how do you feel most of to time [FONT=Arial]i feel angry most of the time probly because ..............

hmmmhmmhmmhmm..i usually feel either mad, great, or depressed. those are my 3 feelings.

lol thta smiley rocks

I feel like I'm losing it most of the time...but that's probably just cause I hang out with Fallen Element too much and I'm beginning to lose all sense of identity...damn you for stealing my brain! Damn you!!!

I often feel angry or confused. I mean, people in general just annoy me if they talk to much and my parents are constantly nagging me. Also, I just feel slightly lost in life right now...

Generally confused

Generally happy, moving occasionally into fits of extreme misery.

I'm very sensitive in general and I'm often upset. Now I'm pregnant and it's like my day isn't complete without crying about like a cute puppy or something completely random and not that bad.

Good. Usually good. Hardly ever depressed, but unfortunately, rarely "Great!"

Still, I like being me.

Well today im GREAT!!! Because I Have a new girlfreind

What happened to the old one?


I have a feeling of general indifference most of the time which can swing to happy, glum or angry depending on the stimulus...mostly glum...

at the moment i feel confused and sad but ive been better, i want to be happy again

Whenever I'm asked how I'm doing I answer "pretty good". (Even when I feel like a total and completely worthless bag of crud. Try it some time.) Now when I say it I'm not lying. I really do feel pretty good! Being in love r0xx0rz!

Oh, right now I feel awful... truly awful. I finally found this really amazing boy and I loved him for all he was worth. I mean, he wasn't fit or anything, but I still loved him... And then my mate came along and was like... "oooo I fancy him soo much". But I knew that she just said that because she knew that she had a chance with him and was forcing herself to believe it... and now the boy has confided that he fancies her...

I’m hiking through a swamp. There is beauty here, but I can’t let myself fixate on it, too long, because there is danger, here, as well. I keep moving. I’m tired, and footsore, but I keep going. Every so often, when things appear okay, and I feel relatively safe, I stop for a rest. But if I rest too long, the danger Catches up to me, and I have to struggle to get going, again. I feel like it would be so good, just to give up, go to sleep, and never have to face the swamp again. But I keep going. I don’t know what I’m looking for, and only hope I’ll know it when I see it. But, so far, that hasn’t happened.

I stop, occasionally, distracted, but know that I’ll soon have to tear myself away, because navigating the swamp demands my attention. And I’m angry at the swamp for taking away the brief moments of respite that are the only things that make my life worthwhile. And I feel weak, because I see others dealing with the same swamp, but far more successfully, and with more purpose. Meanwhile, I’m growing older, and my resources are wearing thin… I know that one day, I’ll miss seeing that bog, or an alligator will approach me on a blind side, and it’ll all be for nothing…

Pessimistic, I know, but it is really how I feel. How I’ve always felt: Every comfort gives way to reality, sometime. Every source of aid eventually dries up, and I’m alone, again, me against the world.

Oh yeah, I know that feeling alright

Yeah, Matazone is one of the bright spots of my life, right now... I live for trolling the forums, and seeing how others react to my creative madness... *Sigh* but it's for all too brief a time...

Just came back from a funeral, so I'm not about to say I'm steller...but I think I'm more dazed than sad.

I'm tempermental, but I don't have many emotional highs or lows, really. I'm never chipper rah rah, but I don't get seriously depressed, either. /shrug

Life's not particularly good or bad. This is fine. I like equilibrium.

Right now, I feel awful. I've put a lot of energy into trying to be entertaining on this forum... I've even lost sleep trying to come up with new ideas. And when I've been sad, or depressed, I only tried harder. Most of the time, my efforts go unnoticed, and it bothered me, but I persisted. Tonight, I read the "Questions only" Thread, and was surprised and hurt to hear people opine that I've been spamming, and I should be stopped. The tears are flowing as I write this. To be unappreciated is bad enough... effectively being told I should take a hike, hurts more than I can say...

And now because of this I feel really guilty and bad. It was meant in a light-hearted jovial manner. I didn't mean it to be taken seriously. Maybe I should just give up trying to be funny, as everytime I try something like this happens.

Sometimes I feel like braiding flowers into my hair and dancing around singing showtunes, and other times I feel like cutting myself and painting with my own blood.

