Interesting POV.
The reason why people are so unfulfilled and fundamentally insecure, IMHO, is that we lack genuine control over anything important in our lives.
Drats... duty calls!

Yeah... I dunno.
First off, what is "control"?
If you took my lifetime earnings and compared it to 1 million Americans who are doing way worse than me financially, I guaranty you that no less than 950,000 of them have made many multitudes more money than I've made in my life. They just didn't make that money work for them... Buying stuff they don't need, paying full price for cable and cell phones, driving around new cars and paying full coverage on insurance, buying more house than they need, having an expensive wedding ceremony, going into lifelong college debt, letting their credit cards rack up crazy balances to buy things they can't afford...
They had control. They had the income. They could have done better. They still could do better. But they won't.
And I'll flip it right back on me. I've more or less been retired since I was 32 years old, and what did I do with that free time? Sure, after years of destroying myself I'm doing things now that should have been done a long time ago, but I could be doing much better. I make good use of some of my time, but I probably have more free time than anybody and a lot of it just gets wasted on the meaningless.
I'm happy when I'm working and creating things. I'm miserable when I'm not. That doesn't keep me from falling right back into time periods where I do nothing, like I'm doing right now and have been for about a week.
Most people don't want control anyway. Most people aren't leaders.
I don't think it's a lack of control that makes people unfulfilled.
Going back to how people had to live before electricity... I think a lot of them were actually "happier" than most of us are today. They were simple times and they were simple people. You just did what you did to survive, or you didn't survive.
Sure, the work was menial, but you were doing it for yourself and the people you cared about. You weren't giving away your time for a pittance to make somebody else rich. You also didn't have a semi-charmed childhood full of playing video games, watching TV and having 3 months with nothing to do and no responsibilities during the summer. The minute you were old enough to work in the fields or learn how to hunt, you were working the fields or learning how to hunt. There were always plenty of things to do, and they all had purpose.
And that's how our species lived for many, many, many years. And we've still got that hard-coded into our genes.
When you love what you do, you're alive.
I think the unhappiness and uncertainty mostly comes from a purposeless life. Too little worthwhile things to be done with far too many people on the planet.

That's closer to what I meant. Evolutionarily, animals were honed by nature to seek out ways to ensure their own, and their species' survival.
Drats... duty calls again.

...OK! Where was I...?
Animals need to feel that there is something they can do to survive.
Imagine an animal ... a dog, for instance. Put it in a cage. The person who feeds it .. sometimes beats it, sometimes pets it, sometimes ignores it. Food and water show up irregularly.at any hour if day or night. Sometimes nobody comes for days at a time. No matter how it tries to dig thru the concrete or chew thru the bars, or how it howls, or barks, or growls, or cries... nothing it does affects anything. Do that, and you'll have a neurotic or psychotic dog.
We're like that in a way. We're dependent on an economy and social system set up by TPTB who really only want to scrape us off . The reason why so many of us feel like useless eaters is bc we are. It used to be that we owned the rewards of our effort. But the reward was taken away and, eventually, so was the ability to find meaningful work. TPTB have been working assiduously to remove workers from their money-making schemes for over 200 years, first by eliminating craftsmen and reducing work to assembly-lines, then by automating assembly lines, and then (they hope) to substitute the technicians, scientists doctors and inventors etc with AI.
So, what can you do to earn your place in society? Not by being really skilled at something . Not by working hard. Not by being smart. Not even by playing the investment game, bc the game is rigged and value is constantly shifted from real estate to stocks to commodities to fiat to ...
And the frustrating thing is, there is PLENTY of meaningful work to be done. You have ask yourself, with so many homeless, so many sick, an environment to heal, and infrastructure rebuild, children to educate, manufacturing to restore, and a universe to learn about .. why are there so many unemployed? There are a lot of things that need doing.

like i posted, there are far too many things that need doing, for immediate individual survival, and for long-term species survival. but the people who need to be reforesting their country, or cleaning plastic out of their waterways, or building better homes and municipal sewage treatment are mining cobalt by hand or burning down forests for palm oil or 'servicing' foreign miliary or drugged out of their minds or lost in that shiny rectangle. having work made m
