My happiest times of my life were when I was in elementary. Watching cartoons, playing videogames in the 80s, going on adventures on my BMX with my cousins and friends. As I got older, I had less and less friends. I'm 44 years old now and I don't have any friends, just coworkers and acquaintances. I keep hoping things would turn around, but it hasn't happened.

repression of negative memories is real and even the shittiest periods of life can seem ebullient. a lot of people remember being a little kid as the best days of their lives because the things that stick out are toys and cartoons and maybe a vacation or something. we tend to stuff the poo poo like family arguing, trauma, teething, injury, social awkwardness, loneliness (regardless of the ratio to good/bad) in the recesses of our mind. high school can seem awesome because you were getting laid, going to parties, no job, no worries, going to live forever but reality is that it is a time of awkward adolescence, worries about grades, pleasing parents, all sorts of dumb poo poo that felt terrible. your happiest days are subjective and rarely do we realize how good we have it during the experience. enjoy every moment. namaste.

No probably not because as I get older it seems I only get more free to do what I want and successful in basically every way, and I have a great and loving wife and family and lifelong friends I'm quite excited to see where the next 10 years takes me and I have lots of plans and things I want to do/try/create

Memories are more fond than the present event. Your happiest moment will always be in the past.

If you think the happiest moments are in the past it's because you are your own enemy and you must defeat yourself to have success.

I used to get drunk on nostalgia and now I loving hate it. I get better every year in the things that matter but it took me a while to get to that point. So, no. I don't think my happiest days are behind me.

There’s no room for happiness in *gestures vaguely at the surrounding world* this, so probably yes OP.

i look at my past with a realistic viewpoint: i did some wild poo poo when i was younger. i'm glad i survived mostly in tact but when you live like that you have incredible highs and incredible lows. i have some amazing, unbelievable memories that people would kill for and i've also had stretches of time that were truly abysmal. nowadays i am consistently in the content --> happy range with the occasional peak. the days of extremes are behind me and it is for the best. i probably ought to write some of it down before I am old and forget, but was I happier? nah if life seems mundane or you are becoming lamer as you get older DO SOMETHING  go read some ralph waldo emerson, for real “Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

No, the first 20+ years of my life I'd rather die than go back to. But the future isn't looking so great again either.

my college years were peak in terms of balance of social opportunity, responsibility, and physical health. the transition to the relentless adult grind of nonstop 40+ hour work weeks with social circle attrition was a bit of a backslide, but assuming i can free myself from the grind before my body fails, no way, i will reach new highs of hedonism and personal fulfillment
