I can be hard work, quick, crass, cold and overbearing.
I can also be your best friend and empathetic to the core.
The difference between the persona and the person are incredible.
Does everyone front happiness...

Well in five billion years (give or take a billion) none of us is going to worry about anything any ways.
Because all of the earth is going to be obliterated when our sun goes super nova.
So drink up and make merry while ya can!

I'm in and out of relationships, some long, some short, but getting laid isn't an issue, getting a women is pretty easy. I'm fortunate, but don't feel it.
Emo, me? Genuine laugh here.
I couldn't be more mainstream in the looks and actions department, slightly rebelious, on the edge of acceptable but still within the realsm, I'm desirable and I know that as a fact.
And I was being deadly serious.
I know what you mean though. Do you like your neurosis? Are you unhappy about being unhappy? Otherwise you won't be able to change.
edit: and to the whole "what's the point" thing -apathetic agnosticism is the way to go but it definitely doesn't make you happy
I have gotton to the point where I simply don't care about being unhappy, I am a complete introvert and content in being alone even though I know I actualy hate it, I have become paranoid, obsessive compulsive, cynical and negative about everything.
My main for of escapism is books, fantasy and sci-fi mainly and I don't think this is helping, all it's done is make me spend most of my time imagining my life as something out of a book and then when I snap back I realise it will never be anything more than what it is now. The world is a dull, boring, uneventful place full of people doing exactly the same thing from cradle to the grave and the fact that I am exactly the same as them is one of the the reasons I am unhappy.
I shrug off going out when offered, make excuses to not spend time with people because I resent them for not being like me, even though I know maybe being sociable will change my life for the better.
But you know what? I don't care. Why should bother with it when for all I know nothing will change at all.
You know what? Maybe I'm just insane, that would be a much nicer explanation.
You sound perfectly normal to me. I believe that most people have some insecurities that they don't let on about or avoid bringing up.
Stop thinking, and start living

I'm in an almost identical position and if I'm not the happy, bubbly person that some people think I should be then I'm doing it wrong. I'm just not that type of person but I can't be 'me' around them...
Not very nice, no.
Am I wrong?
I have the gift of ratiocination, I know many who don't. I'm logical and pretty balanced if a little biased, but not blind to the facts and realities.
i did that in 2006. it's great for a while but then you start to want the routine and mundane life back (i did anyway) because it's actually a very honest, direct and commendable life and there's only so far you can push your luck, right?
to the OP. i know a few people who you would think were the most confident, flamboyant and outgoing people you'd ever meet on a saturday night. this is usually alcohol fuelled; meet them on a monday to see the real story and you'll realise that it's all just a front and really they're as confident as .... i dunno, someone with no confidence.
I think we're all capable of being a certain way. Such as you've just explained but certain people such as I and yourself and others on here feel it more often than others. Such as overthinking and fronting happiness.
Now how would you go about sorting it? Well just have to pinpoint what is making you feel this way, currently it's college for me and I know that plus certain things from my past but you get over that.
Yes, you are. Different people have different problems that may or may not be linked to your intellect. Regardless, how you deal with those problems is a different matter entirely - I know some incredibly intelligent people that are not phased by anything, and no, it isn't a front.
Slightly cheesy, but I completely agree.
Which sounds very simple in writing, but in reality it really isn't.
Yes! My god, if the people you're around day by day won't let you be yourself then (assuming they're friends) they're not friends. If I have a strong opinion on a matter I get told I'm easily wound up or I say something of a higher intellect I get underminded. It's so frustrating!
