They do know what's best...for themselves. They probably want something from you, and they are going to try their damnedest to make it happen because it's "good for you" and will "make you happy."

My advice? Go with your gut feeling. It won't always be right, but intuition is your mind taking factors into account much more quickly than you can consciously process them. Thus, since it is taking more factors into account, it will be correct more often than your conscious decisions that contradict your intuition.

Plus, it's your life, and if you want to live it in a way different than the authority figures want you to then they have no right to bar you from happiness, provided it doesn't come at the expense of the rights of others to do the same. You're not stupid. You have a computer inside your skull specifically tooled to seek what is in your best interest. It would be foolish not to use it.
