Sometimes I'd rather be ignorant because it's easier to be happy when you don't know how ugly things really are. That's living in a dream world, I guess, but sometimes that just seems more appealing. That said, if it's something about me - how someone really feels about me - I want to know that, even if it's painful.

Ignorance was never bliss. Truth must prevail.
Do not underestimate your own ability to handle the hard cold truth.

My philosophy is as follows: If ignorance is bliss, then why isn't everyone happy?

I think you focused on the opposite end of the issue. there is no need to feel hurt, no matter the knowledge.
If thinking about X causes hurt, we can also consider why we would cause ourselves to feel that way by thinking those thoughts.
