When something good happens I am able to recognize it as good, and I know that happiness is a normal response to something good happening, so I am happy. But I am happy in a kind of by-definition way which has nothing to do with experiencing the sort of emotion which I think is supposed to accompany happiness. That is a kind of a failure, and failure is supposed to make one feel unhappy, but I already feel unhappy, so being happy makes it only slightly worse.
