Could it be that people are less mentally strong than they were many years ago?
On the one hand, people using the internet perhaps feel a greater pressure to look good and to appear if their lives are interesting to others (and the peer pressure that many younger people must surely be acknowledged) but on the other hand we do not know how many people suffered in isolation in years gone by.

Similarly, there must have been a lot of people out there who had pretty ugly and bitter personalities but whose opinions were confined to those around them, the people they worked with and fellow-pun-goers.
