Lets put all our 2018s to the test, and put them into perspective.

I am not asking: how was 2018 for humanity, but how was it for you?
Were you healthy, or were you ill?
Did you lose someone who was close to you, or did find someone to be close to?

I, like many others I suppose, lost someone this year, I cared for so much it left deep scars.
I am (happy and priviliged to be) in good health though, and I pray you are too,
and if you are not, I pray 2019 will make you feel so much better.

Perhaps 2018 has been good to you?
Share with us your joy.

In the poll, I suppose we should end up with a normalcurve.
Or maybe not.
Perhaps sgers are particularly lucky, or unlucky.
Perhaps they feel more or less happy then one would statistically expect?
Perhaps 2018 was just a great or terrible year for everyone?
Lets find out.

tldr 2018 was not kind to me. I hit some new lows and not enough highs.

January: A girl I'd been spending a lot of time with broke my heart. I never got closure. Sometimes I still think about her even though I know I shouldn't.

February: Got tickets for a local nerd convention and spent a 3-day weekend with one of my best friends. We cosplayed as Shy Guys, plus I got to meet Ian Sinclair and Dameon Clarke.

March: I lost the second-best paying job I've ever had. It wasn't a lot of money nor was it the career I wanted, but for the first time in years I had entertained the thought that maybe I would have disposable income.

April/May: My laptop died. Getting a diagnosis became a month-long process that ended with the knowledge that replacing it was going to be expensive and would only get me a used part with no guarantees on its lifetime. I ultimately decided to backup my files to an external drive and make do without a computer. However, this left me cut off from the people I cared the most about. I found myself on a constant downward spiral into a deep depression. I'd been cut off from my friends, could no longer afford my bills, was back to living with my parents, and had to consider the possibility that I might not ever be able to pick up the pieces.
...I think I would consider those few months to be one of the lowest points in my life so far.

June: E3 came and went. I'm a programmer and QA tester, so I used the opportunity to get the names of more dev studios I might want to apply to work at. (and also got hyped about some upcoming games)

July: My efforts in June were not fruitful and I was once again informed I lack enough experience to get an entry level position in my field (yes, I know what I said). This brought about the Downward Spiral 2: Electric Boogaloo.

August: I found my mom's old laptop. It's still running on Windows XP and can't play any decent games, but it's a step up. I found a new Discord server thanks to this site and made some new friends there since then. I think this was also the month that I joined a couple dating apps. Got one date out if it so far, but it didn't lead to anything.

September: ???

October: Started to fully embrace the idea that "I'm here for a good time, not a long time". Still undecided if that was the best decision, but it's all I've got. With that in mind, I began exploring more erm...physical...pleasures. This also didn't amount to anything. Took part in a train organised by the owner of that discord server I mentioned earlier. Come to think of it, Oct was a good month for me in regards to winning GAs.

Novermber/December: Going into the off-season, so my hours have dropped considerably and once again I find that I'm in need of yet another new job. This has become a reoccurring pattern that I'm not please with.

Overall: 3/10, maybe a 2. Was pretty bad, but definitely had chances to be even worse.
sorry for the long post, have a picture of Chloe. She's an attention whore.

I would give it a 6, it didn't went according to plan, I'm fucking exhausted, I've yet to solve a number of things that I'll have to deal with next year and I found out that my depression has been supressing large chuncks of my memories aka the last 5 years are a bit "fuzzy" and there's more holes that what I expected. Also november almost manages to kill me with stress.
But thing sorta worked out in the end and it was way better than 2017, that was a real shitshow.
