An example would be when others are expressing happiness in a social situation, and one would expect to join in but just cant. A horrible feeling comes back. Do others feel this??

You've come to the perfect place then..
It doesn't get any better with old age if one is wired that way I'm afraid.....
Just hang in there and maybe love will set you free. It is the only thing that has that special power.
Everybody is lost,
But they are pretending they are not...
I know why you're dreaming, because it's the only escape
What makes most people feel happy leads us headlong into harm.
I recommend reading Post Office by Charles Bukowski.
"Come,
let's scatter roses and pour wine in the glass;
we'll shatter heaven's roof and lay a new foundation.
If sorrow raises armies to shed the blood of lovers,
I'll join with the wine bearer so we can overthrow them.
With a sweet string at hand, play a sweet song, my friend,
so we can clap and sing a song and lose our heads in dancing."
- Hafiz
