Maybe. Or they’d be unhappy about something else (genetics or physicality). Being happy is a choice.

I suppose you are thinking of a philosophy like Stoicism? I have read a fair bit but wonder how it deals with cases where other people are incentivised to make you unhappy. That's basically what marketing/advertising is. They thrive on making you want something by whatever means e.g. lying, addiction etc.
