35 years ago I picked up a used pocket book in a small books shop, on how to know yourself, like for examples: your IQ, your personality, etc.

In one section there was a list of questions for me to find out whether I am happy with life or something like that, i.e. satisfied with life.

A lot of questions have to do with what I look forward to, like to travel to see a place, to acquire something, etc.

I answered no to almost all of them.

Then I looked up the score indicating whether I am happy with life.

I got a high score, meaning I am happy i.e. satisfied with life.

That made me glad that I am happy with life.

Now 35 years after I am seeing myself as not enjoying anything at all, though I am healthy and active.

I mean I am not excited with anything at all, as to want to do something about it, like when everyone is eager to see a new movie, I am not.

That means that I am not enjoying most things people enjoy(?).

So I wonder perhaps there is something not normal with me?

Still I say to myself, according to that self-help pocket book I happened to pick up in a small used books shop, I am supposed to be happy with life, i.e. satisfied with life.

What are your comments, dear colleagues here?
