Male Female
To be honest, I have always emphasized to myself that I am happy, but nowadays I have discovered that happiness is not just a feeling. It's not related to anyone, and it can depend on someone's preferences and circumstances. For me, I often feel happy when I receive a cheerful smile from one of my students or hear my coworkers laugh, in addition to watching a scene of two cats.
