Is this happiness normal?

I'm only happy with pleasure, comfort and possessions, other people's idea of happiness is a lie, yeah, you really are happy without money despite asking for money, that's a funny kind of happiness. My happiness is simple: pleasure and contentment, I get happy with an item I paid for, I get happy when no one, not even a doctor, is giving me no pleasure, I'm happy when I read books, luxury makes me happy, my clothes make me happy, hot & spicy V8 vegetable juice makes me happy, having lots of possessions and money makes me happy, without them I'm sad, is this normal?

      Not if it's without gratification or without showing off my gold pen, gold calculator or gold golf balls and gold-plated golf club!

    You are a plebian of the worst kind. We the elite 1% have a "proper" view of money and happiness. That is that money is only enjoyable when it is invested to create wealth and high dividends. Your consumption oriented preferences will only ensure your eventual poverty and despair.

  • Give me some of that happiness. I'm fucking broke.
    Seriously, I'm happy when I am in love and the feeling is returned.

      That's a beautiful kind of happiness, but to tell you the truth I don't think I'll ever find it. When I think I've found it it just turns out to be a big fat lie. Honestly though, this last go round the relationship lasted about a year and a half, but I think my love for the person started dying in October of 2016, which was only about 4 months after I moved in with him. It's hard to love someone with a bad temper who does nothing, but fight and abuse you verbally and emotionally. Then came the day when he tried to put his hands on me...

      I feel sad and ashamed, because I can give advice and tell others what to do about problems, but I can't do it for myself. I do need others to help and encourage me too.

      • I'm sorry about your bad experience.
        Actually, I'm always the one who is left, and usually I continue to be in love for long after it ends.
        I am now trying to keep my expectations very low, and not get involved with someone coz I don't think I can take yet another heartbreak.
        But I keep love in my heart, not for one person but people in general, nature, life...

          I dunno who left in this situation, but I guess it was me, because I started walking away from him, then he ran up, grabbed me and dragged me down the road like I was an animal. I ran to his sister's camper, and locked myself inside, then called 911. After he was arrested his mother came back and screeched at me like a demon from Hell! Later that night/very early the next morning I called a local cab company that showed up with an SUV, loaded up all ten of my bags, and took my trusty Siamese cat and me to a local motel. I remember this one neighbor and friend of his family was quite kind to me after the incident, she even called me multiple times, but I stopped taking her calls after I got to the motel, because I was afraid she might try to get me to tell her where I was and then tell him and his family.

          The funny thing is that despite all of this I feel heartbroken, rejected and abandoned, because he presented himself to me as one very kind, loving and compassionate person then gradually morphed over the year and two months that we were living together into the awful person who dragged me down the street and, according to the arresting officers, would probably become progressively more and more violent toward me. I feel so stupid, because I've never been in an abusive relationship like this before. I feel like such a fool, and the worst part is that he always played this victim role where he constantly talked about how all of his exes cheated on him and how one supposedly beat him. Now I don't know what to believe. I'm starting to experience chronic headaches, gastrointestinal problems and my myofascial pain has been flaring up a lot lately. I even had a problem about a week ago where I was having chronic nosebleeds that would go on for hours, my family even took me to the ER once and my blood pressure is going through the roof.

          I do keep my heart open to animals, especially cats and dogs, quite naturally though. I feel like a shell of my former self. I don't necessarily want to be alone, but I feel like people will turn on me and lash out like angry chimps.

          • My heart goes out to you. Please don't dwell in the past.

            You were released from all that madness and should go on with your life.

            We can find love in many ways.

            I love animals too.

              Thank you sweetheart! I just wish I could be completely happy as a solitary person.

            Hmmmm. Perhaps you would be more compatible with a mastermind type, like a chess player. The low emotional intensity might work in your favor.

              Honestly, I would like to separate the part of me that yearns for male companionship of the romantic kind and basically beat that part of myself to death or at least leave it in a coma. My life would have and could be so much better without such entanglements and or the longing for such things.

    Just because you don't value money doesn't mean you're not materialistic.
