All this talk about big muscles and money... but what is it all for it we are not happy?
We all know how it all turned out for bhanks.
For me, I am quite happy. A lot of good things going on. Perhaps a bit too busy some times, but it is manageable.

People who are happy all the time are usually just lacking self-awareness.
Or mentally challenged.

Right, but the mean should be in the +.
Do you think all the miserable fucks save are generally happy but save the crying for here?

But 'crying about people crying' = 'crying'... :)
-
My personal answer to OP is hell no.
We spent most of our existence as humans struggling to stay warm, eat, procreate, etc.
The concept of personal freedom, expression, happiness and fulfillment is very recent.
Most people are distracted and entertained but not fulfilled.
-
Stay hungry
-
Happiness comes n goes
Joy is a different story
Having peace is everything

Very much so.
One professor in university had us write an essay on the subject : If You Had To Live Your Life Over Exactly As It Has Occurred, Would You?
I chose yes, I would.

I can’t complain. Anyway if I did who’d listen, learned that lesson as a child.

I won't want to do it all over again. once is enough.

I think most probably are. A lot of people come here to vent or poke fun and then go back to their own lives. It's just an outlet. Its more entertaining than the stream of baby pictures, food pictures, and fake happiness on facebook (nohomo for mentioning facebook :)

That’s cause the average age of getbiggers is 48/50ish, except for Wes
-
Very good question.
Yes, I am content with my life, even after enduring suffering and losing loved ones. I wouldn't change a thing.
No matter how bad things are, I see many people around me who have it much worse. All things considered, I am very blessed.

The Keys to Happiness, and Why We Don't Use Them
"Sonja Lyubomirsky of the University of California at Riverside has discovered that the road toward a more satisfying and meaningful life involves a recipe repeated in schools, churches and synagogues. Make lists of things for which you’re grateful in your life, practice random acts of kindness, forgive your enemies, notice life’s small pleasures, take care of your health, practice positive thinking, and invest time and energy into friendships and family."

Can honestly say I don’t remember being happy a day in my life.

One professor in university had us write an essay on the subject : If You Had To Live Your Life Over Exactly As It Has Occurred, Would You?
I chose yes, I would.
"What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence—even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!'
"Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.' If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, 'Do you desire this once more and innumerable times more?' would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life?"

To me happiness has always been a fleeting thing.....this probably has a lot to do with my depression and anxiety disorders.

I was and didn’t know it, fucked it all up now see just how great it was

I am almost never "happy" in the sense that most people define it.
I wasnt even happy about winning my show
Im pretty non-plussed about anything.
Im not unhappy much either.

Been there a few times before also and never learned from it, taken my family for granted was the he biggest fuck up I’ll ever make and probably be paying for it in regret rest of life haha

Are you this way naturally, or are you on some meds that suppress emotions? Nothing wrong with that, just wondering.

For those who are not happy and say they haven’t been happy before or at least not very much, I sincerely wish things get better for you in whatever way you need to be happy.
-
The most clear sign that someone isn’t content is when they are clearly bald and pretend as if they aren’t.

Good stuff
PCA seem to be doing things right at the moment

Statistically consistently a bit of a trough in terms of life satisfaction, a vague notion of "unmet expectations" seems to be a common underlying theme in studies no matter one's external success, life situation, or otherwise
Just part of the normal life cycle it seems
Good news is things skew to a trend upwards from 55 or so until mid 70s

