Do you think people today are more unhappy than people were previously? Has modern life made us feel more dissatisfied?

Possibly

Explanation: Back then, there were horrible things going on like now. However, I feel like ever since the appearance of social media, that has made more and more people these days unhappy. Modern day life may be bad for some people like those who have mental illnesses, but if we're basing off of an ordinary person, they still may feel unsatisfied. Maybe because we see these influencers with "perfect lives" and that makes us want more and more.
