You find yourself smiling and laughing often. You treat people well (including yourself), expecting nothing in return. Not seeking out happiness in other people. Happy people make others feel better. They light up the world around them with their happiness! It's being excited to wake up every day and live your day to day life. You have compassion to listen to others when you're truly happy. You prioritize your own needs when you're truly happy. You don't take anything too personally or seriously. Your mindset is focused on growth! Failures only seem the teach you how to get better. It's apparent the world is ultimately good, as long as you get out there and try at what you love.

I think happiness for everyone is able to be different and there is no right answer. Happiness for one can be completely different for someone else. What one person may like to do can help them, but it may not help someone else. There music as an example, some people are ok with listening to classical music to help them relax or get them to a calmer place and others are unable to relax with that music. It can be said with many things that are able to make some happy, feel joy, or even relax. Not everything that works for one will always work for someone else.

The only times I feel and genuinely believe I am truly happy are when I want to share that joy with my loved ones. I would find myself going up to them, calling them up, and telling them that which is making me elated. My fingers shiver a little, I also end up stuttering (a personal reaction haha, might not be the same for all) and I think, people around you, if they have good instincts, will easily see a spark in your eyes when you are swimming in the lake of joy. Real joy is only felt when you have experienced real sorrow and vice-versa. It is only YOU who can sense the wave of exhilaration inside you and no one else.

Happiness is defined by the individual. For me, being happy is relaxing with a few people I trust and feel comfortable around. Someone else could be a lot happier around more people or doing more extroverted activities. Everyone has their own "happy place". Happiness isn't just an end game, it can be found in the little things and moments that pass by all too soon.
Personally, I find the most happiness in any moment that makes me smile. It's not always easy to see, especially if you have a lot on your mind and a lot going on in your life. So don't be down on yourself if you just can't see those little moments of happiness. It just takes a little reaching out. Need new friends? Check out some discord servers with people who have the same interests as you! Or even look through a subreddit or two and you can make a connection with people. Want some freedom from family or alone time? Go to a Starbucks nearby and people watch with some tea. It can be incredibly rewarding to simply exist. You don't need to justify your existence.

I know I am truly happy on how I am able to be confident in my own skin. I am taking care of myself holistically: body, mind, spiritually. I am aware of my triggers and urge surf to where I want and need to go. I keep an open mind. I prioritize what I need before helping others. I "Place my own oxygen mask on first". I help others. I exercise. I enjoy my hobbies. I get out in nature and feel alive. I operated my whole system with grace and ease. I tell myself positive affirmations. I believe the affirmation. I feel free to be me. That is how I now I am truly happy.

I believe that it is possible to know if you're truly happy by how you feel when others aren't around. This ensures that you aren't putting on a fake persona for those around you, and you can tell whether you're happy and at peace as yourself, even without others cheering you up. Being true to yourself, loving yourself, just as who you are is incredibly important! Sometimes people won't be around to encourage you, and I hope people can learn to be self-sufficient and thrive, even without people surrounding them. The support others give is important! But try to not put on a happy face for them, they care about how you truly are. We can't be happy all the time, but taking steps towards being truly happy with yourself lifts a weight off your shoulders!

when you can show emotional attachment and good vibes with other people's success and well being, when you can plan your future , have friendship with your past, accepting the present and feel contented, when you have enough energy to switch between creative and logical tasks, when presence of logical ranters dont bother you, when you can halt your thinking just to listen to others, when you can show empathy towards others, when you feel emotionally present for someone in need , when you know your mind is ready to do other tasks rather than thinking of passing time in bed

How do we know when we are truly happy? When we are grateful and passionate about life everyday, and when problems only seem like challenges, that we can triumph over. And you will know when you are truly happy is when you feel love for yourself and others, and by just you choosing to put a smile on your face even when things are not going your way. Whether its paying someone a compliment or performing a random act of love kindness, when you're really happy, in fact you appreciate the little things, there is nothing greater than hearing your favorite song come on the radio or being outside and hearing a few birds chirp.

When it feels like there's nothing else you could possibly ask for, it is then that you're truly happy. Happiness satisfaction in self and one's life, and what it has to offer.
If you're productive, you're happy because feeling accomplished comes with a sense of happiness and satisfaction. We need the feeling of being productive to be able to feel hopeful about ourselves and our future.
Loving yourself is happiness. You come first and foremost and you're the only one who is to stay with you forever. Cherish yourself and try to attain satisfaction and accomplishments during your journey so you could reach the hyggelige :]

When you’re truly happy you feel confidence in yourself. You believe without a doubt that you can make it through anything life could throw at you. Your mind is clear and your heart is light. The world seems brightly colored. You have energy and you have the drive to get things done. You feel loved and give love to the people around you. You smile more than you cry, you laugh everyday sometimes more than once. You feel complete and satisfied with yourself and your situation. You try and spread the feeing to others just bc you want to
