It really impacts your mood, but also how social you can be and what activities you can do.
If Ireland had Italy’s weather, safe to say people would be a lot more happy/optimistic (and also in better shape!)

I didn’t think we would do that great anyway.

Can’t be getting ahead of ourselves. We are more optimistic than we will ever be allowed to admit

I don’t think we could rate that high

„Smile!“ they said, „life could be worse!“
So I did…
… and it was.

Interesting that it’s all European countries in the top 10.

Well, sorry if we’ve spotted the rather obvious trend of decline in the last decade.

Well they only surveyed 60 countries, so that rules out like 150 to begin with.

I was worried we would be one of them 🙁

Fuck sake, we couldn’t even make the top 5!

Ahead of Denmark!
Wild that places like Moldova would be more optimistic. I guess when you’re coming from a low place you may think things can only improve. But places like Ireland and France may feel they have had good times and can’t hold on to them, and unlike the yanks are more pesimistic by nature.

Fair play to Bulgaria, we were never going to be number 1 anyway.

We complain a lot, but also not ever in a way to cause any change

Number 1 politician looks like a hemorrhoidal bank manager, and Number 2 looks like a 70s sitcom undertaker.

I’ll do better this year, just hard to commit myself full time to the moaning.

I think this is a pointless survey.

I’ve not looked at the full list but I’m betting those Danish bastards have beaten us again.

Sure lookit, down with excessive optimism anyway.

Honestly, I’ve been away for nearly 3 years now. It’s gone so sad because every single thing I read about Ireland is negative.
Sadly the negative stuff gets the most traction but honestly, there isn’t a whole lot of things that are going good at the minute.

I would argue that the majority of us are not gullible and taper our expectations for the coming year being better based on the fact that we can see things are getting worse. Having been to other countries, an effort is made to give people facilities to enjoy themselves and forgot about all the shit going on in the world. There’s nothing done in this country to encourage joy. It’s just about what more can be squeezed out of us. So we become cynical of everything.
