

eh..yeah that is just a little sad.
Eh, you said it nicer than I would have, so yes, I agree 100% and we'll end it there.
so you see, there is a difference between sleazy and classy

Hmmm. Getting far too complex for me. I'm out.

Is this like a job type of thing, like what you would like to do in life?
What makes me happy is: anything about eating food, the Yankees, music, and career-wise, helping other people.
