Well I agree that anger/self-pity rarely solves anything. But, with respect, there are a few things in there I can't say I agree with.
(I'll address these out of order so I don't bury the lead.)

I might be misreading what your saying here, but if I'm not, then the problem with this is that some people mightn't approve of violating others' personal space like that.
Some might also argue that it's a very poor foundation to build a relationship upon, and that nothing good is likely to come of it, since that initial action has effected the morals of the whole relationship.

This is much easier said then done; and by that I don't merely mean that it's hard work; I mean that I suspect it is essentially impossible.
I think I'm pretty good at blocking out the rest of the world and making myself happy. I suspect I'm much better at it then most people in my age bracket. But for all my effort to this end, I've never been able to completely sever my awareness of the world around me. The ugliness and emptiness of the world still brings me down. I think a lot of other people would agree with me on that.
So to say we are solely responsible for making ourselves happy is a bit of a stretch, because so long as we are able to perceive the real world around us - even subconsciously, it will govern our happiness.
I've been seeing videos recently about how today's kids (I think their called "Generation Alpha"?) are so tied in to their devices that they've practically lost all consciousness of the world around them. They may be a differant kettle of fish. But to older people, like me, I think that awareness of the outside world is a curse we are stuck with.
