Being performatively miserable is very off-putting to people who are not also doing the same thing. If you have interests other than saying you're depressed on the computer, you will develop important social connections with other people and can enjoy eachother's company and might find you have a lot in common with them, if you have an open heart and a healthy outlook :)

Capitalism is hard, but a nice hot shower can turn your day around! Consider jumping into the "steam room" next time you feel gross and see how much difference it can make!

You can also take a nice bubble bath when your muscles get sore from the gym or you just want to take some time for yourself. :)

Every morning I put happy thoughts in a jar.

Then, once per week, I open it, set it on fire and douse it with my own piss.

Maybe add some soft music and use the bath time to journal? I like to write one thing I'm thankful for at the beginning and end of each day.

As an alternative, consider writing down your happy thoughts and posting them on your bathroom mirror! You go in and out of there a lot throughout the day, so you'll never be far away from something that made you happy.

When I'm feeling misanthropic, I like to shut my laptop, set a timer, and spend the next 10 minutes meditating or engaging in a sensory task!

happiness tip: get super invested in an internet community: reddit, twitter, tumblr, SA, whatever feels good. make thousands of posts, start a whole gimmick, get some posting feuds. if you start seeing posts that make you feel bad or maybe challenge your values just post even more

To me, this is an UNhappiness tip because feuds tend to leave both parties feeling rough. You know what they say: revenge is a poison chalice from which you willingly drink.

Especially when you're treating yourself to a special meal after achieving a goal or making a big change to your routine! If you're eating with a loved one, consider sitting down and opening up! People who care about you want to know how you're doing, and being honest can help you feel better about yourself.

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.

I agree, farting makes me happy too. Be careful not to shart though! Unless that also makes you happy I guess, it takes all types.

uh oh! looks like NeatNegativityDude has shown up. there's lots of ways to find happiness, and nothing makes friends faster than having an internet feud in common. have you thought about taking a break from the computer and maybe going to the gym?

Happiness tip: It doesn't matter how you feel inside, you know. It's what shows up on the outside that counts. Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down past your knees, until you're almost walking on them. And then you'll fit in, and you'll be invited to parties, and boys will like you.

I think happiness is mostly about finding a band that you like that was popular 20 years ago and buying some merch to put on your walls and maybe going to a show if they're in town even though they're middle aged and pathetic now
