Does content with bouts of happy count?
I think I wabble between D and E depending on what's going on. I'm generally one of those that believes stuff is going to happen so no use being unhappy about it. Learn to deal with it rather than curse it when it happens. However I do get terribly unhappy with certain people in my life who don't seem to be happy unless they are in the middle of making things more difficult than they have to be. Every once in a while I go through a little spell of unhappy for that reason. It tends not to last that long though.

Considering I ran 1--% A for 17 years, I am thrilled to say the last five months or so have been E 85% of the time.

Hard won joy rocks because once you get it it's hard to shake.

F - nearly all the time

B. Anything more involves whiskey

Sure! Happiness, just like sadness, is a continuum. I seem to sklide back and forth. Being really, really happy usually involves beer and herbs.

Fairly often. Most of the time, really. Happiness is a choice, and a journey. I choose to be happy, and I work at it, therefore I am happy most of the time. I have depression/anxiety, and on my bad brain days I don't feel happy - but I AM still happy, I just can't access it. I know it's there, and I know depression lies, and I get through and then I'm happy again. It's not about your circumstances, it's about what you do w/ them.

E: But I like my grumpy persona

E

B. But I honestly never really think about it. I'm a kind of person who is neutral I guess. It's weird.

2

Very often.

E. The blues get me from time to time but I'm accused of being a relentless optimist often enough that I suspect I'm happier than most.

I don’t feel all that happy. But if you tell me to go to church to find happiness, I’m gonna get even more unhappy.

Not happy, not sad, but I am drunk! That counts for something!

D. doesn't usually last long before reality reasserts itself but can usually find a couple of things to smile about every day even if it is only a homegrown tomato or a beautiful moth.

A .Content but never happy

B - I am almost perpetually happy at this stage of my life, but I don't much analyze my moods or state of mind. I'm just in the moment, far as I know. Whether I'm laughing or crying, it's just an expression of emotion. Interestingly enough, if I'm extremely angry, I do try to stop and analyze it. The situation almost never warrants such a strong reaction from me.

Define happy.

E- can't be happy if you're never sad.

I've got a fairly sunny disposition, unless I'm aggravated. I'm a realist, but I do try to see the upside of things. It's much easier to be cheerful than dour. Small humans and dogs are both good for accomplishing a positive mood.
My answer is E.

Considering our man-made reality built upon people utilizing their rights of alternate realities to enlist new laws so their country can mimic that of their so-called reality, I'm going to say E.

Both of my parents died last year which is not a happy thing but overall I have a happy life. My family, my work and my leisure activities all combine to give me a happy life.

E, but I like to avoid doing or saying anything that will detract from my nasty old man GET OFF MY LAWN image. 😀

B. Very rarely. But I have severe depression, so...
