Are you satisfied with the life you live?

[Richardceorl1]

The question is clear and precise. Be honest. Are you satisfied with the life you live?

[MCheetah]

Nah.

I mean, it's in an okay spot right now, but I'm old as balls at this point, and came from a VERY rocky start with an abusive mother, growing up dirt poor, and spending most of my life stuck with no way out of that sh*thole called Philly. I'm only just NOW catching to the level you'd expect a 22-24 year old to be. I'm a teacher here in South Korea, but 10 to 12 years behind everyone else.

Also, my height was stunted so badly (181 cm) to sh*t-tier levels like a girl or some third-world starving man, that I'll literally NEVER find another compatible woman to be with me. (Yes, crackwhores, transwomen, and gold diggers are technically "options." Call me "entitled and picky" if I don't want to spend my life with any of those people.)

Hell, being a short-sh*t alone makes me regret my entire life. Since you asked for complete honesty. It's a Domino Effect: Being short means no career that I wanted. And it also means no (compatible) woman possible in my life. And it means a lack of confidence within me. Which means, a wasted life. That's me being pretty honest, there.

However, considering this f*cked up Clown World we're living in, I'm not sure how much of it would even matter in that ideal, alternate timeline of 2021-2022, anyway. Unless me not being genetic trash somehow changes the world and society for the better. I might be the one who saves the planet from a Communist New World Order in that timeline. But who knows?

However, there's one "good" thing about a life like this. I have nothing to lose, and nothing to risk, either. But no. Just on being short alone, I am VERY unsatisfied with my life. I still fight to try to make the world better for other people's lives, though. Especially the young. Maybe it's the only usefulness I'll ever have.

[KennethNoisewater]

Oh shoot. I am absolutely not at all satisfied. It sucks. I'm not even trying to compare my life to anyone elses. I know some people have it way worse. I was brought up in those kinds of values. But with doing that I'm not comparing so to me my life has been a shit show the last 1 1/2 years and it made me do a lot of self reflecting. And by doing that I realized how unsatisfied I am. Now when I do the old " one step forward and two steps back" I just kind of nod and think to myself that that makes sense. I've always had an extremely laid back attitude and let a lot of shit go waist-side. But now it's all creeping back at the same time. I guess what I'm trying to say is #FML

[Youryeodongsaeng]

My life... I don't know if it is going to begin or if my current situation is my life. I'm 17, so I would hope to think that my life yet hasn't started.
I grew up without a father figure nor a father; he was never there for me nor never got in contact with my mom after at least five or six years when I came into this world. I grew up with a verbal abusive stepdad. My mom married him when I was four years old.
I've been called retarded at the age of five. I was experimenting with my body by applying a black sharpie marker on my lips to see how I'd look with black lipstick and he said that I looked like a thot... I was 12 at the time. When I was seven or eight, he slapped me in the elevator because my mom wasn't in the place where she told me she was. He put his hands on me when I was younger (forgot what age) because, you know those backseat van windows that has those black things where you can open the window a bit to let in some air? Well, I kick that window and broke it off that black thing. I got hit because of that. When I was 16, I threw my phone past his head because he was annoying me. I really wanted to be left alone and he wouldn't let me be, so he started beating me on my head and told everyone that I had hit him when I didn't.

So no. I am not satisfied with my life if it has already begun. I told DFCS, they say he's a good man and don't see what's wrong with the man. BULLSHIT, I SAY! BULL👏🏾SHIT👏🏾

[little_bird1]

I was born with a serious physical disability, and the older I am the harder it gets. Even though I am proud of myself for achieving so much in my life despite that (like good career, income, general health, close relationship with friends and family) I am not happy because I will probably never find a romantic partner. I'm this old and never had a boyfriend. So, satisfied yes, but happy nope.

[OlderAndWiser]

I am living the life that I have made for myself. It is not perfect but I am the master of this very small corner of the universe and I accept what I have done.

[Bricealan]

I certainly am happy with my life.

I have done so many things to make it interesting and fulfilling.

