Sounds to me as if he is not TRULY happy, so therefore his actual (UNHAPPY) inner-self is not in control of the cognitive self's state of emotion. Made sense to me, but to each his own...


Well I read about this a couple times and got a different explanation..although maybe similar..it seemed more like a physical psychotic symptoms.. Not just you "don't know who you are" but more of a "state" you are in..

Depersonalization Disorder
Depersonalization disorder is characterized by a persistent or recurring feeling of being detached from one's body or mental processes (depersonalization) and by a feeling of being an outside observer of one's life.
The symptom of depersonalization is the third most common psychologic symptom (after feelings of anxiety and feelings of depression) and often occurs after a person experiences life-threatening danger, such as an accident, assault, or serious illness or injury. Depersonalization disorder has not been studied widely, and its cause and occurrence in the population are unknown
