Expert Answer

It's really easy to get caught up in whatever stressful or annoying task you're engaged in at the moment. There are just so many minor adult things we're all forced to do every day, and the flow of the day can sort of lock you into that space.

Expert Answer

Try to track it on your phone. Open your notes app every hour or so and just ask yourself, "Am I having fun right now?" Rank it on a scale from 1 to 10 and just track it over time.

Question

What if I hate my job, the people at my job and the rules at my job do not allow me to be happy at all?

Community Answer

The answer depends on why you hate it. Always reminding yourself how privileged you are to even have a job helps you to be grateful, and therefore happy. Being the sunshine in the office is hard, but it's helping both others around you, and you yourself more than you know. Maybe what you're hating is having to abide by rules, and that is pretty trivial and is not a problem with your work, or people, but you yourself. If your work truly is a terrible place, find another job, resign respectfully, and leave.

Question

How do I change my mood and have fun?

Community Answer

Make a decision to have a different mindset about whatever it is that is happening around you. If you feel bored or down, make a decision to cheer yourself up by finding something interesting or diverting to do and throw yourself into doing it well or completely.

Question

How can I have fun if I'm so busy that I can't fit fun in my schedule?

Community Answer

Instead of fitting fun into your life, try infusing fun throughout your life. Make life a game like it was when you were a kid. You may want to consider reducing some of your activities and commitments as well; not having time for fun indicates that you might be overworking yourself.

How can I have fun at home with my siblings?

Question

How do I have fun in the middle of nowhere?

Community Answer

You can play board games or card games with your siblings. Even better, why not play tag outside or another outdoor game with your family and friends? Not many cars on the road? Play some some street hockey or hopscotch!

Question

What if I have no friends at all, and because of my personality no one wants to be my friend?

Community Answer

Try joining clubs, activities, or sports that you are interested in. That way you'll meet people that you share a common interest with. Also remember that to have a good friend, you have to be one. Be yourself, be kind to others and a be good listener.

Question

In regards to having fun at work, what if people just don't like me much? Even if I'm nice and go out of my way to get to know them, they don't have the same interest?

Community Answer

Sometimes people are just busy or don't want to socialize at work. And you can't get along with everybody. If someone doesn't want to get to know you, don't worry about it. Just try to talk to someone else. If all else fails, find a way to entertain yourself at work (while still doing your job).

Question

What if I feel like I'm too old to have fun?

You can never get too old to have fun. Maybe attempting to do some fun things you did as a kid can help you have fun and feel youthful. If you still feel like you are too old to have fun, try talking about it to your family or friends.

Everyone has a soul! Maybe if you are feeling sad or down, try relaxing a little and make some friends! Go out there and beat the world! Crafting or reading are good relaxing activities, sport will not only keep you fit, it will lift your spirits. Find the right activity and you will be fine.

My friends are kind of awkward and unadventurous. I want to have fun in my teen years, but I hardly get invited to things because I don't talk much. I like being social though. What can I do?

Be the sunshine, and jazz their life up! If they really get you down, bring along more adventurous people, people whom you like and with whom you can express yourself!

I’m a lonely kid with strict parents. How do I have fun if I can't explore the world?

Try exploring what's in front of you. Visit a local spot you've never seen with your family and friends. In addition, make the most of extracurricular activities where you can cut loose and be yourself, away from your folks.

Question

I can't bond with my teacher. Do you have any suggestions?

Finn Kobler

Community Answer

Every teacher is different. You're not going to become super close to every single one, and that's okay. Just be a polite, participative student. Then, spend your energy connecting with a different teacher who appreciates you more clearly.