So I'd say a mix between confused and losing it.

I feel like Mike. That's about it.

I live in my own, painful, but familier, little world...

Is it just me, or does it seem like there are a lot of hurt people here, more than one would think is expected by the number of total people? Does Matazone attract those in pain? Does it allow people to express it more than they normally would, thus meaning that it is more realistic here than elsewhere?

Pain is a condition of life, I'm afraid...

I feel like Mike too

Meh, I'm weird. I wax and wane depending on what triggers me......and then I depress people......one specific person.....

But, I can be happy and upbeat too.

I will admit that I'm in a better place than I've ever been in, before... but it can still be a bit bleak, at times...

Confused, Losing it,and depressed most of the time. I constantly worry about things that aren't worth worrying about, but they seem worth it to me. I will lay down on my bed for hours, just staring at the ceiling and trying to figure things out. I think the worst thing about feeling all of this is, beacause of my age, people will just look at me and think that I'm just trying to get attention, or being rebellious, and I've actuly had people look at me and say things about how "cute" it is that I think about things that "a normal girl your age doesn't" and then act like I would really rather be putting on make-up and playing with barbies...

I would be feeling like my heart's been ripped out and I'm disconnected from everything, yet again. However, I'm doing my best to try to be numb. I wish I could be numb......and that he would talk to me. But that won't happen. So I'll wish for numbness.

Don't wish to feel numb, beacause feeling things, even if they are bad things, is good for you.

I'm too emotinal as it is. It'd be better off, for myself as well as for someone else, if I just didn't feel for a while. Having your emotinos constantly strained can do that to a person. I'm tired of feeling, because whenever I do, it leads to my own downfall.

Feeling isn't the problem. Feeling bad is. Feeling bad is temporary, unless you have depression... and then you should see a doctor. Shut down, for awhile, if it helps, but never wish away your feelings. They're a part of who you are...

That's what I did for most of this weekend, and then I talk to him and all this feeling comes back. Not all bad, mind you, but it seems like he's one of the few who can make me really feel. He draws out the most emotion from me of them all. I love him so much, but it seems that love is pain.

LOve isn't pain... Denial of love, or betrayal of love... THAT is pain...

Love with complications is very much pain

Unfortuneately, we live in a universe full of complications...

Therefore, emotion has a much higher potential to be painful- probably much more so for myself because I'm so emotional all the time.

No. I think all people have their own personal pain and trials. It's just a matter of whether they're open about it or not. The people here might seem more conflicted than might be expected simply because it's an environment where it feels safe or comfortable to be frank about it. Most people tend to hide their troubles in public.


I feel very emotionally cut off most of the time. But I think I prefer it when I can feel things more sensitively, because not being able to feel pain conversely means not being able to truly feel happiness, and not being able to cry makes it difficult to laugh. Everything has two sides. Love may be painful, but if you didn't get something out of it, nobody would ever love.

I Sort of agree with artist.unknown on this. It's more of the pure fact that people on matazone are, in genral, comferting. We don't hide our feelings, which is one of the things that I love so much about matazone. We arn't sweetly fake. We don't pretend to feel happy constantly. As strange as it sounds, I'm sort of comferted by people who are honest with not just themselves about their feelings, but with others. Also, If I don't know someone in real life, I tend to feel more at ease, since I'm being judged by how I act, and not how I look, or by my reputation.

Well, I'm one of the three percent who feel great nearly all the time.

It takes much more effort for me to to be unhappy and I'm lazy.

THe sad thing is that this is the best I've ever felt, and I'm still not happy... I'm not unhappy, but I'm not happy, either...

Well, I'd vote, but my choice, Content, isn't on there.

I would have to join Snugglebum as one of the people who feels good most of the time (or at least, not bad ^_~). I do have occasional moments of intense depression, but they're not permanent.

I've found that over the years, I've become less and less depressed so often, and more content with life. I've almost totally stopped setting the bar too damn high for myself (I'm still a bit of a perfectionist, but nearly so bad as before); I've learned to remain detached from making moral, emotional, and judgemental decisions, which has helped a great deal; and I've lessoned the amount of stress I feel (which is good, because whenever I get stressed, I get severe headaches, as well as a noticable and uncomfortable rise in body temperature). I'm not sure how I did this, but I did it *_*
