Basically, this is just a poll. I want to see how people's personalities differ among each other in the aspie community, since even though we all share a similarity, we are all different people, and therefor have different stress levels.

I, myself, am a very bubbly and happy person that hasn't ever entered into depression for more than an hour. I also make an idiot of myself on a daily basis. Then I laugh at myself because I am a fun person to laugh at, especially at my expense.

Now it's your turn. How happy of a person would you say you are?

I voted for the second option. I very rarely feel upset nowadays to be perfectly honest.

I'm not happy, nor am I upset. Some things make me happy or upset of course, but my general mood is just uncaring.

I average out to be neutral. I'm happy some weeks, depressed or upset or angry during others.

I voted the second option because I try my best to be optimistic but my life does have its flaws.

I didn't answer. I'm a happy person in summer most of the time, and when not, contemplative. I've never been happy during the school year, during which I'm usually unhappy or just emotionally distant from everything. My father has seasonal depression, and my mother says she has had depression at times during her life. I think I'm just the lucky one who somehow didn't inherit the genetic tendency for it. I've never been depressed or suicidal, except for under the influence of ADHD medication(I'm proudly not a zombie). I feel kind of guilty that whenever I hear anything about someone being depressed, one of my first few thoughts is that I'm so thankful I'm not that type of person.

Generally up and down, like a sine graph, but more downs than ups.

Second to last option. I don't get really depressed, I do have times when I'm sort of subdued, but overall I'm an okay person.

I try to be happy and see the positive side of things, but it's extremely difficult at times. I feel like I'm more depressed and fed up with this world than I am happy, but it doesn't help that I constantly think and worry about things way beyond my control. I just wish people weren't so sh***y to one another. I hate seeing them make one another suffer, but it seems to be one of humanity's favorite past times. No, scratch that. It is THE favorite past time of humanity, or so it seems.

I'm depressed all day every day, life sucks and has for about twelve years now. The only time I'm "happy" is when I'm out in public with my few NT friends and I fake being happy.

I'm always at the extremes. I could be so unhappy that nobody could bear being around me, or I could be so happy that people would ask me if I just took some drugs. It seems anyway that most of the people usually make me feel very unhappy and frustrated, rather than happy.

Btw, I've found this video funny:

I would say I am more frustrated than anything lately. Some nice things have been happening lately though, and the future is looking far better than my past.

3 my feelings change every few days or after a week. Sad to subdued to happy and repeat. The annoying part is that I cannot find the words to describe the other moods after I shift moods so I might never know why I feel like this. maybe I should start writing them down....
