Here is the list of things which make our generation unhappy:

Generation is unhappy because there is no optimism in society overall.

More peace but division in politics makes it worse and animosity in air.

Social media is setting unrealistic living standard which we don't get in real life and get unhappy.


Pornography, same way sets completely different sex standard which makes this generation sexually frustrated in lives.

People have so many followers and subscribers but no real friends who could be there for person as a person.

This generation is trying to meet their emotional needs through the social medias.

This generation's source of happiness has changed from real things to likes, upvotes and retweets.

This generation has started seeking false ego through numbers e.g. likes and retweetsThis generations have lost the purpose of living; it has nothing to be motivated by.

This generation is going from being religious to atheism. I don't say god exists or not but I must say God gives hope.

This generation has found new cheap thrills like porn, Netflix, YouTube and drugs but not real happiness.

This generation is raised with high expectations.The Internet.Crippling students’ loans, which forces students to do jobs which they don't like but do because of huge loans.

Food is another reason; this generation is eating crap in the name of food.

Lack of sleep of this generation is another cause of unhappiness.Indecisiveness gives unhappy feelings. We make tones of small decisions e.g. where to park, getting out of bed, what to eat etc.

This generation has this habit of holding unnecessarily long grudges.we, Humans has this need to be by all ourselves, alone.

But this generation is with someone even when sitting all alone because of smart phones.

This generation is so advanced that we can't afford mistakes so afraid of making mistakes make us unhappy.because of high competition, we are all jealous inside.

Just to maintain a living standard we get ourselves with a wrong person due to wrong decisions.Because of technology the gratification has lost its meaning and value because we want everything instant.

This generation's another cause of unhappiness is choosing the wrong movie, book, song or game to play. There are certain non-branded games with low installs that give you something real.We are born with debts, govt debts, students’ loans, house, and many more.Whenever you feel unhappy without reason play any mind engaging game for few minutes. Don’t know how but it works.ProcrastiNATION is one another cause of unhappiness. Pile of worries.We have this weird attitude of focusing on what we don't have instead of focusing on what we do have.

Again, lack of spirituality and religious touch. I don't say you must follow some religion. But it gives you hope, happiness and reason to do things which give you real happiness.

This generation has started to mix their laziness for boredom.

This generation's competition is against the robots and technology so we have become perfectionist. So, things don't go our way and we get anxious

Now here’s the problem,

Our society today, through the wonders of consumer culture and hey-look-my-life-is-cooler-than-yours social media, has bred a whole generation of people who believe that having these negative experiences—anxiety, fear, guilt, etc.—is totally not okay.
I mean, if you look at your Instagram feed, everybody there is having a fucking grand old time. Look, eight people got married this week! And some sixteen-year-old on TV got a Ferrari for her birthday.
And another kid just made two billion dollars inventing an app that automatically delivers you more toilet paper when you run out.
Meanwhile, you’re stuck at home flossing your dog. And you can’t help but think your life sucks even more than you thought.
Back in Grandpa’s day, he would feel like shit and think to himself, “Gee whiz, I sure do feel like a cow turd today. But hey, I guess that’s just life. Back to shoveling hay.”

But now? Now if you feel like shit for even five minutes, you’re bombarded with 350 images of people totally happy and having amazing fucking lives, and it’s impossible to not feel like there’s something wrong with you.
It’s this last part that gets us into trouble. We feel bad about feeling bad. We feel guilty for feeling guilty. We get angry about getting angry. We get anxious about feeling anxious. What is wrong with me?
This is why not giving a f*ck is so key. This is why it’s going to save the world. And it’s going to save it by accepting that the world is totally fucked and that’s all right, because it’s always been that way, and always will be.

Why compare your life with other people's lives?
What you consider ‘friendship’ is really just your constant attempts to impress people, to be precise that sucks and consumes a lot of your time whilst clouding your judgement with false impressions.
Happiness is the problem by itself mate. Look at this,
The person you marry is the person you fight with,The house you buy is the house you repair. The dream job you take is the job you stress over. Everything comes with an inherent sacrifices whatever makes us feel good will also inevitably make us feel bad.
It' said that we are wired to become dissatisfied with whatever we have and satisfied by only what we do not have. This constant dissatisfaction has kept our species fighting and striving, building and conquering.