Learned to 'Jump" and made a few,
earned a single-engine-land pilot cert.
Earned a Open Water- diving Cert.
Now learning to play the violin -
became fairly proficient at 'HARD YOGA"
Traveled to Europe several times.
Going to Istanbul, Athens, Dubai, and Cairo - next

[Bricealan]

P. S. Earned a Masters Degree from Pepperdine also

[CaptainOverthink]

No and yes.

Right now I know my life isn't over, it's just beginning. So much left to do. In that perspective I am far from satisfied.

But my life has so far been a life of luxury, relatively speaking. Grown up in a developed, free country devoid of wars and disease. Altgough my life has been depression and lonelyness so far.. I can imagine worse.
So in a way I am satisfied being healthy and alive, for how could I not be humbled by life itself.

[ohshee]

No matter the answer that you get from anybody everybody is right where they want to be otherwise they would change it it's that simple. When you want something you have to work for it you have to go after.
When we were born we all were given a gift of choice we get to choose who we want to be but things we say and do

[FreyaRed]

Yes and no. I'm satisfied with my social position, with job I will start after study and income it will generate. What annoys me, I have to invest best years of my life to get it. I would with please travel around the world and pulverize my dads money. But what should I do after 5-10 years of such "dream life" like social media depicts it, without a diploma and with zero job experience?

[Anon621]

I'm alive and therefore in my definition I'm successful and happy. Of course I'm not fully satisfied because I'm at a crossroads in my life where I'm close to graduating but I have no experience in what I want to do for a job at least for my primary choices. I feel like there's always some area where you could be more satisfied

[Anonymous]

Nope, I still haven’t graduated yet and I was unemployed for longer than I’d like this past year (due to COVID).


But I’m slowly working towards that. I just got a job again, started working out, eating healthy, and prioritizing myself.


Making baby steps, but I am far from satisfied with where I am at right now I’m life. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be in the future.

[andreasderjuengere]

I'm not.
But to improve it, I'd need to kill half of the world population, and overturn two or three social and economic systems.
So I keep the gates shut, and focus on being satisfied on my own ground only; with reasonable success :)

[Iknowbestgirls]

@Richardceorl1 actually I'm pretty stressed lately. I'm in the middle of moving from my childhood homeo a new state. I've been there before to visit family but never to build a life there. I'm stressed about the move since it's my first time. I have to pay for everything for the trip even for my brother since he is coming with me without a dollar to his name. I had to leave the 2 jobs that I loved and just wanna get there and start over already.

[menina]

No, I'm not. I'm not where I should be and I'm not who I should be.

[Bricealan]

Well, young woman, you are the only one that can change that. Decide WHERE you want to be, and work toward that end.

[menina]

@Bricealan Yes I know that. And it's going to take me at least 5 years and a lot of money.

[exitseven]

Yes, I have all the important things. Everyone could use more money or more freedom or more spare time but I have a good life, maybe better than I deserve.

[Carocass]

Omgoodness!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! As a woman who battled a highly aggressive cancer for 2 1/2 years straight and almost dies twice! I can tell you it’s much better living then pushing up daisies!

[minuteman12]

Respect. I’d love to hear that inspiring story!!

[FinalFantasyBro]

That is definitely great to see the light while doing a difficult problem, and I hope your cancer eventually goes away.

[lilaccc]

it's like miracle isn't it? i admire a strong woman like you, and wish the best for you 💐

[FinalFantasyBro]

No! I still living with my parents, I don't have a job, girlfriend or friends. Plus I just basically bored out of my mind thanks for Covid but I guess this is better than nothing I guess.

[Hanrej]

No, not one bit. It certainly is much better than it has been but I'm still bitter over decissions made with other peoples oppinions in mind.

Take it from a middle-age guy. You'll never be happy from trying to keep others happy.

[Apulu_3]

I'm satisfied with what I have and I keep myself happy in every opportunity. I also do have sad moments but I don't care of those because it wasn't my fault that something like this happened.

[aintnocandle]

Nope I have bigger dreams💭✨ but I am still grateful, especially for my family and to be able to reach my dreams

[Anonymous]

I wish I had a close friend to do things with.

Other than that, I am ok. My husband and I are living an honest life with our three beautiful children. We are a bit lonely but at least we have us 5.

