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.
Sorry about the offer! What lead you to ask for TRT?
I have low T. Getting new bloods done soon but 11/2023 I was at 358. I went on test for after I found this out and shot myself up to 1900. Felt like a God tbh. Trying to use my insurance and doing it ethically now.
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.
You played the ACR $2,650 Venom $12.5M GTD?
No, 2 buy-ins ($3k per) for 10-20 cash games at the casino and lost both over 6 hours of play. I still haven't registered for Venom yet, will try and qualify on their last SAT on 21st. If I make that then I'll play Venom D1 on the 28th. Bad start to the month so I'm worried I'll play like tilted trash.
Oh ok wow. 😮
Venom Day 1 was insane. Chris Moneymaker is in 4th!!!
I played Day 1A on Sunday. They started me out with Jeff Boski on my left. It was nice because he was streaming on Twitch so we compared notes a little bit. He mentioned me a few times on stream. I beat him in 4 hands! He beat me in 1.
Everything was running smoothly for the first 3 hours. I kept chipping up and was feeling really good. Tourney started at 1:10pm. At 4:29pm, ran a second nut flush into the nut flush. I raised QdJd 2.2BB UTG and he raised to 4.4BB with Kd7d in middle position and we both hit the flush on the turn and he got a lot of my chips.
Got knocked down to 14BB and was super depressed. Was drinking green tea, but then decided to start to have a few White Claws. Got a good buzz going and chipped up to 76BB!!!! I was ecstatic. What a comeback!!! Had to last 9hrs to make Day 2 and made it 7hrs. Ran into a full house and it was a fair way to exit. Really good day, one of the best. I hung with the pros for 7hrs and beat them. Finished top 1/3 but needed to be top 18% for Day 2.
Then yesterday was dying to get another $2,650 ticket. So I played this $109 satty. 3 seats GTD. Fired two bullets into 91 entrants and 4th got $1,150 and top 3 got Venom seats. Finished top 3!!!! We back in it baby!!!!!! Will prob play this Sunday. LFGGGGGGG.
Also, I wore a Chest HR strap for the grind on Sunday. I like dancing around when I play to stay awake. Had a good workout and played a $23K after the Venom and won a lil bit of money too. Has been a good week for me so far.
The last day of satties is on the 27th - there are a bunch.
I'm trying to rack up some $11 to $109 tickets in satties if I bust again on Sunday to go for the last Sunday flight if needed. I like the non-PKO version of the Venom better than the PKO.
This Sunday night $95 is one of the best satties out there. 50 seats!
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.
Which field in finance do you work in?
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.
Dealing with something similar... I'm fine being by myself but I've gotten really lonely over the years of being so independent. I have a great job, am fit/relatively handsome, cool hobbies, good values, nice upbringing. Seems like I check a lot of boxes. Honestly I just think I don't have the consistent self-confidence needed to put myself out there. I go on dating apps and do fine on the dates I do go on but nothing sticks. Then I'm too oblivious/nervous to show interest when I meet a cute girl in public. Probably some avoidant/anxious attachment issues to continue working on with my therapist 😪
