I feel like I was much happier when I was a kid than I've been as a adult

Probably because as kids we didn't know know how evil the world is and we didn't have anything to worry about or stress about like bills and relationships etc. All we cared about was playing outside and hanging out with friends and family. I miss the days where we only worried about who's friends house we were going to.

You didn't know know how evil the world is and you didn't have anything to worry about or stress about like bills and relationships because you had a good childhood and didn't suffer from anxiety.

I can't relate to what you say at all because I literally couldn't sleep at night because of worrying about all kind of stuff when I was a kid. In this regard, I like adulthood much more.

I really enjoyed childhood, and I enjoy being an adult. The difference is that now I have a chance to do something about the problems and help work towards solving them. Making a difference brings much happiness to adulthood.

@windinhishair I agree. As adults, we have much more control over what's going on in our life and it's easier to figure out what is wrong because we already have the experience. Furthermore, if things go wrong it's often us who is to blame, so it's easier to take responsibility and reconcile.

I suspect most of us were happier as kids.
The responsibilities were usually things we could handle and we had a lot of free time.

That’s life. Happens to us all. Then we get older and die.

I would never want to go back to being a child.

I learned as a kid how bad people are and can be.
