I can make myself feel pretty good pretty easily (i.e. huffing gas, masturbating) but making myself feel bad is also equally easy (e.x. looking in the mirror, reading my posts), so which one is better? Please support your arguments.

It depends on the person, don't you think, OP? For instance, it would be better to make Hitler sad and Obama happy.

Obama's frown is really visually appealing though. I'd argue that making Obama sad would, in turn, make me and the doubtless thousands of others like me happy

The real question is did you make yourself happy.

Wow, you've given me something to think about. Thanks, Izzy!

it is better to be happy than sad (source: feelings experience) and making people happy creates a general vibe that in turn will increase your happiness. or not, but you'll still feel good about it.

I always feel bad and if I feel good it is the beginning of something very bad.

Now wait a second. Your title implies making other people happy or sad, but the OP only refers to you!

I must know which matters more.

other people? clearly better to make them happy.

yourself? hard to say. general insecurity and dissatisfaction has led me to a fairly high level of success. I dunno, op.

If you are sad, you gotta make others sad. If you are happy, you make others happy too.

Only a weird psycho would do the opposite.

i theorize that hitler wouldn't have killed anyone if he was happy. i would say i haven't killed anyone when i was happy, but i'll be honest: i can't remember. hell, i can't remember 10 minutes ago!!

Honestly I don't understand happiness as a goal. Is it getting everything you want? Is it pleasing other people to get what you want?

I am really confused and need guidance.

gently caress it I will post in E/N
