I wish that . . . people weren't happy being miserable
I don't want them to be miserable
I don't want to be a cause of their misery

I don't either, but some are, and they like being that way

and I certainly don't want them to be content with being unhappy
:<

I don't think you cause misery

but I don't have any control over those things

you're right, and if you can't control something, you're not really responsible for it

I wish that I . . . could make myself believe that.

Am I the same? -because I can't make myself believe that there is nothing I can do to help? . . . even though the struggle to make those people happy hurts me?

I don't think you like being miserable. I think you like being the person that makes someone else happy and you get anxious when you think you aren't doing it

yes
well, that's true

that makes you pretty amazingly self-less
even if you're trying to find your own happiness by being the reason for someone elses
