Common scene to general talking manners, all seems to influenced by societies. Moreover social peoples considered as more civil and happy, is that true ?
We are a product of our genetic makeup and our environment (gene + Environment).
Environment really go a long way in affecting both internal and external lifestyle. It determine the way we reason, behave and most of the time the type of friend and associate we will have.
It's all a matter of how we go about answering the main question. Traditional thinking would conceive of societies as made up of single individuals so it may seem that people determine a society's mechanisms whereas a more radical, modern outlook would propose that people are "products" as formed by social codes and political institutions. In other words, we are always-already born into and shaped by the world that surrounds us. We may be able to exert some influence but I personally believe it can't count much against dominant power structures unless it's a collective movement.
Your second idea, that social people tend to be happier, may be true. You'll probably find many studies confirming this. However, I think that happiness cannot be an end in itself. Of greater importance is human ethics, by which one defines one's view of what is generally "allowed" or beneficial to humanity. Unfair or unethical outside circumstances might push us toward isolation and avoidance. One might refuse to "mingle with others" based on the proposition that taking part in an unfair world is basically immoral even if it causes damage or prevents personal gain. An alternative would be to "try change the world", which is what inspires a lot of people around the world for making their lives meaningful and changing things for the better.
The proverb around here says: Man is the son of its environment.

Yes: the culture must adapt first to its natural conditions or environment. So the people of coastal SW Florida, for example, think it quite normal that it rains almost every afternoon. For someone from Ajo New Mexico, even the thought of that seems very alien, because it is not part of their (environmental) cultural experience. The society is-- most simply-- the culture of the era or period. It is simply more 'real' to its people because it is more immediately experienced than other cultures, environments, and/or eras. The society affect not only individuals but the very institutions of the society- economy, family, government, religion, and education. In a pre-modern society in a snowy land, you MUST develop the personality of a hunter if you are going to eat regularly.
Society affects our personality make-up. Society provides patterns of and platform for realization, activity and socialization. We react and develop traits based on what we face in interaction on the social plane. Some situations demand certain reactions and traits of us and we thereby sharpen these in a form of operant conditioning. Other situations de-emphasize other traits and this makes us jettison or make those traits unimportant and latent in us. Societal and social factors play a major role in our personality chemistry.
Society has strong impacts on personality, hidden but very effective. A good society is a big opportunity for learning.
Gens give you body shape
Environment give you health
Society give you habits and personality.

Loosely defined, culture refers to the shared values, beliefs and norms of a specific group of people. Culture, therefore, influences the manner we learn, live and behave. Because of this, many theorists believe that culture is an important shaper of our personality. One of the general assumptions asserting the effect of culture to personality is that people who are born and bred in the same culture share common personality traits.

The influence of society is a double-edged sword. As the effect can be positive, it can be devastating. In the case of the emergence of the individual in a good society, it is based on sound principles and principles stemming from his conviction of what he grew up in and thus is a good and beneficial member of his society. If he grew up in an outlaw or irregular environment within society, he would grow up and be betrayed and not feel safe.
Our culture greatly contributes to the development of our beliefs and values.
Dear Nishant
All the traits in the livebeing controlled by genes, and each gene need optimal environment to his gene expression, so the gene expression affected by environment.
The more social communities provide suitable environment and release the genetic potential for more expression of humanity sense.
Good Luck
You would have to adequately define what you mean by 'personality' and 'society'. Though certainly many supposed points of character are merely inherited traits mitigated by the circumstance of available resoures ie people who are raised in poverty or war zones have greater levels of cortisol when developing and have less impulse control generally. We are far less autonomous then we percieve ourselves to be and the social is more of a hoped for projection of collective intent than a measurable variable such as genetics. That is to say what is a lion pride if only the dream of a lion focused through the lens of genetic need.
When people move across state lines, they usually think about what their new place will be like, their new neighbors, their new town -- in short, all the other changes that come with a change of address. But what most people don't consider is the way that the move will change them, too.

Social pathologies emerge and disperse in collective forms, i.e. our mental and physical health is directly affected by the behavioral stimuli that we process from our social environment.
Social and Economic Class Factor
A person is allowed to acquire a variety of different qualities and experiences through the social stratum to which the person belongs and coexist with them as part of his or her personal composition, thereby directing their behavior and interest to specific requirements and subjects according to their preferences and needs.
Personal style
There are many influences surrounding the person, such as culture, religious, social, political and economic terms, and all this affects the personality of the individual.
Personal
Reflect the human personality and the characteristics of the main factors that clearly interfere with his impressions and evaluation of things. The rhetoric of its formulation reflects the psychological composition of the person, reflects the overall principles of the human being and reflects his culture, the degree of influence in his group and society, and the general aspects that determine the foundations of human life as he sees fit. Many meanings and concepts such as the meaning of good and bad meaning, the meaning of the ugly and beautiful meaning, and the meaning of power and the meaning of the weak, to another.
Human interaction with the environment and events negatively or positively, slowly or quickly, in accordance with the accumulation of knowledge exchange with the surrounding environment in the micro and macro
That is a nice question Nishant Gupta .
Yes, society plays a vital role in shaping ones personality, mindset, behavior!
Society is composed of social norms which are to be followed by everyone, and thus, these hold an impact on an individual's persona.

The individual is the nucleus of the society and its foundation, which is with some individuals a smaller unit of life, namely, the family, which is the foundation of society and the link between the individual and society. It is the first school in which the human learns the principles of life and coexistence, and perhaps the whole society is different from his family and his work affects the individual The effect is not limited to family members, but extends to everyone who surrounds the individual and who deals with him. People are divided between "non-action" and "active." They do not accept acts and customs as they are. They do not have personal opinions or try to change either for the worse or for the better.
We are products of our society. We represent the community we come from. People see us as our community and see our community as us.
Based on Psychological Science, a high percentage of each person's character is formed in the first 5 years of life. So the role of parents is very important. But when it comes that, Children must enter the community. And unwittingly, society also affects the personality of the people. Generally, humans are greatly influenced by their surroundings. Therefore, society is also involved in shaping the personality (to the extent that it is).
