On a scale from 1 (completely happy with the world, your life and everything else) to 10 (absolute nihilist misanthrope who hates the world, everything and everyone on it)

Probably a solid 6 at the moment

But lemons aren't bitter, they're sour.
Anyway, Catman is certainly a sour puss at times.

Could be better, could be worse.
so 1 being positive and 10 being negative... I would say I would be in the ball park of 4-5/10 as I am thankful for some things but at the same time it could be better but then again it could easily be worse to.

I feel like a seven but everyone around me just rounds it to ten.

A 1. To be clear, I'm not happy about everything in my life, and things certainly upset me, but I choose not to be bitter about any of it.

I voted "3", though I couldn't decide on 3 or 4 really.
My main source of frustration is, in a nutshell, people being both (1) not libertarian/laissez-faire enough, and (2) not being compassionate, caring, empathetic, helpful enough.
If those trends weren't so prominent, if we weren't so commonly negatively judgmental--especially about petty crap, and if we would simply decide to structure things differently (we could easily do this right now--we simply need to make a decision to do it) so that we all were to help and support each other routinely, to accept difference, and so on, I would have voted 1.
Whether that stuff frustrates me tends to be correlated to just how much attention I pay to the news, to boards like our politics board, etc.

In recent years I've been able to beat back a lot of my bitterness, depression, false assumptions and cynicism, but I still have flare-ups from time to time. I'd say between ages of 13-25 I went between 7-9 on the scale, these days I'll give myself a 5, hopefully I'll work my way down into the 4s.

But lemons aren't bitter, they're sour. That was my immediate reaction to the Thread Title ... that bitter and sour are not the same thing via tastebuds OR in life attitudes. Lemons are sour but lemonpeels are bitter.
Feeling bitter about something in particular can make one have a sour outlook in general (or not) ... depends. |

About a 4. Oddly, my satisfaction with my own life has gotten better with age, but my opinion of the world around me has been getting lower every year.
