I’m self aware and generally aware enough to be discomforted, but it’s luckily balanced out by my autism debuff ( or buff depending on who you ask ).
I think the awareness depression / discontent thing is like the dunning kruger curve. That is the unaware are mostly content, as someone becomes aware they become increasingly discontent, often falling into some sort of nihilistic depression, then as one continues past that point in awareness they grow increasingly towards being content and feelings of internal wellbeing. This is a generalized statement, some follow very different curves.
It is really fun as you become aware of new things to be discontent about after thinking you were already aware and discontent but moved on in the past. Like a roller coaster of curves.

Same.
Kinda makes me want to start smoking again, but my kids would be sad if I did that.
I vibe with this cat.
Wow are you a professional quote maker?
That cat is my spirit animal.
Yo, I feel ya’.
