I don& #39;t have terminology but I am deeply familiar with this...feeling? Or maybe it& #39;s a state of being?
For me, the reasons are numerous. Several of the replies speak well to contributing factors. https://twitter.com/mykola/status/1298364920359276549">https://twitter.com/mykola/st...

At the most general level, the resistance I can have to happiness is about finding meaning in suffering, not just my own, but in all the suffering that happens in the world. https://twitter.com/mykola/status/1298376688267665409?s=21">https://twitter.com/mykola/st...

Having a goal of making happiness a key part of your personality is inconsistent with what happiness actually is, a temporary emotional state. Like, nobody is really happy *all the time*
Nobody is really a happy person, they& #39;re a person who is happy a lot of the time. https://twitter.com/thunderheadg/status/1298367921467662338">https://twitter.com/thunderhe...

This might be the biggest, or at least most personally significant part for me. Living as a multiply disabled & mentally ill person in a world that thinks those parts of me ar not valid at best and are evil or harmful at worst is deeply traumatic. ... https://twitter.com/theeisforerin/status/1298380581999443969">https://twitter.com/theeisfor...
It& #39;s fucking hard to know how to heal from trauma when it& #39;s so constant, especially in the moment we& #39;re currently living in.
TBH, this is a part of it too. The kind of ppl who casually tell you to just choose happiness are the same ppl who will think they were right all along if they ever see you being happy, so there& #39;s this sense of spite that can kick in. https://twitter.com/rachelneedsanap/status/1298368688609878022">https://twitter.com/rachelnee...
This too. There have been times when I have felt nothing but pain for so long that I couldn& #39;t even remember what happy felt like, & so I started thinking of myself as an inherently unhapp person.
This is maybe the area I& #39;ve made the most progress in. https://twitter.com/tansyblue/status/1298367508894932992">https://twitter.com/tansyblue...

I have felt this way also. Like being happy would make me reject anything that interfered w that happiness. I fear, on some level, that being *too* happy would alter my behavior, that it might make me intentionally ignorant & possibly cruel as a result. https://twitter.com/andvoicewaslike/status/1298367579199864832">https://twitter.com/andvoicew...
