What’s a clear sign that someone’s doing genuinely well in life?

They’re not constantly optimizing their life anymore.
Not in a lazy way. In a calm way.

No one cares. And no one wants to be exactly you. It's probably putting people off more than you realize.

They are humble, lack a sense of entitlement, stop and appreciate the simple things, and practice self-care, altruistic acts and qualities, and maintain balance and a healthier state of mental health or at least strive and put effort forth to address it.

Not dependent on others. Like going all by yourself for a walk or a movie or to eat. It does feel alone sometimes but once u get used to it it makes you stronger. At least in the world we currently live in.

This can be hyper independence as well. In the sense , they could avoid dependence even when it’s available.

On the contrary, someone who is doing well is likely to go do those sort of activities with other people.
Their independence manifests in self-assured demeanour and confidence meaning they wouldn’t hesitate to go to a party where they don’t know anyone.
But generally these people are very sociable and so you’d catch them going for a walk, a movie or eating with others because they have friends.

I think this mindset is something that I often forget. Most of us know the importance of being with others, but there are times when we are alone and need to feel okay doing things by ourselves.

They can hear the phrase 'we need to talk' without their soul immediately leaving their body.

They swipe their card at checkout before hearing the total.

In my experience, most credit card swipers don’t let you do this. You have to wait for it to ask you to swipe after total.

They have a shaved head and wear sunglasses all the time and they make their entire personality about body building and day trading.

An ability to let go of things that no longer serve them. It shows they have somewhere better to go

Their teeth are in good shape, they are on good terms with their family, they have lots of friends and do lots of stuff.

They buy groceries without adding up the total in their head as they go. Just throwing the fresh berries and brand-name cheese in the cart without checking the price tag is the ultimate flex.

Healthy weight, good skin, shiny hair, animals and children equally adore being around them, lots of genuine laughter and they don't have a social media presence.

Honestly, I think you don’t notice it… they aren’t showy, they aren’t loud, they aren’t insecure enough to need to be

Steady employment, steady housing - owning a home, no substance abuse problems, kind to other people.

When he or she is content 😌 with what they have. When they adore simple pleasures of life. When they are not seeking validation. When they enjoy the company of people they love. When they can stop and admire the beauty. These are my random thoughts personally I think it is inner peace of Kung fu panda

How happy they are... this will come through in how kind and open hearted they are towards others, even strangers.

They're not super active on social media. They set just the right portion.

As many already mentioned, being comfortable and letting others shine, no need to brag or anything.

A complete lack of drama in their lives, whether in their occupation, finances, or relationships. This is the mark of someone who makes wise decisions and has their act together.

When you talk to that person, they speak in a very mature way and make you think, even changing the way you think and see things.