Been pretty detached since I was around 9 years old, I dont form deep relationships with people, they come and go in my life and I dont really notice.
Had depression after surgery 3 years ago, been on anti-depressants since.
They do zone me out a bit but the silence can be deafening.
-
I was 20 when I registered to getbig almost 17 years ago. I was living with my parents, going to night school to finish high school. I didn't have friends because all the people at the school where 40-60 year olds. I was happy back then. Lifting and playing guitar was on only thing that made sense.
Fast forward to this day. I've got plenty of friends, great spouse, great career. Still lifting and playing music and check getbig every day. Absolutely content with my life. DVDs?
-
Couldn’t be happier with my pro card.
;D ;D ;D
-
Absolutely thrilled at the way life turned out. Especially for what it was early in life.
GetBig is just a place where we can gather, make fun of each other, argue, agree, talk training, take the piss, bitch about politics/bodybuilders/each other, etc.
Hilarious if you think about it...
-
Congrats to all you who are content with your lives cause to not be is like living in hell and I’ve been living in hell a long time. Hoping it all ends sometime soon, for me being dead seems much more fun than being alive. My mind is my worst enemy and if you have never experienced that just pray you never will, it’s a life sentence of miserableness.
-
I am yes, would like to improve my standing on Getbig though.

My birthday was a great day I was very happy I went snowboarding with my son. Today was a great morning went snowboarding with the kids again but then truck broke down in the mountains had to get towed and I am now stuck in a motor inn with no cell phone service and hour from a rental car. The mechanic is going to tell me tomorrow when the parts will come in. The point is life has it’s ups and downs. When I came her my pregnant fiancé had recently left me and I was going through a difficult time mentally and physically . Now I am engaged again I have a job and I am healthy but get too content and life will knock you down and take your truck. You can’t expect to be happy all the time or to never be down but you can hope good time will come again.

Every single post you make that isnt about how good you are is about how shit everyone else is
Thats resentment, it stems from anger in your own inability to succeed at anything
Bitterness and resentment relate to anger. When we let anger at others or frustration at our situation fester and build up in our hearts, we can begin to develop bitterness and resentment. Often bitterness takes root when we are hurt by others or we think a situation we are put in is unjust or unfair

At several times it seemed a quarter of the posters said others were homosexuals and were routinely making homosexual references. That’s odd for a forum with people who don’t condone man-on-man sex and think it’s disgusting.

I notice that too. I’ve made neutral responses and he lashed out for no reason. It seems like he’s angry all day.

I am going to have to disagree When I saw my 3 year old snowboarding on his own I felt like the most successful man in the world. You should have some kids might change you views on what it means to be successful

Really Hope you ok brother you a great guy Rob would hate to come on here one day and find out something happened to you hope the dark days pass my friend
-
taking your time to drink a good coffee or eat a sourdough bread is underrated. Most of us race through life at full speed. Each idle minut spent on our phones.
I have plenty of goals but I find I am happier when I also have time to relax.

Yes, I am.

Dont see much of him because his kids annoy me,

You always seem to be happy with where you're at in life I'll give you that. You're healthy though? You were shitting blood a week ago or whatever the hell was going on, I only half paid attention. You abuse PEDs nonstop. Just because you have abs doesn't mean your healthy

What's bothering you now, mate? The job?
You can change a lot of things in life if you want to :)
-
Content with most. But really bored with my work/line of work
Need to do something else or take a new dirrection but idk what and have no real passions any more. Just saving money for time being untill I figure something out.

No mate work fine although shit this time of year the warmer weather soon be back, about a year ago now while working away I met a lass who I did fuck all with other than talk turned down her advances explaining I had a lass but something fucked in my mind and when got home from Kent I treat my lass like shit as felt I made a mistake till she eventually moved out now she lived elsewhere with my daughter I live alone with my our son and every day is a reminder of how fucking stupid I was
-
This, i really fucked it up this year.
Hope you are ok mate
-
That doesn’t mean all people are miserable.
you for sure are
-
It's hard to say.
In the moment I tend to be very negative. Only see pot holes all around me, only see people who are out to get me, only see large problems that are beyond my control that are only getting larger- at just about every level of my life upto and including national and world events.
Ive been through quite a bit. Overtime I've become hypervigilant. Very suspicious of people and their intentions.
But usually when I look back, thinking back to different times, different points in my life, it's allways positive memories. Thinking back over time Ive led a very good life. But as I get older, each passing year feels like the walls are closing in that I have to be more cautious about the decisions I make. I guess thats what experience teaches: Ive seen this before and I recognize all the problems it presents.
There's a lot I am grateful for, mostly my children and my wife. But am I content? No. I constantly feel the need to keep growing in someway. Keep developing mentally, keep positioning myself. Always have goal of some kind to reach.
I think for most men, at least the kind of men I relate to, are rarely 100% content. But there comes a time in the later stages of their lives when they become at peace with theirselves and at ease with the world around them....and usually sometime shortly afterwards....it's over.

