[depression]

what do you guys think of this article written by an american who travelled around the world to compile a list of the happyest nationi, after coming to england.

“I feel sorry for the Brits; they don’t merely enjoy misery, they get off on it.”

“The colours range from deeper to lighter shades of grey. The people seem grey too, and slightly dishevelled.

Both nations, the researchers found, liked positive humour, but only the British appreciated sarcasm, self-deprecation, teasing and ridicule, and the less pleasing aspects of racist or sexist humour.

“Self-defeating humour tends to be highly correlated with neuroticism. People who tend to be more negative, depressed and anxious tend to use that kind of humour,” Dr Martin said.

What do you english people think?
