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?
