Do you dwell on either emotion, or make decisions to address any imbalance, whether consciously or otherwise....? Would you change the balance anyway if you could or are you "happy" being both....? Does one compliment and validate the other in a way....?
If you got this far and don't have anything to comment then as per usual, please send vag or tributes of any of my pics, or flirt or wink or PM the person you fancy off this thread....
Have a great Wednesday you beautiful lot! I think I will try too.... 
Much love 
Nip x | |||

"Today is the start of my shark week so there are a lot more things in my angry list haha but at the moment it's mostly narrow minded, obtuse, stubborn conspiracy theorists that are driving me up the fucking wall... As for happy things I can never not smile and feel all warm and tingly at the sound of a child's laughter and videos of people rescuing animals and those animals going on to have happy lives with their forever families/back in the wild "Awww cool, yeah things and people that you can't change can be the most frustrating ever - do you tell them what you think or just ignore, but CAN you ignore....?

" My lack of patience makes me angry, in general it's my own frustration on not being able to accomplish something. Things that make me happy, my kids, especially when they're kind of being naughty but funny. Being out in nature by myself has always been my go to route to happiness. And laughter be it with family or friends just makes life better I don't tend to hang on to anger too much and I rarely loose my temper. If anything tend to back away from it which sometimes makes people think I'm ok with a situation. I don't think it's a choice between anger and happiness. I think anger as long as it's not directed towards people is a good way to release pent up emotions and may feel happier as a consequence. What are you Nip? Mr angry or Mrs happy, all sounds a bit Mr men to me "Naughty kids are brilliant! I wish my girls was naughtier.....
I'm both, I think if you're not both then you're suppressing things because both are heavily influenced by external factors. I deliberately chose two emotions that weren't really opposites or comparable, just wondered how ppl would react and fancied studying folk a little.....  | |||

In answer to your question, I was trying to mimic Mr Men and then I wanted to go for equality so I initially titled the tread " Mr/Ms Angry Vs Mr/Ms Happy" but it looked really confusing and I already know I can be very confusing so I went for one of each.

I hear you. Is there a "proper " happy too do you think....?"I think there are varying levels of happiness, but all are "proper" . Some will be temporary, like when I'm reading a book, eventually someone will interrupt me, I'll need to stop to do something else, or I'll just get tired of reading...so that is lower level happiness that lasts for the time that you're doing something. What I interpret you to mean by "proper" happiness are the longer lasting things - for example loving someone, even when you're not together you know that that love is still there, it's more of a fixture in your life, an ever-present happiness if you like. | |||

"I don’t feel like sharing my emotions today, however, I’m intrigued as to why you chose Mr Angry and Mrs Happy? Are the men always angry and the women always happy?
(Sorry for my irrelevant contribution to your thread).
Share your emotions or I won't share my answer to your question..... x
Silly pointless things that make me angry:
Bad drivers (I struggle with disproportionate road rage), rudeness/dismissiveness of others, being patronised (the latter probably makes me more irritated than angry).
Serious things that make me angry: abuse of vulnerable people and betrayal of trust would be the two main ones.
Happy? Lots of things! My family, friends, nature, time to relax and recharge, feeling as though I’ve accomplished something meaningful, making others happy....
And in answer to your question about balance; no I wouldn’t change it. Negative emotions are equally as important as positive ones - they tell us important things about ourselves and our values. If I’m feeling angry, it’s for a good reason and there’s something that I either need to change, or let go of. So long as I have ways of managing and coping with the bad feelings, it’s all good.
Why didn't you categoriae happy into serious and silly? Can happiness not be pointless? Can angry actually be pointless? Is pointless pointless?
In answer to your question, I was trying to mimic Mr Men and then I wanted to go for equality so I initially titled the tread " Mr/Ms Angry Vs Mr/Ms Happy" but it looked really confusing and I already know I can be very confusing so I went for one of each. And since I'm a man, I gave men the negative so as not to push the gender too much but also with the idea that hopefully someone would spot that! Well done!
Ahh I see.
No I don’t think happiness is ever pointless, I think it’s amazing and should be made the most of, no matter how small. I categorised anger as I felt it important to acknowledge that at times, I get angry at the “smaller” stuff that doesn’t really have any lasting impact on my life or relationships - and it’s usually forgotten without minutes (like road rage). The bigger stuff that can do lasting damage, like abuse or betrayed trust, that’s not so easy to just forget about. However when I smile, however “small” the thing I’ve smiled about, I tend to remember it. That’s why happiness to me is never “pointless” or silly, but anger can be.
But when someone says they like my bum for example it might make me smile, but in the scheme of things it's hardly comparable to my daughter's laugh....
True. But I still wouldn’t call anything that made me smile “pointless”. There’s of course different levels of emotional significance to things that make us feel happy. But for me, when I’m smiling, whatever the reason ... I’m winning. "I could debate all day with you on the existence of levels and scale in every emotion. But tbh I'd rather be happy and look at your avatar..... . I choose happiness, and I have no idea why.... | |||

"Stupid shit like who broke the thermometer on the barometer and didn’t mention it and who scratched the car but didn’t say. Serious shit like the abuse of power and the politics of self interest and plutocracy. That kind of anger tends to be used more positively in that it is fuelling innovation for my work. Can you learn from the car scratching and thermometer too? Like to choose where to leave things, who to trust, and to pay attention to surroundings etc? Oh yeah for sure but they are simple solutions compared to the serious shit. Also I really should conserve my energy and not sweat the small stuff. Tru dat! Often serious solutions are simple too, just people and personality gets in the way.... "To an extent, however the stuff that is exercising my grey matter I right now is complex and working out what little contributions I can make isn’t simple to me yet | |||

Thinking about it, there aren't many things that make me properly angry....peeved, slightly irked, or disappointed, there are plenty of things.

I hear you. Is there a "proper " happy too do you think....?
I think there are varying levels of happiness, but all are "proper" . Some will be temporary, like when I'm reading a book, eventually someone will interrupt me, I'll need to stop to do something else, or I'll just get tired of reading...so that is lower level happiness that lasts for the time that you're doing something.
What I interpret you to mean by "proper" happiness are the longer lasting things - for example loving someone, even when you're not together you know that that love is still there, it's more of a fixture in your life, an ever-present happiness if you like. "Do you think that too much happiness that's not "proper" could be harmful or give a person a false perception of the world....? | |||

" My lack of patience makes me angry, in general it's my own frustration on not being able to accomplish something. Things that make me happy, my kids, especially when they're kind of being naughty but funny. Being out in nature by myself has always been my go to route to happiness. And laughter be it with family or friends just makes life better I don't tend to hang on to anger too much and I rarely loose my temper. If anything tend to back away from it which sometimes makes people think I'm ok with a situation. I don't think it's a choice between anger and happiness. I think anger as long as it's not directed towards people is a good way to release pent up emotions and may feel happier as a consequence. What are you Nip? Mr angry or Mrs happy, all sounds a bit Mr men to me
Naughty kids are brilliant! I wish my girls was naughtier.....
I'm both, I think if you're not both then you're suppressing things because both are heavily influenced by external factors. I deliberately chose two emotions that weren't really opposites or comparable, just wondered how ppl would react and fancied studying folk a little..... "Don't think it's heavily based on external factors but in yourself. I think you choose to see the little things that make you happy same as if someone is annoying you, if you choose to fight back and get angry or let it drop | |||

Is it possible for someone to only ever feel transient happiness? I suppose it is, but then it's all very subjective - what I see as transient, someone else might see as more permanent. | |||
