They can be recognized by their distinguishing traits of seeking pleasure, of trying to maintain their freedom and happiness, in order to ensure that they don't miss any possibility for pleasure — keeping themselves occupied, and unconsciously avoiding everything that could create negative experiences. Focusing only on the positive side of what the world can provide, they find it hard to accept their own loneliness and pain. Not fully accepting that they can experience unpleasant emotions, they also deny these emotions in others, trying to replace them with something “joyful.” This avoidance of certain emotions can manifest as outbreaks of anxiety or depression.
