I am not myself immune to misunderstandings of behavior just like everyone else from time to time - and you've touched on one of mine here:
HAPPY or NOT HAPPY.
I really have a difficult time placing many of your examples out of the "not happy" bucket which I fear makes me look as if I'm just as inflexibly black and white as those I accuse of being inflexibly black and white. I'm really not! Its just that of all the infinite shades of gray in between, if you're not shooting for "happy" as an end game, what's the point? What else is there?
