“Six habits of happy people.” Do you agree?

[Anonymous]

[ChrisMaster69]

Nah don’t fully agree, a lot depends on context of what happy actually is.

you can be chatty and talkative and be not only happy but make others happy.

Ignore nonsense… we have a bit of a chill out Friday and it’s a great end of week stress release just doing utter bollox stupid stuff.

A laughing person is not always a happy person,

Someone sitting at home, all alone, no friends, laughing watching a comedy program before he goes and does his volunteer stuff, but has no one to talk to, he’s quiet, does not believe in joining in all the nonsense and will just sit and study as everyone else messes around chatting…
then he goes home to his empty house.

1, 2, and 6 are true. 3, 4, and 5 are not. Learning is an intellectual trait, and intellectual people are rarely happy, and happy people are VERY rarely intellectual (outside of tech billionaires). Happy people also focus more on themselves, so no, they don't help the less fortunate any more than unhappy people do. And laughing has nothing to do with happiness per se, as unhappy people often laugh to mask their pain and anguish. You can be happy without laughing that much.

So no, I'd say that image isn't that accurate.

[kyleelyn199723]

I agree with this. Some people are disagreeing with the talking less, but I think it’s directed towards the people that pretend to be happy on social media and post about their happy life but they are the most miserable people out there. It’s so common.

[rodeschaap]

I only don't agree with the talk less. When I talk to other people, I feel happy. Of course, when you spend too much time talking to others you won't have time to spend on yourself. But if I were to talk less, I'd feel more isolated and alone.

[S3ntnl]

Like to talk?

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, I particularly agree with "ignore nonsense."

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Different things make different people happy.. Some people are happy talking less.. And some are happy talking more... Some like/need solitude to be happy and some like to socialize more to be happy...

[Djaay]

truly happy people have the diversity to do all the above intrinsically with a natural overtone from they're character and personality.

[TurboKid]

Not so much. Showing off is fun to the right crowd. Talking more is fun with the right people. Learning daily: agree with that. Help less fortunate: not if they start exploiting it. Laugh more: definitely. Ignore nonsense: sometimes, but that can also help with laughing more.

[DarthMeow]

Mine is more like:
- Avoid drama
- Do things you love
- Avoid making enemies
- Eat good food
- Don't overthink anything

In conclusion: Avoid things that eventually will make you stressed. Just do nice things you really enjoy.

[Coulis]

I do all six of these so perhaps you're on to something.

[hellionthesagereborn]

I'd agree with those for the most part. Helping others brings meaning to your life, learning keeps you engaged, and being able to not take yourself or the world to seriously helps keep your sanity.

[FoxnEagle]

"Don't show off?"
But why? It's fun and nice to entertain and wow people...

If they mean posturing and gloating, well yeah, I can see that

[TwistedTube]

I don't agree with the talk less part tbh. That's entirely dependent on how introverted/extroverted you are

[NamerOfStars]

I imagine that people's happiness rises in direct proportion to their lack of habits. Madness doesn't come by breaking out, by but giving in.

[Ninjazzed]

I believe truly happy people aren’t severely conceited and they’re the ones that don’t take everything so seriously.

[Silas_153]

I agree with the point that you should ignore nonsense (like the mainstream media news), but the others I don't accept. What if you're the type of person for whom showing off is what makes you happy?

[BeMuse]

Nope. Different things make different people happy.

[Sonorous]

I almost entirely disagree with that &/or think it's way more complex than that.

[Kas19]

I agree you can be happy and do these things, but you can also be unhappy and do these things.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Seems kinda trite, but like most trite advice, there's some truth to it

[Jxrdyn_13]

I would say these are 6 habits of people who are assure of themselves, have confidence and aren't insecure

[MannMitAntworten]

Happy tend to be talkative. A seventh item would be to have plenty of sex.

[Furuok]

50/50 Having cake is only a piece of a larger perception.

[888theGreat]

Nope, I am happy guy and I talk (give opinions) I mean that is this site. I think out of the box.

[Ellie-V]

Well then I guess I am a miserable shrew

[Asker]

Guess you are

[SamA_nold]

I disagree with the ignore nonsense part

[Djaay]

Why?

[SamA_nold]

@Djaay I think it depends on your definition of happiness, really. (I'm going with the assumption that nonsense here means something disagreeable):

If you go with the saying "ignorance is bliss", a person may be happy by ignoring and disregarding different viewpoints all their life. They would consider the opposing points nonsense.

But a lot of times interacting with an opposing position helps people become more well informed, and they can become happier by adopting their own views and stances.

[Djaay]

Ignoring nonsense with people that are well enough adjusted which is basically a general notion of those happy with life on its own terms means intrinsically that they're not open to situations or notions regarding innuendos that go no place.

[SamA_nold]

@Djaay that's your interpretation

[Djaay]

That's the difference between your age and my experience and wisdom through out life I've live from then to now.

[SamA_nold]

@Djaay cool. So you're interpretation is automatically better because of your age. Good going man 👍

[Djaay]

What , Im not allowed to have 40 more years of life experience then you? Point is your thought pattern obiviously suits your need to oposse at anyone not agreeing with you.
That there is NONSENSE. Get the point now. ... bye

[SamA_nold]

@Djaay 1) Don't put words in my mouth. It's dishonest and rude. You're allowed to be older, but your age does not automatically make your opinion correct.

2) I posted my opinion, on a site that asks for people's opinions. I gave you my interpretation, and rather than have a respectable discussion, you simply dismissed my opinion because I'm younger.

3) As I said above, some people are happy being ignorant. You are a wonderful example of that.

[Djaay]

I question your opinion , as all of us on gag do. ignorance... shit , your actually showing your ignorance by deflecting truth and twisting it to sound right. Point is nonsence is your gander towards others of opposition you feel attracts warfare in your favor. Good luck with your own ignorance

[SamA_nold]

@Djaay XD keep going

[jshm2]

Nah, that's just platitudes.

[exitseven]

Yes, especially Ignore Nonsense.

[OddBeMe]

Money isn’t on there.

[Monfrere]

Agreee

[Napolii]

Happy people don't have habits they just exist.

[King-of-Evil]

There are way more than 6 habits

[JesseJayNeak]

Totally true. At least for me

[JosyJosy]

No but I can see it

[FilmGuy93]

Yes, generally.

[charlidunkin]

I dont agree

[Ottilie_x]

Yeah I agree.

[WowwGirl]

Hey you

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Almost

[EaterPeter]

[princeofromance]

Yes.
