But right now I am good, feeling good, why people bring in their problems and project on me their shit, since I am happy with what I have ?
You don't really seem all that happy to me personally.

Speaking from personal experience, putting off problems that I had by using distractions only made my issues worse.
So you're not doing that anymore..?
And there are still problems that I work through, but the effort seems worth it, because I feel less fucked. The most difficult part was actually getting myself to actively work on them. After that, there's been a sort of momentum that keeps things going. It's definitely a lot easier to say "fuck it," and not do anything about it. And if that's what you choose, I don't blame you.
How much progress have you made?

Well yeah, I do have up and downs.
"So you're not doing that anymore..?"
I was speaking in the past tense, as in when I did that. As I went on to say, momentum of working on issues has made things easier.
"How much progress have you made?"
It's difficult to answer that question without going into my personal life in detail. I would say I that I've gone from discontent to content.

Note that your mind is telling you that you need to stop using distractions, improve your life, etc. Then you get into this sort of thought loop where you're basically asking "what's the point?," prefaced by the question "why get better?" The arguments following the question seem like rationalizations for this position you are in. Especially when you are saying things like, "why not be as I am however disturbed or unhappy?"
You could just as well ask, "why not get better?" I can give you two reasons to do something with your life. 1. It's what your subconscious is trying to tell you to do because you are cognizant things are shit, and you want them to be better (but you are likely shutting down these thoughts with defense mechanisms). 2. You will improve the quality of your life, you will grow and learn. Shit, you might even find a sense of fulfillment.
I'm not going to argue about whether someone should be a quasi-nihilist or try to improve their lot in life. I find that a pointless discussion.

This post makes me happy.

Why you talk in metaphor ? It's stupid.
