What is happening when one is pursuing pleasure (or short-term 'fun') despite it not being satisfying? Why does it seem to feel good even when it isn’t good? What’s it doing for us?

It seems too "special-snowflakey" or "prima-donna-ish" to complain that the thing you thought would be fun, isn't fun, or isn't fun any more. It means you risk getting punished for seeking the thing out in the first place.

You expect that other people don't want to model you with high fidelity or nuance. "Can I have X?", where X is complicated or might change, will be answered with "No." You learn to not be a person whose wants are complicated or might change.

Why would you be in denial about your dislikes instead of just keeping them to yourself? Because you expect to fail to keep them completely "secret". If you dislike stuff, you might accidentally reveal that, and then you'd be an "ungrateful prima donna."
