It's the single most rewarding thing on earth.The only major life goal I have yet to achieve is to start a family, and it genuinely terrifies me to think that I wouldn't be able to feel satisfaction/fulfillment from that (everybody tells me it is life changing... but what if something is broken inside me and it isn't?)

Not everyone feels happy and fulfillment in a marriage. It may relate to you, your partner or both. My marriage did not work and I lost a son in the process.
Lack of happiness may come from lack of achievement, self-esteem, and emotional issues. You deserve all the people and things you have in your life. Happiness has nothing to do with that.
I am older now and going through what I consider some of the best years of my life. I had my career (military) and family. I truly enjoy time alone, peace and quiet. Much of my happiness these days comes from helping others achieve their goals and rescuing animals. Yes, I'm the guy who rescued and now raises 5 donkeys. The donkeys have also done a lot to better my life.
I have failed academically,socially and athletically so im not that happy
Good news is im emotionally numb due to my background so i dont care that much
Always remember just how awful the lives of others are and have been throughout history. For every complaint you have someone else would die to trade places with you. Right now I have a great gf, steady job and get to do a lot to activities. Life is good. Plus I get to sherdog.
I got to become a black belt on sherdog.
Things that prolly aren’t for me, having kids and starting a family. I may not get married for a while, in the rare case I do. I prefer being alone a lil bit for my own time more than most.

I think I can be too selfish with my own time. But hey, I never get sick of myself.
