Me: "Im not happy"
Them: "Then do something that will make you happy."
Me: "Okay then. I will then-"
Them: "Whoa. Hold the fuck on there!"
Me: "Im not happy, but Im afraid pursuing that happiness will make others sad"
Them: "Just do it! I always did what made me happy. Fuck how other people feel."
Me: "Okay then. I will then-"
Them: "Dont do that. It's an inconvenience to me and will make me sad."

There is a difference between being a selfish jackass and doing nothing for yourself. Everything is a balance.
Kinda like food. If you shove bon-bons in your facehole all day and never move your legs you will become a gross blob, while if you don't eat you will become a scab ridden skeleton. Life is a balance.
Do whatever makes you happy.
But your examples need a bit more context. Cause if the thing that you want to do that might make them unhappy happens to be, say, shooting up a school or molesting a child, then you know... Don't do that.

Obviously everything is done in moderation. However I dont understand why these people offer advice, but then change their minds at the slightest indication that their would be an inconvenience to them. Or if my plan is a bit more drastic - they suddenly want to have a meeting that never comes and everything just quietly goes back to the way it was.

Because maybe what makes you happy is horrid. Like what >>18646323 said. Does it involve screwing someone over who cares about you? In your example it sounds like you are screwing someone over horribly. If so you aren't balancing your life properly and are being a selfish prick who needs to re-evaluate why being an awful person makes them happy and find a proper normal source of happiness.

Like I said:
>Obviously everything is done in moderation.
>slightest indication that their would be an inconvenience to them
If I wanted to screw somebody over I wouldn't be telling them about it.
>I will then-
Then what? Stop being so vague.
>>18646307
Obviously you cut out the part of what you actually wanted to do because it's hilariously bad and just you arguing against the advice
>>18646402
Actually I cut it out, because it's not important.
The point of the thread are people who offer advice or encourage you to do what you want, but pull a 180 as soon as it slightly inconveniences them.
>>18646431
Because it's obviously relevant and you are merely pretending for some internet sympathy points
>Just do what makes you happy
>I think I will just start raping babies thanks for advice XD :^)
>wow don't do that
>wtf 180
That's you right there
>>18646431
Holy shit you are dumb. Answer the question. What was the context and advice? Otherwise this whole thread is useless.
>>18646307
>"Just do it! I always did what made me happy. Fuck how other people feel."
>Fuck how other people feel."
whoever you were talking to supplied you with the solution already OP
