Be honest, how happy are you right now from a scale of 1 to 10?

10, but my schedule is pretty full, but doable. 

6.5

If my doc approves TRT tomorrow, 8.5.

If my offer gets accepted on my next real estate purchase, oh boy 9.

Update: Offer was not accepted, but doctor is supportive of TRT. Fixed emotions think I'm at a 6. Chasing the deal was more fun than anything else.

9. Life is good. Can always be better, but still good. 

Probably an 8.99

Assuming a standard bell-curve of my own life, then I would say 6 with the 1 and 10 scores being reserved for things like loss of loved ones/notable illness or wedding night/birth of child. I am very happy with my life, but most of the time I am very happy with my life. I think being in the 8-10 happiness is unsustainable and would require some sort of substance use, and a 1-3 happiness would be closer to depression which I do a good job avoiding. 

If I am comparing myself to how happy the average person is (which would be a big assumption), I would say 8. I don't tend to dwell on the negatives and focus on the positives. I think I am less of the "woe is me" than the average person and more of the "could be worse, could be better" person. 

6 but I'm a pessimist and just lost a high stakes poker game over the weekend so the tilt followed me into the week. Aside from that life's pretty good.

Depends on how truly 'current' you're looking for. If we're talking minute-by-minute, I'm at like a 3/10 because this call I'm on has gone 30 minutes past its slated time and these guys are just saying words, but nothing of substance. It's 78 degrees out and sunny, and I am trapped looking at it through glass panes. My legs are also sore as fuck. 

Overall, however, I'd say 8.5-9/10. Am probably the happiest I've been in my life, except being a literal child which is a constant 10/10 or 0/10 depending on the most recent time you shit your pants. Happy to say that I'm killing it at work, wife & dog are better than ever, dove into some more hobbies, and feeling pretty optimistic about the future. Have come a long way from my low points and am grateful for everyone that made that a factor. 

Pretty sappy, right?! Some props go out to all the WSO folks, you all make my day a little brighter usually. Cheers.

comparison is the thief of joy

rather than asking others how happy they are, ask yourself why aren't you as happy as you'd like to be and then what your definition of happiness actually is

out of curiosity, why are you asking this question?

Solid 8, actively paying off all my debt and starting my career strong.

Fucking 2. Money worries are up there, but it's more that I'm just loney. I can't find a girl who I'm interested in, and the few who come along i do have interest in just ghost me. I'm sick of living life by myself. I have a good circle of friends and a close family but honestly none of that comes close to a romantic relationship for me. And I'm just sitting here wondering if the rest of my life is going to just as lonely, in which case I might as well just fucking give up. What's the use in putting all this effort to be a "catch" if no one is bothering? 

And a preemptive fuck off to any "you need to love yourself first" and "you need to comfortable being alone first" bullshit. I have no problem being by myself, that's not the problem. Most of my life is fine, there are few stressors (except the aforementioned money worries), so the big glaring hole in my life is my primary preoccupation. I surround myself with distractions to take my mind off of the depressing reality that I'm never going to find someone but the veneer of friendly delusions rubs off late at night. Maybe I just need to go to bed.
