Excluding my occasional bouts of depression, I am normally a happy person. Life is great, things are mostly wonderful, thank god I'm alive. This is a good worldview to be in, but it also grates very much against the worldview of some of the people I'm most around, who are more cynical and pessimistic than myself. This ends up making me unhappy because I can't be happy if they're not happy and I can't *make* them happy, and them annoyed.
