If you really would rather die than live, then you would find a way to kill yourself. If you are so scared of death that you can't bring yourself to do it, then a large part of you would rather live than die.

I'm not sure the majority is truly happy. I'd say most live in ignorance. I guess that's better though.

I never said the majority were happy.
I just said that happy people have the same problems and issues that unhappy people have, they've just dealt with it. Everyone has the opportunity to be happy, but it's not easy or fast, so they ignore it and wallow in unhappiness.
Happiness takes years to master. I've been working at it for 6 years and I'm *
really* happy most of the time, but not even close to being a master. Most people give up after half an hour.

But if I solved that, depression probably wouldn't be as severe. |
It's 100% possible to be completely free of caring what other people think about you.
That's different to wanting to be a better person though. It's the process of adjusting your goals so instead of pleasing others and trying to be a nice and likable person, you set great values and uphold them, becoming a better person, and becoming someone who is likable.
Pleasing others cannot be done. You cannot change another person's mind. You can't please everyone all of the time. The only thing you can do is live well, live strongly, and let everyone else do what they want to do. You'll find that people admire this.
