Today I was asked, in a polite way, by one of my friends, how and why do I always seem to be chirpy (happy), They said I am always chatty, always smileing and usually the one in the middle of the crowd.
Well this question stumped me , I have no idea, I thought and I thought but I couldn’t come up with an answer, so I just shrugged, what else could I say?
I don’t know why I am the way I am, she wasn’t being nasty, I could tell, but it did make me think….
Am I happy or not?
Am I just after attention? As people found in the middle of a crowd as she put it, well I see those people as just people who crave attention, so am I one of those?
It has confused me to no end, I have never really given it much thought untill today… So please, an insight into why am I happy would be great…
LoL and now I have read this back it seems a very impossible question to be able to answer, so sorry lol
:D
Just a little something to keep your brains stimulated :)
Answer:

Answer:
If you’re happy you’re happy, why do you need to analyze this. You have a gift that many people would love to have - True unconditional happiness. Keep sharing it around, it will brighten up everyone's mood.
Answer:
being happy is usually a good thing.. or so i thought.. lol.. im glad that you are expierencing this... however i have found that when im in this kind of mood.. its something i feel as though i have to do because it hides what i feel deep down... but as long as there is nothing of the sort in your life.. then congrats... you deserve it...
Answer:
aww Thankyou everyone :D Makes me feel a little brighter :) As I said I have never really though about this beofre, or ever felt like I had to have a reason, I think I am just a rare breed (thats what my mum says lol) as I can even have a smile on my face when I am walking down the street on my own. Sophie, thankyou, Yes I have recovered and "touch wood" I will never see that side again, I am not worried about about what others think, and as I said, my friend was not being nasty, she was just as interested in this as I am now, I think she thinks there is a secret of some sort to happiness lol, I just wanted to know why for me, no one else.
Answer:
It's because you're you. You're Emily and you rock! You're happy because you can be. There shouldn't have to be a reason for constant happiness. It's one of the most amazing things in the world, and I wish I could have that. Sometimes... it's easier to just be and let be rather than find an answer to everything. Just... live. Be happy. It's a great thing. :)
Answer:
Im not naturally this way myself, and I remember a woman I know who used to be like you, yet I knew her life had many rough spots. So I asked her one day why she was always so happy, and she said to me, "Because I choose to be." I was going to ask her how she could just choose it when she had so much stuff going on, then I realised it didnt matter why, she made a conscious decision to be happy, and she was, and that was enough. Perhaps you made this decision to be happy too, without being aware of it, its great that you can, I dont think it needs examining too closely.
Answer:
Thankyou mittens and sherryn, I know what you mean, I don't think I was being to serious, don't worry this is not a major problem, I was just curious to know how and why really, for myself... But you are right and I do agree, I shouldn't worry about why I am the way I am, I am just me :D I wish I could share how I feel with everyone here who feel so low, I am sure even possative I have enough to go around, just no way of doing it :(
Answer:
:) You rock! ...and I think you have a great sense of humor Emily! P.S. I think we all crave attention! :)
Answer:
The gospel version and now the silly, teen version for ya...
Answer:
I wish I could be like you... happy and chirpy all the time. I think you are in the middle of the crowd not because you crave attention but because people want to be with bright shiny happy people like you. Let's face it, no one wants to be with a miser except if they are a miser themself. As for me I'm trying to keep good thoughts in, bad ones out... it ain't easy girl!!! so be thankful that you are that way...
Answer:
I think you should definately not even think about it, enjoy being happy, it is a rareity!! Live it as long as you can! If you are happy, gosh you are very lucky, don't waste any of that happyness worrying!!
Answer:
Well I share my happiness 10 fold with all you people at here :) I wish I could add every single person here to my friends list as I just love every individual personality here, I didn't expect so many nice, polite and friendly replies to my post, i know you have to take the bad with the good and and the good with the bad, I am just pleased that no one has had a negative opinion yet, although I still accept an opposite opinion :) Thankyou!
Answer:
Well your just happy! I'm the same since I stopped being depressed I tend to bounce around a lot... At lunch time I found myself bouncing around and singing to the Spice Girls Wannabe :)
Answer:
LoL xbox :) I would never argue with a point well made, also she has autism, I met her at the same activity centre I take my son, Basically she says what she sees, like a child would, not always but most the time... She is ace! but very thought provoking :P
Answer:
Maybe you're just thinking into this too deeply? Be happy, be yourself... you don't want toe miserable just so you don't look like you're seeking attention, because then you would just be... well, miserable. Just be yourself and if you get attention then yay :) It doesn't really matter, being happy is the thing that matters :D
Answer:
Hi D, You seem to be a well balanced person, so being happy and chirpy is quite normal for you. However, I'm outwardly happy but sometimes it does not reflect how I feel inside regarding my life and problems. So enjoy being happy, it is good for you!
Answer:

Answer:

Answer:

Answer:
well i am like you and it is just who i am you don't like it well i seriously don't care that is what i think . there are some who do it but they are the ones who want attention which plan and do it but to you or me we do it without planning or anything that is who you are and what your personality is like.
Answer:
Tell them to watch The Secret :-) .
Answer:
Ithink you are in the middle of the crowd because the crowd is drawn to you.You probably are a generally chirpy happy person and people are indeed drawn to that.You don't crave attention.People just pay attention to you.You may very well bring their day into a better light with your personality.
Answer:
Thank you everyone :) I am ok now, clear headed and all that. I just got a little confused as to what it meant and how to answer, I realise that it just doesn't matter, I am wh I am so even if i could answer that question it would not change me nore would I want to change, who wants to be a sheep in a flock when you can be unique? Not me :D So thank you for kind words, advice and logic, it did help :)
