Poe'd? If you had a fulfilling life, you wouldn't feel the need to accuse other people of being secretly unhappy.

  The person simply sounds defensive, trying to convince themselves that not having fun was fun. So the reply made a good point.

    Defensive, yes, but defensive to whom — herself or "most people" who think her high school years were terrible? Imagine: You have a different notion of happiness than most others, so people constantly tell you that you're not happy — even though you are. Naturally, you'll get defensive over time, but then those same people will see that as a sign that you're in fact not happy. Catch 22. In other words: stop being condescending.
