Do not try to be happy in a tense atmosphere, that is what is keeping you unhappy. We tend to perceive how we wish to, perhaps your present condition makes you do that. When there is an internal demand so as to how others should be there is this frustration. You should remember everything is as they are supposed to be not as you suppose them to be. Accepting the reality as it is without a demand to change will remove this conflict lastly do not judge yourself if all these unwanted thoughts come, they will die there own death, if you are not so affected by them.
