I mean you have to retreat inwards to smaller, more private realities to experience substitute emotions which are not quite like joy. More like escapist bliss.

Emotions and individual realities are hardly this modular.We're not plug n play devices. Ultimately "happiness", or any version thereof which we hope to maintain over a long period, must emerge from inner development and awareness. If you're looking outward for bliss, good luck.
