Top 10 Best Synonyms for "Happiness"

For all those people down in the dumps, hopefully this list may help by overloading your brain with so many positive words that you will suddenly have an urge to hug your annoying sister. What word is the best synonym for “Happiness”? Why?
The Top Ten
1 Cheerfulness

Now, you are in a very good mood, and other people notice it. You are noticeably happy and optimistic. It will take a lot to make you depressed or angry in this state of mind.

2 Pleasure

A feeling of enjoyment is what pleasure means. More of an 8 on the happiness scale.

Me most of the time.

3 Contentment

Most people are like this half the time. The other half is when you're the sad version of content, so not very sad, and there are the few odd occasions where you get extremely happy or sad.

I don't have long to live. I will be commiting suicide in 3 hours and would do almost anything for just a taste of contentment

4 Merriment
5 Delight

Even happier than merriment, and this is a nice word to say, too. Not too crazy happy, but a 9. This may be my personal favourite.

6 Glee

Like the movie?

7 Jubilation

Jubilation is hardcore happiness. I'm gonna try to be Jubilated.

8 Joy
9 Bliss

So blissfully happy, kind of like an alternative to glee, this is more peaceful and you don’t express it as much. You might feel this while being massaged, or eating something delicious.

10 Elation

You ever heard the term “elated”? That’s basically this.

The Contenders
11 Gayness
12 Gaiety

This isn't used much anymore, and sadly saying it might have people snicker at you for stupid reasons, but a long time ago it was almost as popular as happiness itself.

13 Exuberance
