Yes, most of the time, with the intentional hope that it tilts me closer to it in actuality.

^ this, the only affect I explicitly avoid expressing is when I feel sufficiently awful that people would try & offer help

Instead of expressing purely neutral affect, I often express mildly positive affect, because neutral is interpreted as bad.
