We embarked upon a causal dive to explore acts leading to alarming drive towards self-destructive behaviors. Articulating the entire spectrum, ranging from recipes of long-term happiness to factors leading to self-destructive behaviors, we expanded the three state model of happiness states of people (G (lasting happiness), P (flickering) and I (frustration)) into a 9 stage model. Each of the G,P,I states is further expanded into G,P,I substates. This 9 stage modeling incorporates motivation/intent/human need in activities. Both causal inference and XgBoost classification of 54,066 user tweets revealed that: (1) excessive focus on Work, Money & Economy, Technology & Digital Life, Food & Drink, Politics & Society, Physical environment, Sports & Music & Public events; leads one to transition from G to P state. (2) excessive focus on personal or interpersonal struggles expressed in emotions; personal entertainment (movie, dream etc.), mental health issues leads one from G to I transition. (3) Transition from P to I is similar to that of G to I with the addition of excessive focus on Food & Drink, more individual relationships, slangs, criticism, envy, abuses.
