    People that research happiness say that experiences are more important than things and that community is also important for happiness. So there is a difference empirically.

      My point was more that there’s a lot of individual variation in terms of what things count for what category and even whether they’re enjoyable or not. You would have to pay me to go to a screamo concert. Other people would greatly enjoy the experience. Furthermore, at a certain point, you have to diversify the things you do. You can’t spend 100% of your free time strengthening your relationships, sometimes you gotta just buy some candy and eat it.
