"Sometimes people with our trait are said to be less happy or less capable of happiness. Of course, we can seem unhappy and moody, at least to non-HSPs, because we spend so much time thinking about things like the meaning of life and death and how complicated everything is-not black-and-white thoughts at all. Since most non-HSPs do not seem to enjoy thinking about such things, they assume we must be unhappy doing all that pondering. And we certainly don't get any happier having them tell us we are unhappy (by their definition of happy) and that we are a problem for them because we seem unhappy. All those accusations could make anyone unhappy.
The point is best made by Aristotle, who supposedly asked, "Would you rather be a happy pig or an unhappy human?"
HSPs prefer the good feeling of being very conscious, very human, even if what we are conscious of is not always cause for rejoicing." !
