It depends on the person's reason for being this way. They could have been brought up in an environment where they knew no other way than to think of themselves only, or, they had too many things taken away from them when younger and fought for what they did have and gave little in return. That's usually the "bud of the flower" meaning the learned habits or the thinking pattern will make the man or woman what they are today. Example: Joan Crawford the actress (and many like her) made no bones about coming from an extremely poor family and she worked hard at her craft and fought her way up the ladder and hung onto what she had for dear life. One can hardly blame her. However, people that are selfish gain little to soothe the soul and my own opinion is, when my husband and I do fairly well (we aren't rich) then we help others less fortunate. Give and take!

Was there happiness in the 1840?
Sure. Happiness is an individual feeling and people are generally happy.
Why are some people not happy if they are not in a intimate relationship?
My theory is that people like that aren't happy with themselves in general. They haven't learned to love themselves and enjoy just being with themselves. And when they finally do find someone to be with, they really aren't "happy" with the relationship, either. People like that find it easy to be suspicious, jealous and insecure within the relationship, always fearing that their partner will leave them and they'll be lonely again. But there's a difference between being alone and lonely and that difference is in loving themselves.
