Am I being a snob?

But in a sense, if pursuit of happiness make´s you unhappy, maybe letting go of that pursuit is the only way to become happy in the end?

Yes. As I said, you first need to figure out what really does make you happy. For some people, it is something considered conventional, like a monogamous relationship with two children and a stable job. For others, it can be far different. Happiness for some can mean being alone, having no family, or constantly traveling and having no home. Being happy can mean being polygamous and never having a permanent partner. Some people will never be happy unless they feel wealthy, while others do not need a single physical possession to be happy. Everyone is unique in this, and the challenge is mainly to determine what truly makes us happy, not what we're told should make us happy. Most societies have generated 'ideals' of what a person should be and what they should do with their lives. I am sure many of us know people who have done all these things, but remain unhappy. Those people have been pursuing things which they have been told will make them happy, they have not examined what it is that they really enjoy. If it makes you happy to reject many aspects of your society, customs, culture, and family, then so be it. Just make sure you're correct about it before you commit yourself irrevocably to one particular path.
