What your describing is the same thing as a lie. No matter what you tell yourself consiously your subconcious mind would be in conflict and attempt to assert itself into your conciousness. The stonger you resist this the stronger the sub-concious tries to assert itself. In this state how could anyone be happy? This is what i understand a Freud's phychoanalysis.

Even in your personal case its still a matter of "i think", since I agree with this I was tryign to move the discussion along to the "why? how?" side of things.
