I've been hesitant to send out a group message to my "Exploring Happiness" Group on Facebook because I didn't want to annoy people with the research of my project. But I thought, if they join the group, there should be some interaction talking about happiness or there's no point of having the group. So, I sent out the group message initiating the conversation. I asked my friends what I asked random people with 3 quick questions.
1. What makes you happy?
2. What makes you sad?
3. What makes you feel better when you're depressed or frustrated?
And, results fly in. I knew I didn't need to worry that much. I realized that these worries are always in my head. And I play out the consequences before I even do anything. This totally proves Dan Gilbert's theory on happiness. Likst what Sagmeirster says, "Worry solves nothing"
As I was really discouraged when I see an empty inbox at school for my survey, this instant facebook responses from friend really helped! Thanks, friends (and FB, I guess...)
