What is happy?

Is it at all possible that me being manipulated most of my life and growing up knowing how to always fake a smile led me to being the person I am today as far as being submissive, saying yes when I wanna say no, and oh so gullible and naive. Why do I feel like I have no choice other than to do what someone wants me to do and be who someone wants me to be? I don’t even try to do it my way... have I done this my whole life? Who am I really if all I ever am is what people want me to be?
