If the hedonistic treadmill is real, would that mean that attaining happiness is impossible?

Happiness isnt a permanent thing you can grasp, it is a fleeting feeling that comes and goes. So there is no point in you ever pursuing happiness as a goal
fulfillment of desires just leads to boredom

How do you know that they are simply lying and projecting an image of being happy to fit in and survive?

It just means it's ephemeral not impossible to attain.

"Never should a mortal be called happy until he has died and you have seen how he has passed through his final day before making the journey below" - Euripides, Andromache.

How do you know you're not just a depressive sad sack coping by lying to himself that his defective brain gives him a special insight into reality? Lol

Spirituality, broadly defined as the human search for meaning, purpose, and connection to something greater than oneself, is widely recognized for its profound positive impact on happiness and overall well-being. Here's why:

Sense of Meaning and Purpose: Spirituality often provides a framework for understanding life's big questions: why are we here? What is our purpose? This sense of meaning can infuse daily life with direction and significance, making challenges feel more manageable and triumphs more fulfilling. When individuals feel their lives have a purpose, they tend to experience greater satisfaction.

Enhanced Coping Mechanisms and Resilience: Spiritual practices, whether prayer, meditation, mindfulness, or reflection, can equip individuals with powerful tools to navigate stress, adversity, and loss. Believing in a higher power or a larger plan can offer comfort and hope during difficult times, fostering resilience and a more optimistic outlook. It can help people reframe challenges as opportunities for growth.
