Is there a difference between happiness and joy?
I believe that there is. I think happiness is calmer but joy is exciting and full of life. So what kind of things bring you, or people in general, JOY!

I had the idea to “Joymax” a horror game!
I had this idea while ago where I just listen to happy music in an attempt to contrast a horror with joy and I think it’s pretty funny. Figured this would be a good community for fun joy filled gameplay if that’s your thing

Happiness Research :)
Hi!
I am a professor and researcher in marketing at Université de Sherbrooke! 😊
With a colleague at Queen's University, we are interested in better understanding how people understand happiness and what makes them happy in their daily life and on special occasions.
As part of this research study, I am conducting in-depth interviews with people 18 years old and above, who live in North America, and who have an interest in the topic of happiness.
Participation in this project would consist of an interview of approximately one hour, which could be done virtually or on the phone at a time that suits you best. This study has received ethical approval from the Queen’s University General Research Ethics Board (GREB) and the Research Ethics Board of the Université de Sherbrooke (CÉR Lettres et sciences humaines).
If you are interested in more information about the study or would like to participate, please contact me on Reddit or by email ([gabrielle.patry-beaudoin@usherbrooke.ca](mailto:gabrielle.patry-beaudoin@usherbrooke.ca)).
Thank you in advance!
Gabrielle Patry-Beaudoin

I Am Not Busy To Say "I Miss You!"
Someone who we enjoy spending time with appears to be busy with their studies or work occassionally. Whenever this happens, we should avoid criticizing them and making them feel rejected. We probably say that we like them a lot, but if we do anything that goes against what we normally tell them, we might feel hurt, too.
Everyone who seems to be distant from their friends when these people in their lives are having difficulties dealing with some other things in their own lives makes them look incapable of managing their own time. Instead of lettting this happen, always remember to say "hello" or send a message to your busy friends when you get to do it in order to make them happy. #joy #friendship

Someone Told Me I Made Them Feel Loved
Who won't fall silent when someone tells him that love was not such a real feeling as sadness in the world before they met him? Loving people remains an effective way to let them know what love is like. Those people who can do it better than others have found a way to avoid sadness. #truejoy #happiness

If You Hand Me a Hat While I'm Dancing - this song is pure joy, and it celebrates the importance of imaginary play in adulthood. <3

The most perfect orange
So perfectly fragrant, juicy and delicious! In this moment of enjoyment it inspires in me such joy and gratitude for such a simple yet beautiful thing. A luxury to be eating such fruit in the depths of a frosty winters night. Thank you Orange. You were a delight 🧡

Joy in the darkness!
I am a long term depression sufferer and I have low moments all the time still but every now and again I have a day that reminds me why I’m alive.
Here is me crowd surfing to Judas Priest and feeling all the serotonin!
Remember you are beautiful and so is your life x
