Happier every day

I have to confess, I feel sorry for all you contributors who seem so unhappy. Many of you seem to be spinning in circles. Current research has suggested to answer these 6 questions EVERY DAY to get happier over time. Write the answers in a small journal. Then look back in 6 months! Not a quick fix....but heck....worth a try huh? It certainly works for me.
1. What experiences, however mundane, gave you pleasure?
2. What praise and feedback did you receive?
3. What were the moments of pure good fortune?
4. What were your achievements, however small?
5. What made you feel grateful?
6. How did you express kindness?

1. None. I always gave the pleasure.
2. None. I always gave the praise, and feed back.
3. None. I've always placed the success, and needs of others before my own.
4. None, but I've escaped death multiple times.
5. Escaping death multiple times.
6. See answers 1,2, and 3.
Your system is flawed.

Shouldn’t #2 be the praise and feedback you GIVE, not receive? Have you any idea how demoralizing it is to record, every day, a lack of praise, or lack of feedback? “Feedback” is not a synonym for positivity, by the way. Feedback could mean listing the shitty things people have said to you, every day.
