Anyone enjoy being miserable and unhappy?

I've been accused of that when I was depressed & posting about things on forums alot. Some thought I wanted to be unhappy cuz I kept posting about the same stuff instead of doing things to improve my situation. I felt trapped & posting about things on forums helped me get things off my chest so to speak & sort things out.

I wouldn't say I enjoy being unhappy...but sometimes when I'm really upset I prefer to just wallow in my sadness rather than try to turn my mood around.

Humans are emotional beings, we cannot just function like animals can.
Whilst I would love to be happy, happiness is unobtainable, i then have the option to be emotionally empty and neutral, or to experience the opposite from the emotional state of happiness, namely, unhappiness and melancholy.
I find the emotionally empty option to be unbearable, so, in view of the unobtainability of happiness, I find life to be so much more bearable with some emotion, even though its the negative end of the emotional spectrum.

It seems like I'm always crying about something. Whether it's bc im hurt or stressed and my mom joked one day that i liked to cry and you know, it is cathartic but my huaband hates it and it looses its effect on people after a while and becomes like....just another tear fest even though inside you really ARE suffering. I hoenstly dont loooove being sad, however i love the attention i get when i am sad......so maybe that makes me carry out the sobfests a little longer? Or maybe it makes me cry more often becaue i crave that attention....sorry for the ramble, but those are my experiences with miserable feelings.
