when I'm actually happy, I'm so involved in what I'm doing there's little or no meta level of "am I happy right now?"

whereas being unhappy for me always is about disconnection. Something I have to sit out, or stuff I need to do for Better People, to get to things I actually *want*. By definition this solves towards feeling more pessimistic than the situation actually *is*, if that one makes sense?