This, i really fucked it up this year.

Any chance I could have your ex’s phone number?
LOL
Hang in there Henda, there are over 4 billion women in the world, so even you might have a chance. Just remember that no matter how bad things get; at least you’re not Shizzo or Primehomosexual.
Hahahaha…some days I just kill me.

Hey Rob, reach out to one of us in a PM. No need to go through this alone. The holidays are the worst time of the year for what you’re feeling.
Try to seek out some beneficial professional help and start back on the path to better days.

Yes take care Big Rob.

All will be well, brother. Ofttimes it is the contentious that prevent us from being content. Never forget that every breath they take is one down toward their ultimate demise, for they live without purpose and are doomed to suffer at the end of all things.
And many will die at the hands of those they call "homie" and "brutha". Fuck 'em. They deserve Hades.
You are a good man and good men are known not so much by the company they keep but by the families and friends they are known to. In all ways and for always, be well sir.

Every day is better in some way. I need only see those worse off when I am at the hospital to know that I am a very fortunate man.
If I may? Do not be too harsh upon yourself. There are plenty of lesser men in this world (and even here on these forums) waiting for any opportunity to do that. I do not lie. You are a good man.

Henda, one day on a sunday afternoon you will hear a knock on your front door. A 10/10 woman will greet you when you open the door. She will stare straight into your eyes (very intimidating). She will then grab your balls and whisper into your ear: "Getbig sent me, stud. Show me where you keep your pots, pans and cleaning supplies"

Life Kicked me very hard a few times this year.
Last year at this time (December), great health, trained regularly, had a woman who i wanted to grow old with
Best New Years Eve ever, couldn't have been happier or more content last year.
Now, this December, Health issues (on meds now), and due to the issues i was very easily irritated and i took her for granted, didn't treat her as good as i should (due to reasons), got angry for small things etc, so she left me.
Every day this month i have regretted what i have done and blaming myself.
This christmas and new year is gonna be a hoot

Every day is better in some way. I need only see those worse off when I am at the hospital to know that I am a very fortunate man.
If I may? Do not be too harsh upon yourself. There are plenty of lesser men in this world (and even here on these forums) waiting for any opportunity to do that. I do not lie. You are a good man.
Glad to hear that Scott.
Thanks again for the kind words.

You just proved my point. You are an ignorant simpleton.

