"Revealed preferences" used to be called "unconscious compulsions."
The phrasing is revealing, because "revealed preferences" suggests that your actions are somehow in alignment with your true core values, while "unconscious compulsions" suggests that your actions are destructive to your true core values, and you could consider doing some psychological work to realign them.
Psychology suggests the latter view is more realistic, especially if you're not getting any genuine fulfilment from a situation.
It also suggests that unconscious compulsions can be the result of external influences, particularly in childhood, and may not be true preferences at all.
