People actually do what they really want to do. If that is different from what they say they want to do, then you have your answer.

  But what people want to do can repeately make them miserable. "want" is not that simple of a word.

    The problem is that if they don't do it, I can't say they really want it. I can see being obsessed with something like that, but that seems separate somehow.

      Can you say that they "desire" it then? How about saying that they "believe it would make them happier"?
      • ArkyBeagle 10y ago
        I think they're doing it wrong if that desire makes them miserable.

          Many people live in ways that they find frustrating.
