Late at night, when the world is quiet and our thoughts run deep, these worries often surface:

I'm not happy.  
I'm not sorted.  
I'm confused.  
I'm struggling.  
I'm stuck.  
I'm lazy.  
I'm horrible.  
I'm wasting my time.  
I'm doing the wrong things.  
I'm going down the wrong path.  
I'm desiring a relationship.  
I want money.  
I want to get rich.  
I want a bungalow.

But the real question is: IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION?

I'm desiring all the pleasure!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Imagine this : You are in your 30s

You have your own home fully furnished, nothing too fancy but big enough to give a separate room for each family member

You have a family car.. Not a luxury one, just a normal mid sized SUV

U have no loans, no emi, no obligations

You don't make a crazy amount but have some job security making early 6 figures a month.. 

Question : Are you happy? 
What else would you buy, what else would you aim for?
What are the other necessities.. We all know there's no limit to wanting more.. If u don't want to upgrade to luxury version of stuff u have what else do u need in life?

Ive lost interest in everything in life. No hobbies, no friends, no office. Only work or babysitting. I keep on searching for things on amazon that would make me happy! I find nothing! I earn good but I don’t understand how to spend it( filled my kids toy room but now its too much toys for me to manage) Anxiety , panic attacks and stress! I really keep worrying what would happen if i get fired . Ironically I worry where to spend when I get salary. I feel I have zero wants except basic needs. Maybe I just want a peaceful life without stress. I am so confused.This was what I always wanted, fat cheque ,fancy title and a lovely kid.But I am unhappy! Drowning in responsibilities, in sesrch of happiness, in search of me!

In seach of happiness in life!

Project manager

I dont care about money above a certain amount, i dont care about power. I just want my newfound family and my stability. To live a happy life surrounded by my loved ones. I feel as if its not a bad dream to have.

All id want is stability

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

Sunday night blues.

Are you really happy? A lot of us are chasing something that can cause a really lonely, unhappy, unsatisfactory life. Share it with all of us.

Please. Serious replies only. Let's extend support for each other.

[Serious] Are you happy?

Software Engineer

Generally speaking, I'm a little less happier than I was 5-6 years back. Is this the case with you folks too? Or am I overthinking/getting depressed?

Why has suddenly everything around us started being negative

Growth Manager

Lately I have came across a thought that anyone and everyone in this world is unhappy whether they are those who have achieved everything and those who have not. 

Previously I was very competitive about each and everything in my life now slowly losing the zeal and have started questioning why and what I'm running behind and then if I get something that I desperately wanted will I be happy and the answer i got from within is a big no. 

So, basically it is a false thing in itself which we call life in which we are revolving around never ending loops wanting to achieve one thing or the other only till we achieve it.

Please share your views.

Can one ever get happy in life?

Is it true that after reaching a certain point in life, after achieving something you’ve been striving to accomplish for years, you often feel the most empty afterwards?

People say we should always set new goals and keep working towards them, but does it really bring happiness?

I mean, after becoming a millionaire, if you make another million, will it feel the same as when you made your first million, or does it hardly matter after a while?

Questioning the Fulfillment of Success?!

I am 21 years old. I have good offers (20lac+) from good companies, but I am not happy.

I always feel that something is missing in life, I don't know what and why I feel so.

I tried to get in a relationship, but whenever I express this feeling, things get bad between both of us. I really want to love and get loved.

I have been living my life alone for about 3 years now. I want to make friends, and I want to be in a relationship, but the last 3 years have not been nice to me because of which I don't like going out and having fun.

I was in a depression and a workaholic nerd for the past years and feel that now I have got wired in such a way which is not letting me have fun and enjoy life.

I find myself lonely.

Whenever I don't have anything to work on, I get anxious, and I get this question, what am I doing with life.

Maybe I am feeling lonely while writing this post and may sound little gone case.

Open to your suggestions, do share your stories if you have been through this phase.

