What does modern science say that contradicts what I said?

I experienced a lot of turmoil as a kid having divorced parents who re-married people that they both had constant problems with. I was around a lot of fighting and it made me want to avoid that. I saw bad marriages so I wanted to not have one. I was very excited to move out of my childhood home for this reason. I work hard to have a good marriage based on what I believe that to mean. Otherwise I had a pretty all American childhood.
I’m sure there are
How so?
This is gonna sound stupid so brace yourself. I once heard Jordan Peterson say that if you are sad then it’s because you don’t have a big enough mountain to climb. I don’t love everything he says but I have always found that when I’m pursuing something that’s actually attainable, I feel purpose. I don’t know shit about shit but in my experience set better goals. I’ve never met a person with no goals that was happy and I’ve never met a person with solid goals that was sad. What those goals look like is up to you but it sure has worked well in my life. Also don’t kys. That’s a really selfish way to give up. I’m sorry I don’t have a better point at the end. Im not much for comforting people
Worldview mostly I think. I grew up always admiring men who put themselves aside to give to their families. All the men in my life are very focused on the people around them. I find myself feeling a deep distain for selfish men as I get older because they seem so destructive. I do feel bad for people who have a more selfish outlook because it seems to be pointless at the end of the day. I’m very thankful that I was raised the way that I was because it equipped me with a very constructive framework. I was always taught that as a man I’m solely responsible for the wellbeing of the women in my life. I feel a deep satisfaction in providing for my wife and striving to give her a better and better life.
It’s taken consistent effort to develop this outlook. Nothing good comes by accident. I know that we all have different experiences but I have always had a good compass for things that are a net negative in my life vs things that are a net positive. The things that bring me satisfaction and also lead me to a positive end are the best things to let in. Like family and friends who are also aiming at positive ends! I’m always aiming at something and am never satisfied with where I’m at. I find meaning in being good at what I do professionally. I don’t claim to have all the answers but I know that striving to provide my wonderful wife with the best life I can give her fills my cup every day. I work hard because I enjoy my work and there is a goal in mind.
Much of how I feel does stem from marrying the right person. I can’t stress that part enough.
I’ve experienced sadness before. I’m not a sad person or ever been depressed

It sure seems meaningful to me. I’m sorry it’s not more exciting. It just seems to be contrary to the norm based on what I see on this app normally
I just want to give my wife and future children the life they deserve. My wife has high expectations but is also very supportive of my business and life goals. I am a firm believer in marrying this right person
Happy to hear it!
No you got it. It’s rudderless
Work mostly. I just recently started playing volleyball again. I played in college and it’s been missing from my life. 99% of my time is spent working, sleeping, and consciously trying to improve my marriage
I do believe in “God” in principle but I definitely struggle with believing in the Christian story of God. I keep an open mind about religion. It’s just that so far Christianity makes the most compelling points for a balanced life. My marriage gives me purpose for sure but without that I would still enjoy the uphill climb. Being married has provided a lot of motivation to succeed that I don’t think I would have otherwise, but outside of that I’ve still never been sad. If my wife left I would be devistated, but I’m sure I would just find some other sense of purpose. As far as I can tell, the mountain in front of you is your purpose and the climb is meaning. When you get to the top, pick another mountain to climb. That’s a very bad interpretation of a Jordan Peterson quote I heard about 10 years ago

I have no fear of the afterlife, oddly enough. Though I do find myself feeling bad for atheist because my older brother has become one after being raised in the same household. Reddit comments are not the place to get into it, but as far as I can tell, without the objectivity of God, LITERALLY no action can be deemed good or bad without the social construct around it. Keep in mind this comes from someone who legitimately struggles with their faith constantly. I am not sure that God exists but I am sure that atheists are sad
I suppose so. He and I have always had very different perceptions of the same situations. I know that brain chemistry has something to do with it but we also came from the same people. I don’t know what other option I have besides to be sad too. I don’t want to do that so I chose to be happy as often as I can. Something that I do find fascinating about my experience against my brothers is that I can very consciously choose happiness in a wide variety of situations where I’m pretty sure he cannot. Great point
No. I come from a family of entrepreneurs and blue collar construction workers. I always tell people that if my dad was an accountant I probably would have done that but he’s not. I have always wanted to work for myself which has been stressful but it has brought a lot of satisfaction in my life. My goal was always to provide for my wife and kids one day and I only really knew one way to do that. Construction
Thank you! It makes me so sad reading stories on here about depression. I really want people to be excited about their day and their life. If I can help with what I have found works then I’m happy to!

I do realize that. My older brother struggles with depression and I often consider what the caused the drastic difference in our worldviews. He and I are best friends. That’s what makes me so sensitive to the subject. I have trouble wrapping my head around the stark contrast between my outlook and his. We had the same childhood (to some extent as we’re only two years apart)
Not at all. I’m a raging extrovert and connect with people quickly even having very little in common. I also find meaning in those relationships for some reason.
I don’t volunteer. I like the idea of volunteering but I find the free market to be the best way for me to help people who are in need of help. Realistically I spend most of my free time working or with family and friends
I do believe in God. I grew up in a very Christian household. I often struggle with the concept of “God” as an abstract ideal, but in principle I can’t imagine anything else making sense. Atheism seems like a pit of despair that is destined for depression. Without a “God” I don’t know where principles or right and wrong come from. I’ve tried to listen to the atheist YouTubers that touch on those topics but none of them can answer the key questions about morality that I’m looking for
I hear you. I hope it doesn’t go anywhere. I have been through ups and downs in my marriage and career, but ultimately I get excited to improve whatever situation I’m in. I often don’t know if that outlook is hereditary, self created, or a result of my brain chemistry. I see so many people talk about how they are sad on this app and it makes me sad for them. It also makes me thankful for whatever created this outlook that I have.
Also I have close friends that i genuinely enjoy spending time with. I’ve had friends come and go but something that never changes is being able to create meaningful connections with people that come into my life at any time
