people are unhappy because they are not contented o what they have. if your contented on what u have lile money relationships family you will be happy with them.

life is as difficult as it is easy. happiness may increase or decrease in the direction of elections we make in life. it is easier to be happy for the simple living. loneliness can also be included among these choices. people can be happy when they are alone.

Happiness is a hard work. The first step is to find people, who help to you. There are so few good people in the world.

As to what I observe, most people depends their happiness on the outcome of something. Like finances, relationship, goal that been met, etc. So if something is wrong about any of this, people are unhappy. For me, happiness is state of mind that you just have to decide on a daily basis. It's like deciding to smile, you just need to smile. Happiness is also a decision, you just have to be happy.

There are a multitude of reasons people are unhappy and the majority of them are systemic, meaning the system that we live in is the cause, or primary driver in this unhappiness. These are the 3 big issues with our system and the reasons they cause unhappiness.
1. The world of work & money -
Within a capitalist economy everyone is expected to compete to earn money to pay for their lives. Unless you are born with wealthy family you really have no other choice in the matter. There are only a limited number of exciting jobs and a vast array of dull monotounous jobs. But people need a job to live and so they sell their labour for cash even if it makes them miserable. In fact I think in the US/UK/Europe 75% of people (around that) are unsatisfied with their work.... A lot of what people do simply doesn't matter and that can make you feel pretty bad. In combination with this is the stress that occurs when you don't earn very much money, you constantly have to think about bills and rent and food. In terms of mental and physical health implications this is huge. Poorer people generally die earlier and have higher levels of stress.

2. Consumerism
Our current system is perpetuated by continual growth. To fuel this everyone needs to keep consuming more and more stuff. Adverts everywhere constantly make us feel inadequate (basically bullying you) and make us think we can achieve happiness/status/sex through buying a new product. This exploits our really primitive need for social gratification and so you feel happy for a few days after getting a new phone (or whatever) but then you very quickly sink back down to your usual level of satisfaction. It is proven that having new experiences and forging strong relationships with people is what makes you happier, but that doesn't sell shoes so the system continues to distract us with shiny new crap for us to buy.

3. Isolation of cities
Cities are primarily built and developed by private developers. They want to make as much money as possible so they pack as many homes into small spaces as possible and don't give any space to places where people can meet and a community can form. This means everyone just rushes from work to home and never meets new people. People in cities feel really isolated and lonely, even thought they are surrounded by people! We can't just leaeve the design of the places we live up to people who don't care about us...

Our happiness is in our hands and I believe the decentralization opportunities offered by crypto and the applications being built with it can help us take back control!

Happiness is something which comes from inside. So people who are unhappy because they are stressful and sad from inside.

They are unhappy when they perceive a distance between their standards for the world and the realities they encounter.

They compare their self to what society expects for a person of their type or circumstance. Sometimes, that comparison is made to what other people and more precisely, what other people like us have.

Because they are not satisfied of what they have. They are unhappy because they want something others have but not available for them. There is jealousy and hatred in their hearts that causes them to feel unhappy

I think people are unhappy because they are not contented on what they have right know. People tend to think of the negative sides rather than thinking positively.

I think people are unhappy because they are still living on their pasts. They loses their hope and still regretting the things they do on their past.

I was thinking a lot about it, but haven't found an answer...Probably people are unhappy because they thinking too much )

There are a lot of reasons why people are unhappy. One of the reason is that people are unhappy because they are not satisfied or contented on what they have. Or maybe they did not yet reach there goals but for me be contented on what you have as long as you have your family on your side.

I think people are just unhappy because they feel that they have not yet achieved what they feel that they need to achieve in life. Also, the fact that people have no contentment in this life makes a cycle of continuous unhappiness, whereby people often look at what they don't have rather than thinking of what they already have.

There are many reasons why people are unhappy, if I were I would not be happy when I ran out of money

I think this is because they dont have the ability to be contended for what they have.

the reason why there are unhappy person is because they are not contented with what they have

In my opinion, people become unhappy because they are not contented and satisfied of what they have in their life. Sometimes, some people are unhappy because they get so envious for the success of others.

One of the reason why people are unhappy because they don't know how to love themselves, they have everything but they're not contented what they have. Being happy you must be contented whats god give to you. You must enjoy life because we even don't know what happen next to our life.

People are unhappy because they are not contented of what they have. They continuously aim for everything they want. They are not satisfied of whatever is happening in their life. Resulting to feeling incomplete. Once people reached contentment, this is the time people will feel true happiness. A permanent bliss.

There are some reasons why people are unhappy maybe because they are not contented or satisfied for what they have in life..and some reason is failure in life or failure in past lovelife thats why they are not happy..

People are unhappy because of uncertainty,wrong decisions, discontentment and no appreciation not just  of the material things the people have but also of their achievements and accomplishments.

UNCERTAINTY- doing things with no purpose or direction,no proper planning
WRONG DECISIONS- there is no counsel from reliable and trusted counsellors like parents and spiritual leaders
DISCONTENTMENT-no acceptance of the things owned and acquired because they want more even not already within their capacity to have
NO APPRECIATION- unappreciative of the little things around them

People should not just rely on their own capabilities and should ask God's guidance in how to handle things and situation in life. Success is not just the key to happiness but set your heart to God in every day.
