I basically ask myself could I make this person happy? The answer is going to be no. If the answer isnt no, then that person has more red flags than I do.
To be fair, I also dont believe that I understand happiness and doubt that my brain is capable of properly processing such an emotion if its triggers did occur. I constantly consume entertainment media in different forms during my free time to compensate for the lack of this emotion. Like, I have fun at concerts, but the positive experience of them exists solely during the performance and dissipates almost immediately after.

I obviously don't know you, but I suspect you are being too hard on yourself. Why couldn't you make someone happy? It sounds like you are capable of enjoying things, but the feeling doesn't linger. You might understand being happy but never feel truly content? That could be because you still don't feel you are where you want to be in your life. Maybe finding someone is part of what you are missing?

I really don't know. But you have a career, you stay in shape, you go out and do things, you have friends, and that likely means that you would be worthy of someone else's time. Am I missing something here?

And the fact that you even care about the other person's well being is good.