[FunkyMonkee]

Fuck no!! Are you shitting me? My life started becoming a piece of shit about 25 years ago and has just kept getting worse ever since!!

[Dragonpurple]

Yes and no, its better than it used to be... but not sure It will ever be good enough.

Satisfied is probably the best way to describe it, could be so much better but so much worse too.

[Star_88]

The truth is we all never will be.
I am not and working towards it.
But I don't forget to enjoy every few days to feel better.

[Vetera]

There are people who wake up and get beaten on every day so I'm pretty thankful I'm not one of those people. So the short answer is yes.

[lilaccc]

no, but i'm trying to be grateful day after day, like i still alive today, can breathe easily and can answer your question.. it makes me feel that life is not always bad.

[MTC29]

100% satisfied. There are always a few things that could improve my quality of life; lower taxes for one, but on the whole... it's a good life.

[t-8900]

i've got a roof over my head, food in my belly, and I'm still breathing... things can always be worse. I'll take what i can get...

[Anonymous]

Rn no, I'd like to have a lot of fun a make awesome memories

[Bricealan]

Start now. I did, and I have had many adventures and wonderful memories. Make it happen.

[Prettygurl12]

Sure. No complaints. I recognize that I am capable of achieving whatever I need to in order to make my life better.

[Catlover1999]

I wouldn’t change a thing except my sex (I’m a closet mtf tranny who wishes to be female).

[Anonymous]

It's a life. I'm not good at living it. But I'm doing the right things for my family. Maybe they are better at living their lives.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. I hope things get better though. I'm looking forward to better.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Could be better but that would require money or the government making a drastic change

[888theGreat]

It could be worse. Business is doing ok, maybe not best ever and online sales business is doing better than I expected. I would like to get back in one flea market. Will be starting Ebay sells soon.

[007kingifrit]

not yet. but if this master's can land me a decent job i will be

[dreamstar72]

No because it did not quite work the way I wanted it to. Still I’m happy

[humpbackjack]

Nope always fight for more just don’t be greedy or selfish

[Asianguy123]

I was unhappy until I heard that Jewish people possess everything in the US. so money really don't mean a thing. beside I heard that rich people get bored as well. so what's the point of being unhappy?

[Massageman]

80/20- I miss the paths I never took, but I'm still ahead of the curve.

[rienna888]

Not really I wish I could get school over with so I could really do the things I want

[Redstang88]

Not at the moment, but I’ve definitely had some adventures along the way

[domenico07]

Very. Some minor things could be different, but I can deal. Overall, I have a very fulfilling life, and am quite happy

[MJtheCoach]

Happy but I’m not hitting my goals yet however the fact that I don’t work for someone and I could wake up any time has made me 90% happier than before

[Relux47]

Despite being able to work, having a place to live and anything else I wouldn’t want anybody to have the life that I do

[Twalli]

For the most part. What I need and want is provided for, but I wouldn't say that my life is exactly what I was looking for.

[Joshua0213]

Very much so. Have everything I need tbh. Own house, beautiful girlfriend, money to do fun things, etc.

[Anonymous]

HELL NO, being old broke and working a job you hate and not having any friends sucks.

[PrettyPriya]

More than satisfied! 😊

[Kingofkings1992]

Could be better, but I just do the best I can and try not to compare myself to others.

[sattii2607]

Not living or working to my potential, working on it now.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

More than satisfied... Happy :)

[Anonymous]

No im not. If i could hit a restart button and be someone different, i would in a heartbeat

[tee_64]

Yes very satisfied and grateful for everything

[Anonymous]

nope I had a horrible life and wish I never lived this

[sage2021]

Not at all!

[dustybiker]

It could be better.

[jennifer_bloom]

Very satisfied.

[jamesgoldman]

I'm not broke and I enjoy what I do so yes

[SteveSmith1985]

Nope. (moving on)

[TacosRAwesome]

Not great not terrible.

[clampfan101]

It could be a ton better or a ton worse. :/

[Babygirl_S]

No I want to have a lot more fun.

[McKellar]

Not to sound ungrateful or anything but... No.
