Does anyone else ever get sad when you think about how happy you were as a child…and knowing that sense of happiness is never attainable again?

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes

No

[Apple1996]

I've always been depressed even as a kid so can't relate to that happiness people have as a kid

Yes sometimes I wish I could relive my childhood, I always get sad and nostalgic whenever I think about all the good things that I took for granted in the past. But now I’ve also made a lot of new happy memories, it might not seem like I have anything right now but I know later in the future I will look back at this moment and reminisce the good ol’ days again.

not really, no... I rather cherish it

there was happiness as a kid, as a teen.. as a guy... and now as a man

[John_Cobretti]

Yes , flashbacks hurt often
Lot of good memories and friends and times which we'll never get back

[KateDemee]

Why is it never attainable again? Wondering your reasons

[Kingofkings1992]

Because as a child, you haven’t been exposed to the harsh reality of our existence. The phrase ignorance is bliss couldn’t possibly be more true.

[TiaNour]

I’m probably happier right now then when I was a kid

[Anonymous]

Yes and no. I sometimes think like that, but I'm also confident that forms of happiness can be achieved as an adult.

[Nikki1989]

Not everyone has a happy childhood.

Fair point
