Are you happy about the ranking of your country? Do you think that it is a good representation of reality? And more importantly, are you happy?

I feel that people in my country are never happy about anything, but objectively speaking, its ranking seems about right. I personally do not worry much about happiness since I follow Albertine's method to forgot about this fundamental issue by devoting all my attention to work.

Don't know, would say I'm neither happy nor unhappy. My deepest condolences to the Afghans, I'd probably end myself if I had to live there.

Well, my country (Finland) is usually at the top of these lists.

"Are you happy?"

Umm, yes and no.

Damn Not bad The lower rated countries are basically predictable, but the more "advanced" countries are more happier dont know about china tho lol.
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.
RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING.

Well according to memes no one here is happy.

Am I personally? I am neutral, if something good happens than I am temporarely happy, opposite if something bad than I would be sad. There isn't a thing which would make me feel Happy all the time, it would be so weird and I ain't gonna fake emotions.

Oh and obviously I always smile in Polish

Israel being number 5 is bullshit. They clearly did not include Palestine and West Bank.

#20 I think is a little surprising for my country, as everyone always whines about how it's a "nanny state" and bans everything.
But fortunately I don't need man-eating dogs or disposable vapes to have fun in my country, as we have plenty of trains, which I love dearly ❤️

Happiness is not a metric that should be used to indicate goodness.

I really don't care about the ranking, and I don't know if I'm happy.

The fact that countries currently engaged in wars, facing dire economic conditions or highly unstable political environment are much higher than the one where I currently live is enough evidence that these and other such similar reports/indices are as trash as one can make them.

I fluctuate between being happy and morose depending on my day, but overall I would lean towards the former.

@PlasticRobot Agreed. What a useless and deplorable idea, even if just a stupid conversation starter.

I'm neither perennially happy nor sad, and I think that's how things should be.

Nothing can stop the indelible human spirit in the face of adversity, finding happiness regardless of social status. The beauty of human strength.

Skill issue.

This ranking is utter nonsense. Certain countries (some who are "countries" in quotation marks) are so high up and yet they have people leaving them in droves cause of lack of economic and living opportunities, not to mention some currently in armed conflicts, or are politically a mess.

I'd say it's true. Since the country I live in, people behave eachother toxic as they're in a Russian ESEA CS server, some battle-royale game or dungeon parties of some WoW private server that allows players every insult.

You can get killed by some maniac just because you honk the horn on traffic or be subjected to mobbing in a job that pays you lesser than 300$ a month.
If you like sports, then some president of football club that did match-fixing (Had banned from UEFA competitions for 2 years 'cuz of that) 10 years ago can accuse other teams as match-fixer and their fans as terrorist and make people hate each other just like in early 80's English League (Before Thatcher).
Never wanna talk about politics as you can guess how it is.
Since the economy of the country got worse and we literally gave half of the country (maybe even more) to immigrants everything went bad.
Everything is changed. Mainly people of the country, maybe economic crisis has show their real faces.
I remember my dad was saying when we saw India on TV "Income distribution inequality is very high". Now we're in that situation.
I was a certified NEET (=D) for nearly four years and was living in some small seaside town. Two years ago I moved to city and I was shocked about what I saw.

I can't talk football even with my friends because of this man-made hatred that rich people did. How people could have been happy in here?
It feels like you didn't lost your home but lost everyone that you love inside that house. It feels like haunted place now and there is no solution.

I wrote the truth now and they knew which country it is, probably they will try to argue with me 'cuz in here we don't like the people that say the truth.
Even we have a proverb:
"They expel anyone who tells the truth from nine villages."
