Sometimes I think everyone is miserable too.. but then there's folks like my husband. He's just easy to please, he doesn't complain much, he doesn't expect much. Life is just simple for him - planning, and rules, and anxiety are things that are just not in his make-up. Reminds me of that "don't worry be happy" song. He thinks I just make too much out of everything.
> > You really think so? This is a relief because from my vantage point most people look pretty pissed off and scared. I guess it's the filters we look through. When I'm having a good happy time with people I care about I look around and think 'oh, this is easy, life is sweet'. But I still have a hard time believing that the average Joe is happy. Maybe in other countries, but in America? I'm very open to hearing otherwise.

> oh totally... people are very happy... though they might not look it ... and might even display frustration and anger ... i make it a habit of asking people how they think and feel about things... and man everyone is fun ... and now that i'm stable i feel the same way... everything seems so interesting and enjoyable ...
