Blackpill Hedonic Blackpill Theory (Happiness)

[Fireside99]

The hedonic treadmill theory suggests that our happiness has a set point and that positive and negative events will eventually even out and we will return to our baseline happiness. This means things like getting a girlfriend won’t mean increased happiness forever. Considering this, getting a romantic relationship will definitely increase happiness and it’s definitely possible for to stretch our baseline happiness.
The question is, do you believe this theory to be somewhat true?

There are definitely certain life events that will affect happiness levels permanently. It is what it is, just LDAR buddy boyo.

Permanently seems like a stretch.
