I’m not sure about that Lucille. When World Happiness ratings come out, each year places like Finland and Denmark come out on top. It’s puzzling. I’m not totally sold on those rankings, especially when I hear so many people wishing winter would go away. 🙁 (I like the winter, but I know I’m in the minority) LOL Maybe THAT is the reason they’re so happy. They’ve dumped their partner. 😁 You could be onto something.

Reminds me of the story about the moth who went to the cardiologist's office. For fifteen minutes he flitted around the office, complaining about his life, problems with his wife, anxiety, etc. Finally the doctor said, "You need to see a therapist, not a cardiologist. Why did you come here?" And the moth answered, "Because your light was on."

Generally speaking, people who yawn when someone else does are empathetic. Substance abuse treatment has one of the highest relapse rates of any type of therapy, so alcohol/substances could be an answer.
