Does increased self-awareness make people less happy?

I think being more aware can make people less happy at some point

the more aware u become the more u notice and analyze things and you start thinking more about the future,time, and life in general. don't get me wrong I think awareness is a good thing
I just think there has to be a balance. too much of it can turn into overthinking and it's hard to control where that line is.

at the same time I've seen ppl who seem very self-aware but are also at peace with their lives, they understand a lot but they don't let their thoughts consume them. I think that's probably the healthiest level of awareness

what do u think?
