Yes, it's normal to like the things you have and do

It's definitely normal to have hobbies you like and things you look forward to.

Whether or not you are usually happy depends a lot on the person. Personally, I'm usually content with just sitting around existing. Just living seems pretty fun to me. At other times I start to feel quite lonely and unhappy, but its usually if I haven't interacted with anyone else for a few days.

But yeah, I'd say satisfaction is pretty normal. If I wasn't satisfied with something in my life I would change it.

self-satisfaction is a meme and the only way to live happily is through other people

To some extent. Obviously most people have some issues, painful stuff going on or whatever that they're not really airing for everyone to hear about. Even if they fully trust you and don't feel the need to impress you, it just isn't beneficial to keep dwelling on what you -don't- like about your life. Many people have some mechanisms where they hyperfocus on what's going well or right at hand and sweep some other stuff under the rug.

Apart from that, yeah, most people would consider themselves reasonably happy most of the time I think. Don't know why that would surprise anyone. Especially if you're young and most people you talk to are healthy, have a lot of freedom and high hopes for the future and what not.

Most people are rarely happy. Most people are also rarely unhappy. Most people are just vaguely content most of the time, because most people don't live their life at the extreme ends of the emotional spectrum.

Everyone has their own problems and issues, but generally if someone doesn't like the way things are they will change it, instead of suffering and resigning themselves to a way they'd rather not spend their time