Is it normal to feel like this?

How to be happy?

I know most of us don't have a choice as we need to earn to make our livelihood, but what keeps you going day in and day out? Or do you just wait for the weekends. I think very few people get to do what they love doing. So how do you get through the week ? What do you tell yourself ?

How do you guys get through workdays ?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have observed this( at least with my self) that whatever goals you set for your self ( X salary, Y net worth etc etc.) once you're there it becomes ordinary extremely fast and it starts feeling normal again and on you go towards the next milestone.
I was wondering when does this end? Do any of you have reached a point where you don't have the lust for more? You're happy with what you have? 
Did you do something actively to make that mindset? Or were you a "satisfied with what you have" kind of a person all your life?

How do you fight the consistent dissatisfaction?

Backend engineer

How do you keep yourself motivated and disciplined. I almost forgot that this is a new year. Yes, I'm supposed to be motivated and work on my resolutions 🥲, I often find myself settling for less and slipping into a comfort zone. 
Occasionally, I get bursts of motivation and make plans, but I struggle to stay on track. My attention span has reduced, and I easily get distracted, especially with phone notifications. I've tried digital well-being tools, but the real solution seems to be strict discipline. 

How do others tackle this issue? I'm eager to learn from different perspectives and strategies.

How do you all stay motivated?

Senior Associate

I know it’s a very common question, and impossible to know or answer.
But curious how you folks here rationalize the meaning of life.

Add your age if that’s okay, for good measure

For me: I’m 27, my life’s purpose (or so I think) is to build something that helps a whole lot of people have a better life. And it is to make the people around me - family, friends, strangers happier (the scale of which depends on how successfully I pull this off).

Whats yours? Would love to engage on this :)

Thread: What do you feel is your life’s purpose?

Corporate Strategist

I am penning this post because so far working in corporate I have realised that somehow we all are going through the same shit. Not everyone needs an adventure in life and start a business. Some of us like our stability. But with that stabilty comes loneliness. 
Everyone in corporate ( talking about bachelors) is looking for meaningful relationship with good sex. Approaching the other person in office is difficult. Half of us don’t believe in marraige but will get married to someone else’s love one day. 
I dont know what is the solution to this. More importantly I dont even know the problem. But something is missing. 
I see everyone in the morning wearing badges sipping coffee trying to gather energy just enough to survive the day. 
There is no gaurantee of job, life and happiness. 
Somehow we all have become incapable of living. We are just surving. 
These are mixed thoughts just like my morning mails.

What am I missing?

Should work for passion not money.

I cannot understand people who have a large salary but still crib about wanting more and more salary. 
I mean shut up and go do something good for your family or friends or yourself with your money. 

More money is not going to bring you happiness. Making good use of what you already have will. 

Stop with the 1960s Indian mindset of saving up all your money inside a freakin locker/bank

Rant: People who have large salaries but still unhappy

Product Manager

Do you feel that evenings and nights are really depressing when you are lonely? 

By lonely, I mean that you don't have a partner or roommate to talk to (you can still have an active social life).

I have an active social life and I talk to people in office, but most of my past friends and roommates got married and moved on. I don't really have any interest in marriage. The mornings and afternoon feel amazing even in weekends. But evenings feel depressing and sad. 

Anyone else feel this way?

A question for people who feel lonely

Analyst

Not a troll post promise. I am 16 years old, about to enter my dream college MIT (US wala). I'm already making over 8 crore per month pre tax, and deciding on going to college. I'm bored of life already. I feel I'm surrounded by dimwits and thoroughly mediocre plebians which has made me an introvert. I don't relate to anyone my age due to the obvious income gap.

Feeling unfulfilled. Is it all that's there to life? Help me. I don't think what I'm making is enough, but I have to suffer the bane of existence. I have to make do with only silk pillows instead of pure gold. What's next? 100 cr? Will that ever be enough?

Serious replies only please.

I'm desiring all the pleasure!