Over time, I've come to accept that happiness is a state of mind and not related to any single or numerous experiences. A state of mind that is usually fleeting. A state of mind that sometimes is perceived by way of social influences. Instead of trying to judge whether I am content with my life, I now try to simply accept my basic existence. I see it less as a race to achieve happiness by societal standards and instead try to envision that we are greater than the sum of our materialistic parts. I am now (and it strays from my Judaic beliefs) accepting the idea that we are all one, part of the same source and that as a single being are having distinct human experiences within these meat vessels we call bodies that come pre-made with an "EGO" that makes us seek out worldly accomplishments for self-validation and self-preservation. Life has made me realize no one thing can bring you happiness.
I once thought that owning a beautiful home (condominium and/or house) would make me happy. I finally owned both (with no contingencies) and neither made me happy, they were merely accomplishments to add to my perceived success. Sooner or later, a property you own, regardless of all the "stuff" you fill it with is merely just a house/home you've made your own. Still, just a "thing" in a world of many things we perceive as ours. Yes, at the very early moment when I owned the properties, I felt a sense of accomplishment and relief, but over time, they were simply places to lay my head down at night.
I once thought that having a certain amount of money in the bank (after taxes) would make me happy. I then reached the amount I thought would do it and it didn't make me happy, merely allowed me to worry less about the bullshit (paying bills, managing debt, overhead costs of living) that takes away from the time I have to possibly pursue the things I like and bring me enjoyment. So even achieving financial freedom didn't necessarily make me happy. The mere "thought" of achieving happiness through reaching financial goals placed the proverbial carrot at the end of the stick needed for me to keep working towards it.
I once thought that being with the "right" person would make me happy. I then found individuals throughout my life that met my standards (smart, accomplished via academic and career-related accolades, having amassed enviable wealth, good looking with relatable personalities that lend themselves to humor, good times and entertainment) and even then, the novelty of anyone wears off if given enough time. People and their ever evolving personalities don't make me happy, but the "idea" of meeting certain people motivated me to work towards that goal, which in turn kept me in pursuit.
I once thought that being in "great" shape would make me happy. I achieved that before (low bodyfat levels, good musculature, great health by way of modern medical standards etc), but even having a great shape is short-lived when you realize we all get physically (not mentally) old and our bodies start to decay.
I once thought that having a strong family with extended network of friends would make me "happy". While having people I call family is VERY nice, it doesn't provide constant happiness, it instead lets me worry less about the "thought" of being alone. But even then, every family member I consider close has their own life to tend to and not always are they by my side.
Moral of the story is that I am now content/happy in believing that I am merely one of the whole that is having a human experience on this planet and will soon return to that whole and embrace that the world was simply a grand stage for us to all perform while in the guise of individualism.
Sorry for the Matt-like post.

Patting yourself on the back like this is the forum equivalent of a self reacharound.

Still, with enough money you don't have to worry about 40 % of what most worry about (and can be the cause of other things as well, like causing ripples in relationships and similar)

Money affords you more bandwidth to worry less about the daily bullshit that eats away at the time that you would otherwise have to instead concentrate on going after the things you perceive would bring you happiness. What I am trying to instead say is that even with money no longer being a concern, you will then find that the "things" you thought would bring you happiness are merely things. Sooner or later, you just keep chasing after "things" perpetually. That chase produces a dopamine rush, it happens every time we acquire a thing or have a new experience, but it's merely an illusion. We fall in love with the illusion of what these things can mean to us. But when are you truly content? No item, person or worldly object can make you happy. If there were such a thing, we would ALL be after it. At some point, enough people were fooled into believing money would be the key to happiness, but then when you realize what money is versus what it is not, it can be a pretty sad state of affairs. Instead, chase after that which we truly have a limited supply of, time.

Believe it or not, Last year (December 2021) i was content

Is Kwon-2 the same Kwon who used to post pics of fat-azzed wimmens?
If so, just what the heck went wrong?
-
Believe it or not, Last year (December 2021) i was content
I believe you brother.
Again, a state of mind is what I perceive happiness to be, less so a constant determined by any external factor. We make ourselves feel the sensation of happiness.
Also, a disclaimer... Don't take what I say as anything too concrete to place credence on. Brother, take my opinion as solely that of an old Jewish accountant that like everyone else in this world is just trying to exist to the best of my ability.

Haha that would be nice mate tell her to fetch custody papers for my daughter and we’re set haha. Lass I’ve been seeing casually used to come over on Wednesdays and let herself in and do some cleaning but she said i wasn’t making enough effort to maintain it after she had tidied and stopped doing it the selfish fucking bitch

It happens. We sometimes take it out on the ones we love most, the ones who love us most.
Now you go after her and apologize. Find a way to apologize that she will like and accept. Then you hold on to her for the rest of your life. Best of luck to you, and I hope you have a full and quick recovery!

And yet there is a peace to be discovered through ceasing to strive and struggle, in just being with what is, in just accepting how things are, in relaxing the need to be always thinking over ones life and everything that should be other than it is. And then perhaps a new energy is found to go about it with greater vigour.

All you depressed middle aged bitches are just suffering from estrogenic pollution hypogonadism and male menopause. I would suggest bioidentical hormone replacement and possibly therapeutic medication for the worst cases.

We know androgen deficiency causes depression, so androgens are in fact anti-depressants.
