Never needing to work again and actually having energy to do things would probably do the trick.
We can be friends
It helps, but then you have to supplant your own meaning life, or one can very quickly spiral into doing nothing and becoming depressed. Capitalism sucks, but work doesn’t; it gives us direction and purpose.
My friend, I assume, and I find plenty of meaning in accomplishing simple tasks and finding interesting ways to express ourselves. No labor needed. Only little rabbit holes to constantly fall into.
Edit: btw I don’t approve of all the downvotes you got. A lot of meaning can be found in, exhausting, intense, hard work. Most of that is stripped away by being forced to do it, though.
Just one day without tinnitus would make me happy.
Take care of your ears.
Mine eventually (after years) faded into the background and now it only really bothers me if I’m in a quiet place.
Can’t emphasize this enough.
Just live in a loud environment! Oh god I wish I could know silence again. Nothing like going out into nature and you hear a ringing the whole time
Probably a loving partner, and enough therapy to be able to have a healthy relationship. But that’s a lot of work, so I mostly try to be happy in my solitude.
It’s a lot of work for sure. Good luck to you 🙂 🤍
Thanks. Trying to fix myself up more first
Sounds like a solid plan!
I’m a person who enjoys their solitude. I know my partners not the same but I also know there are other people who very much like to stay to themselves. Maybe you can find someone who you can both be in solitude together with.
That would be great, but I’m pretty bad at meeting new people so 🤷
Same. Working on boundaries and seeing some improvement. Definitely not where I want to be, but much better than where I used to be.
I’m definitely worse lol

If I learned how to prioritize sleep without feeling guilty
I do it like this. The world’s a better place for everyone if I’m properly rested. Especially me.
Sleep’s one of the best free pleasures around. It’s free, it heals your body and mind, and just feels good.
I’ve fought a lot with insomnia in recent years and truly appreciate when I’m able to get a good night’s sleep. I’d rather have a bit shorter days, but feel much better due to being well rested whenever possible. How does sleeping make you feel guilty?
A friend that both plays the same video games I like so we can play together and also fucks me.
Are we doing this? Be gentle.
Gentle? But babe, I just lost to Promised Consort Radahn 157 times in a row; I need to vent that anger.
We’re going to need some lube
Condoms has lube right?
A universal move towards a less judgemental and more empathetic society.
If I could turn back time.
If I could find a way
I’d take back those words that have hurt you
So like nothing? Lol
Some days are better than others, but generally, yeah, nothing. Happiness is not for losers like me.
Happiness isn’t for all of us. It wouldn’t hurt to seek it out some times, though.
A few thousand dollars.
💯
I was trying to think of something before clicking on the post and money was literally the first and only thing I came up with
That’s totally doable. Good on you.
I wish it were.
No, I get it. But it’s not like asking for world peace or something.
My daughter to be happy.
Also, for her to manage a single night with solid sleep, so I’m not replying to threads about happiness on Lemmy at 5am. That would also be nice.
To get the kids to bed and start up a video game. That’s all. That’s all it takes for me now a days.
Life stability and security. If all of my bills and debts were taken care of, I would be happy. I love my job as a welder and enjoy what I do. I look forward to the new work week on Monday morning.
I would continue working as a welder, even if I didn’t have to worry about money and bills.
I too wish for the Star Trek Universe.
Getting paid without having to work.
If I didn’t have a job, I’d probably still work, and I’d probably be working partly for money, partly for something to do. I just wouldn’t be answering to someone else. I think “work” is misunderstood. It doesn’t have to be a bad experience, but I understand it often is. I wish more people had jobs they liked, I think that’s a better solution.

World peace and free drugs
I wish I knew.
Need a good brain storming sesh?
I’m not sure if that will help. I’ve been what people would call emotionally numb for a while. Most of how I come across as feeling comes from memory of feeling that way.
I think this applies to me too. Being properly medicated helps. End of the day though I’m not really sure what would “make me happy.” Personally, I’d like to reduce stressors and spend more time being creative. I usually don’t have the mental capacity to stay focused enough after work.
I do get glimpses of happiness. I’m probably more in touch with my vulnerable side, though. Finding something that will release some water from my eyes always gets backfilled with a feeling of relief and joy. Last time I got high and watched the boy the mole the fox and the horse, I was balling. It felt good. I just hope you don’t take pride in the hardened shell that’s grown around you. You’ll never be motivated to chisel away at it.
Name checks out hugs @Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world Maybe not something I’d feel for myself, but I’d be happy being here for you if we find each other around and there’s ever anything you might need, such as a favor or collab. Time spent with friends and other “apophenia” are the closest I get to being normal in this regard anyways.
